Those poor pigs... A simple game, that's rather satisfying. Got sounds, music, simple but effective art and a solid game-feel, with the AI of the pigs it adds a unique flavor to the whole thing, avoiding it from just becoming another basic space-shooter. Well done!
My only complaint would be that I would have liked to be able to hold down the mouse to continuously shoot, rather then clicking. Also while the AI is very fun, it seems like the lack of space for them to move makes them gather on the sides/walls, making it very easy to shoot them after a while. To be honest, I think the game is played in the wrong shape and just does not make the best use of the AI. I think an better solution would be to have a "round" level, with the player at the center, just rotating + shooting from there with pigs spawning in from 360 around the screen instead would have been better, removing the "walls" issue completely and making the pigs always able to move.
Cool game! Really enjoyed the focus on the AI.
Also, side note: could not get this to work in FireFox, had to use another browser.
Great to get some feed-back! I can assure you that no animals suffered during the game production :)
My idea was to make a mobile game so that's why the space is so confined. The game works on a mobile, at least on mine. A round level would not work on a mobile, but the edge effects could be removed by periodic boundaries. On the other hand it is partly the confined space that gives the illusion of an AI, because there is no AI, it is only pigs repelling each other.
I don't know why the game does not work in Firefox, but I suspect the problem is related to the audio.
quite a funny and addictive game, the IA of the ennemy is really funny and well down !
Happy you liked it! There is no AI in the game but just pigs repelling each other in a confined space. This might give an illusion of an AI.
oh damn you got me ! I feel ashamed now lol
I like how the pigs try to avoid your shots.
Good game-feel.
I would have liked to see hold-to-shoot, or just auto-shooting. There's no reason not to shoot, so clicking the mouse rapidly felt unnecessary.
Thanks for playing my game! Actually the game is really easy to complete by just mowing down the pigs. With auto-shooting I think it may have been too easy. It is possible to complete the game (shoot down 50 pigs) also by precision shooting.
Very fun implementation of a classis with a smart twist.... I noticed that all pigs end up on the sides after a while...
I am glad you liked the game. The problem with a narrow screen is that there is no place for the pigs to escape but to the screen edges.
Cool game!! Simple, yet well done
Thanks a lot! Simple is an understatement...
Nice one ;)
Thank you!
Pretty good! Could use more enemy variety.
Thanks! I agree.
Really nice! Good Job! :)
