Great idea. Almost unplayable in the browser, though :( Seems to be a consistent problem with 3d games that use mouse camera control.

It's a funny idea, fun voice acting and a nice coherent style (visual and audio)! In my browser, the game was lagging slightly when I turned and the turning speed felt a bit fast. This made it very hard to find and to hit the invaders. I think I would have enjoyed it much more if I felt a bit more in control of my character. But it was still a lot of fun, and very different! :D

Obnoxiously British but I'm assuming that was the goal. The swing sometimes feels a little delayed but overall fun.

Really british problems going on here. Good fun, very easy to get stuck on the picnic items

We are working  on a fix now and it will likely come out soon

Thanks to all that have played the game so far! We didn't anticipate this much reception for our first game jam :D

We hope to update the game at some point (likely after the jam is over) and respond to all your feedback :)

Apologies, this doesn't seem to be a widespread issue though

Nice game! I like the humor and the presentation. Fits the theme well, as well. Only nitpick would be the sluggish movement around the picnic area and how collision of the trees makes it unnecessarily hard to travel in the woods.

Good job!

very fun 😂

I like the concept, the movement and hit mechanics are janky on the browser but that makes a bit of sense. I assume they're a bit better on the downloadable version. 

But a very cool game.

Fentooooooon!

Very fun game with nice gameplay. 11/13 colonies reclaimed.

One small thing: I seemed to be stuck on some of the picknick items when walking over them from time to time-

Very entertaining and stressful game watching seagulls wreak havoc on my picnic! In the WebGL build the movement did feel a little sluggish and I would get stuck on picnic items, but overall a very fun and amusing game!
