Rescue the yeti from it's captors and reek your revenge. The massive yeti is indestructible, but your helicopter is not. Ahh, but don't worry, it's only a movie! See if you can keep the crowd happy and shouting for more.
Controls: move mouse to control helicopter.

Fun little game. The physics on the yeti responded well. My only real nitpick is that, on the web version, if the mouse goes off screen, the helicopter stops, which is a problem if the player gets enthusiastic during the heat of the moment. Storing the last know mouse position and moving towards that should help with this minor issue. Also, sounds from the soldiers dying and the yeti swinging around would add a great touch.
I think more content like story or a goal like a specific number of destroyed vehicles would have been it a more enjoyable experience. It feels a little dumb to swing that yeti also the physics making it quite fun. Maybe more reactions of the audience could have intense the feel of being an actor and finding a goal for myself?
The funniest interpretation of the theme so far. The game taking place in one screen as well as on the virtual cinema screen gives this extra points. I would definitely like to play an improved version with goals and progression.
Great little Physics toy. Only problem with it was the copter sticking when your mouse left the screen, but such is the way of embedded games sometimes.
It was an interesting idea, and a fun game. The graphics were pretty nice, and the physics worked really well. It was challenging, and kept me playing for a while, although I can't say I was that good. I got a highscore of 2000
Such a fun game! Well done! I Included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/QrqYJieiXWs
Was good fun, though I found the sound effects a little harsh and annoying at times... I liked the setting, having it as a movie, and the guy in the audience that seemed to be cheering on the yeti...
I like this one, especially effects and animation. Reminds me of hammerfight. controls are smooth, but it is a pity that webplayer don't capture the mouse, so it can't escape the window.
I really liked the way that the yeti would bounce, it felt really nice and led to a lot of good maneuvers! I wish there was some sort of goal to hit. But overall a very fun game! I like that it takes place on a movie screen, very nice touch! :)
Two things: - Lock the mouse pointer to the viewport. - Replace the mouse pointer with the helicopter so there is no confusion. My mouse pointer and helicopter are at two different positions in the viewport.
Game as a movie in a theater is a great idea and fits the jam theme perfectly! Controls could've been a little better - helicopter has very little inertia which creates not so pleasant experience and the challenge is not as you've expected. Instead of flying away from planes and copters you're trying to not to hit into them, which is little against intuitive way, imho. In other aspects, the game is very nice and well done!
Simple idea that works surprisngly well. The physics make it satisfying to play. The cinema screen thing is a neat visual style. I wish I could restart the game quicker when I die (does it really need to show the MPAA-style warning every time?) Otherwise good stuff.

I agree that goal-based levels/progression would be cool, but you know... 48 hrs :P So, had to keep it simple.
Physics were a bit tricky - the player wants to move fast but it caused glitches if too fast. Certainly can be improved though.
I'll do a post-mortem today, but audio is something I always leave to the last minute. It needs more yells and screams!
Good concept. Its fun, for a short period.
Graphics are good and physic is excellent. Good work.
@SeriousDeath - I never allow enough time for audio, and Sfxr produces harsh sounds, I agree.
Will upload full post-mortem later today.
