As simple as it is, I enjoyed this a lot. At first I thought there was no AI at all so I was biding my time sending raiding parties to get some credits, when all of a sudden the entire enemy goose horde attacked. Once you get thousands of geese going, it looks really cool. Like fire burning away something.
This is, without a doubt, the most epic goose battle I have ever participated in. Really impressive tech demo with some mild but enjoyable gameplay.
Even in the web build, things felt super smooth with 40k geese in the game. I feel like for one particular obvious interpretation of the theme, you knocked it out of the park, so full marks there.
The controls were a little wonky for me -- ctrl click on my macbook is a right click. So zooming sort of worked, but was a bit messed up due to the right click menu taking focus. alt would have worked better, or +-, or scroll is fine if there's a way to go fullscreen.
The rest of this will probably get into "yeah, that's a bit obvious, if only we had time" territory:
Double-tap 1 to center on the hydra would have been nice, or camera movement from the minimap.
And I was thinking that a simple timer to display at the end would help this be more like a game, but there wasn't even a win/loss screen at the end.
I still had a good time with what was here though. The concept of a goose hydra is just great.
The promo/title images are fire (esp. the 2nd one), almost as fire as thousands of geese battling it out
Couldn't go to the city for a duck vacation, though, so 0/10.
While impressive in terms of the amount of entities, it's more of a sim than a game as the enemy hydra just kinda sits there like a - um - duck. I was kinda hoping there would more smaller battles instead of one super long one (those hydras are tanky).
Last of us, Geese edition
cool 3d model
This game was really fun! I was a little confused at first, but once I figured it out, I enjoyed it a lot. I would love to see more :)
Very fun and impressive game! That’s definitely a LOT of entities. Loved watching the front light up as the two sides clashed, and it was very satisfying filling the screen with geese.
