Really enjoyed this entry. If you just had some more time some extra levels and challenges would give this a lot more replayability value. I went and filled the whole screen with the track & field guy after completing the game, that felt really good 🙈
I think the polish on your entries was amazing. You definitely kept everyone in the competition on their toes with the great stuff you made. I'm really excited to see with what you come up next, we definitely should keep in touch over discord after the finals are over and ofcourse we should meet again in the next GDKO 😁
Very unique idea, I never thought I would play a first-person angry birds like game here :P But it's really fun! My score was around 4000$ and I feel like the gameplay is well balanced and doesn't take too much time. I also enjoyed spamming the catapult to flood the field with athletes :D
In every round you excelled at making your games stand out visually from the other ones. The polish, creativity and attention to detail was on another level in all the games! I had a lot of fun playing your gorgeous creations. Well done in the whole competition HugBug and good luck - you definitely deserve to win this GDKO!
Love the catapult mechanics. For some reason I'm not as good at hitting the targets on the right as the left. First time through I was just over $2k in debt. I like the concept of having to pay for the shots against what you might get back which fit into the theme well. Fun game.
