Fun game and cute idea, but there really needed to be somekind of feedback when hitting an emu, like a hitmarker or something. Also I think it would have been better to make the emus come in waves, because now they're just fronting you. :)

Has the basics of a 3D shooter, but needs more depth to the game play. Could be interesting if say the player had to cross from one safe space e.g. a building to another.
And the emus need a bit of AI. I like the machine gun model and the firing worked well.

Scéal - The Story Of IrelandAlso a hint for players finding it hard: movement is key: take out the left flank of emus as they come, then start moving left so you can retreat in front of the right flank of emus. This will mean they have slightly further to get to you and give you the time you need to take them out in your futile attempts at heroism in the face of the unending avian tide.

FenlanderI liked the graphics style on this, but I'd have preferred to play as the emus. Also I found the gunshot noise a bit excessive for concentration.
Historical accuracy score less good: the terrain looks good, but the Emus' tactics of all running straight for a lone soldier are somewhat ahistorical and the Australians lost using automatic weaponry and trucks, not the single-shot gun presented, which is important because it makes the whole event even more hilarious.
Anyway, good job and especially well done on the look and art style which were very enjoyable :)

Shooty Shooty Train GameFun game, I would have liked it if I could hold down the mouse button instead of clicking (though that might have made it too easy), and for some reason I expected a jump scare once the emus got close lol.
Well done! :)
