The gameplay feels very nice. I like how you have to anticipate the arc of the throw. Powerful story too. Good job!

Earth DefenceNice time! Like the multiple endings based on how far you get concept

Project HopelessnessEnjoyed playing this, liked the multiple endings. Didnt complete the game tho. Sometimes the arrow for the aim would disappear if mouse was too low, and would be nice to adjust the angle until I left go of the button... maybe speed up the shooting and reloading

I liked the pixel art style and animations !
The only complain I would have is that in kinda feel slow to go through a wave

Ode To EarthThanks mr. Pectorel, I am glad you liked the pixel art style and animations since they was the things that took the most time to do.
And you are right about the slow waves, and it is fixed in the new version that will be released after finish of ratings! so you may follow us to receive the new update when it comes out if you are interested :)
Thanks for you great feedback!

One Last SiegeVery nice work, especially the artwork. Had hard times at the beginning to get the game mechanics because I thought I was able to adjust the angle while holding the mouse button. So I had to restart three times. An option to skip the death sequence would be a good addition to the game loop, be able to restart faster. My son would love to see rocks on the ground :) Keep up the good work!

The mechanics of throwing the rock at the right angle and intensity were cool, the controls felt pretty smooth, and I liked the way everything looked, nice job on it.

Wow I lost track of time testing this game out. Love the game mechanics and the story concept! Even the fact that you had different endings when you lost or held out was great. Great game, you're doing something right with this one!

The animations are so smooth! And I love the way the player has to "dig around" to find rocks haha. Good story and unique gameplay!

Breaking DuskFun little game. I liked the initial story setup and the ammo management components. I think it would be neat if you could shoot at power-ups that spawn in the air, to encourage trying different shooting angles. Good job!
