This is a very charming game! The idea is simple and easy to grasp and the controls are quite responsive.
Off the bat, the main menu didn’t want to work for me at all. I’m not sure if it’s just timing or maybe a stray signal got threw that finally let me play, but most often neither the “How to Play” or “Start” buttons seemed to want to register when I clicked on them.
The game itself starts off easy enough, but very quickly I started to feel overwhelmed by the number of animals headed my way and most of the time didn’t feel I could even move my enlarging circle of animals to catch any of the incoming ones. I kinda felt like this was “hard mode” right from the get go… which wouldn’t have been an issue if there was a choice, but I think the game needs to start at a slower pace and ramp up far more slowly.
Beyond that, this is a wonderful little game! Well made!
Thanks for the comment. I'm sorry you are having problems with the menu. I found out that the cause of this is me forgetting to recalculate viewport of stage after window have been resized =(
Really nice little game, a bit hard to control when it becomes big, and what a nice suprise to see that bear :D.
Couldn't make it, tryed 3 times and died 2 times missing 1 animal to get my gold :'(.
I really liked the game, nicely fit with the theme, good job :).
I should probable make it a little easier =(
Once or twice the mouse glitched out on me, but wasnt a problem. Nice game
Maybe your mouse moved out of game window?
Anyway, thanks for playing =)
Really fun! Good job
Thank you!
Great work! I think it was a really unique take on the theme! I found the controls a little difficult, especially at first as I thought it would face my cursor rather than rotate relative to the movement, but once I figured out what was going it wasn't an issue. While I didn't make it to be a member of the druid circle, I enjoyed playing it. Great work!
The first implementation of controls was exactly as you proposed! But I did't like the result. It's just that rotation speed was not constant with the mouse movement. When you move your cursor to druid - you would spin like crazy=) In order to turn without any sudden rotation you needed to make a whole cemicircle above the druid, and with constantly increasing druid circle radius, it was harder to do.
So I decide to make it like this: you move your mouse left - you turn left, you move your mouse right - you turn right. This makes controlls much more predictable once you realized how they works =)
Very good game! I like the concept and the implementation of the theme. The control with the mouse is a bit difficult but I think I could get used to it. Great job!
Thanks!
Concept is good But it would have been better if it was playable in browser…
Yeah, can't argue with that =)
