Really nice game, cool graphics. I wish there were a mechanism to play with the coal, like putting it in to the firebox to speed up train, but not too much that it would overheat, something like that. Would add another dynamic to the game and engage the player more. But overall very enjoyable game.
Good humor and fun game. Asteroid dodging planet stacked with laser shooting dinos, whats not to like. I am Dinomandias, look on my works ye mighty and despair.
Decent game. Took me some time to understand the delivery mechanism but after that enjoyed it. In one of the runs i cleared all enemies and then the screen just became blank and stayed like that till time ran out.
Graphics look really stylish. Waiting for a web or Linux version to rate it. :(
What an awesome feel to the game, great visuals and background music. Like others have said, the ground getting destroyed seems very hard to execute, kudos!. Very minor thing that i can think to improve is to have some sort of mouse cursor/aim when not throwing things, to help keep the player oriented in terms mouse position. Well done.
Nice game. At first the movement was a little confusing for me but once I got used to it I had more fun. Good job.
Nice idea. Well executed. Got to 37 after few tries.
Awesome game. Fun and engaging start to finish. Great job on different attack types, as other have pointed out.
hahaha! black haired johnny bravo killing cheerleaders to save grandma. Good laugh and well executed art and sound. Will recommend after a hard days work. :D
Really awesome game. Its addictive, keeps you engaged. Well done.
Awesome game. Well executed and polished.
Really addictive gameplay. Was trying to be smart by prioritizing on central bombs but eventually ran out of time. Fun game well done.
Nice fun game. Good job.
Great game. Was not expecting giraffe hero 5 to show up at some point. hahaha!. PS: I am bad at it.
Nice and fun game. Great concept and good graphics. One suggestion would be to keep turn and use buttons close and/or make planet auto-rotate when use button is pressed. Once I had a couple of launchers setup I had to keep going back and forth between buttons. Also, screen size was a slight issue, it was very large and I had to scroll to see some sections of the game. Overall game was fun and concept was nice.
Fun game and lot of depth in terms of different strategies that can be applied. Very nice take on the theme. Great concept and well done. Doggy and Slip slide be op. :)
Really like the art and music. The story was nice and short. Hopefully you guys get chance to expand it. Good job.
Nice game. Good art. Really like the idea of time loop. Stuck on level 4 though, game is tough.
Nice game. Good concept. Movement was fine but I was having some trouble lining up the troops at first. Figured out after a couple of tries, this aspect can be improved/made more intuitive, like maybe have hovering direction buttons around the troops or use keyboard keys to direct line of fire. Otherwise, good game and well done.
@jhax Hmm, did not think of playing with the timer, nice avenue to explore. I was planning to add other actions on the black ball, like charging the ball for few seconds and allowing you to clear balls from one side. You would earn these charges if you kept more balls on the bar. I could not implement it well, so just decided to keep it simple for the submission. Thanks for your input.
@eli-delventhal I was trying to add more complex actions but could not implement them well for now. Will try to improve it with time. Thanks for commenting.
@benskca Enemies but also friends. If you have more balls on the bar then new ones don't disturb the balance too much but changing direction is harder. At least that was the idea but maybe the game in its current setup is skewed towards less balls on the bar. Will try to add more actions and ball types to improve the game. Thanks for playing and rating the game.
@augustcoder In terms of the torque, yeah I need to test the game more, including new features to find the optimal torque. Even thinking of adding more torque as a temporary powerup that you get for removing specific color balls from the bar or something similar. Thanks for your feedback. In terms of opting out of audio, I saw required written in brackets and was submitting at the last moment so, I think I got confused thinking those fields are required. I have opted out of it now.
