To be honest I have no idea how I ended up with this game. My initial idea was that you play dad or mom who then save their children from beeing eaten by "sand-piranhas". uhm and the sand-piranha thing? no idea either where that came from xD
Anyways, contrary to my expectations this is actually a finished game. It has music, gameplay and even a start and score screen. For somebody who entered basically after the first day Im quite happy with my result.
Cheers to all the people who will be playing and rating this =) Ill rate yours too.

Ha ha, didn't even know that sand-piranhas existed before this.

dune - piranha-edition? :D nice idea

The game looks very polished even though I had to play a few times before I understood, why the sand-piranha needs longer to jump on some tiles (need to dive through sand). Oh, and the texts in the window don't show up here.
Feels very well done but should have crying babies for more realism.

Pretty fun. Those buckets are sentient I swear. What terrible childhood event led you to come up with this idea?

For some reason, the game didn't load http://puu.sh/8rvfy.png this is what shows up.

gagapete: I did even record a crying sound, but didnt manage to squeeze it in due to my late start
heychinaski: as I mentioned I have no idea how I ended up with this game xD the initial idea was the total opposite of its outcome, but to implement it in that way it was faster =S

kiririn51: the url is totally fine, this points to my server. you see the ip because I was to lazy to set up some domain-nameserver yet =) though the game not loading up sounds strange, thanks for reporting! maybe just wait a bit longer till the flash-file was loaded?

Really funny idea, couldn't get the web version to run on firefox though (android worked great though)
AngryPriest28 Apr 2014, 23:03
Cool game, I really like the visuals. Damn those buckets!
DannyG5928 Apr 2014, 23:05
haha very nice little game and one of the most unique takes on the theme I have seen :)

enjoyed how you took the idea an played around with it, but gets very receptive, could of used with a little more extras now and again

I couldnt get it to work until I typed in the full path to the swf file:

Silly game, but I kinda like it! Perhaps some more sense behind which tiles to choose? I just clicked more or less randomly and died when a bucket spawned just as I clicked :)

Fun, pretty awesome music. Nice job.

Nice game and concept, took a few attempts to understand but once I did I enjoyed it. Very enjoyable game despite the late start.
Simon@LD30 Apr 2014, 20:24
Great... now i never will come near a sand pit again xD

Strange humor ;) Would be cool if buckets would announce themselves kinda. Sometimes they pop into view right before my piranha makes the jump.

Man, this game is brutal. The whole time I was thinking "can you do this?" TEN STARS FOR BABY KILLING
