FLYING TIPS:
It seems the controls have received a lot of criticism. They are pretty tricky to get a handle on. Sorry for that! Improving them is just a matter of playing with gravity and the flap constants, but I unfortunately didn't have time :(
However, it is still possible to play just fine! I hope these tips help.
- If your keyboard keys do nothing it is because you have a gamepad or joystick connected. Use it or unplug it!
- You can hold CTRL or Gamepad 1 to flap. No need to tap button.
- You generate more lift when you aren't moving left or right. Just flap without a direction and you will fly upward. Very important for avoiding a crash!
----------
You are a fruit bat.
You eat fruit.
You live in a cave!
Miners are in your cave.
Destroying and taking.
Stop them the only way you can...
With GUANO!!!
Controls:
- CTRL to flap
- SPACE to excrete guano (poop)
- ARROWs to navigate
- If a gamepad is detected it will be used.
Objective:
- Rack up pooints by pooping on the miners
- Clean miners and those returning with ore are worth the most!
- Don't crash into the cave walls or miners
- Try not to get hit by flying rocks

I had a great time taking part this year! This was my first time actually entering LD, and I will surely take part again next time!
After LD ends I will port to MacOS X. It should just be a matter of getting compiler settings / include files right.
For now its Win32 only.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has produced!
