* First ever Ludum Dare (and first game), ever! * I did this in 48 hours, under Compo rules. I just missed the deadline. :)
Help defend the cheese for 3 minutes and 20 seconds, with super sharp paper airplanes... because... why not?
INSTRUCTIONS Tap the ground and save the golden goodness! (tap to the left for slower planes, to the right for faster planes) [the ground has three tap sensors, for near, middle, and far]
SCORING -5 to throw a plane +100 per rat +1000 per cheese bits remaining at end of level 10

Sorry Huo-cuo, I've added instructions for where to tap to the description. (tap to the left for slower planes, to the right for faster planes) [the ground has three tap sensors, for near, middle, and far]
The airplanes indicator is not great since it's just a gray number instead of a color or a bar that changes size. I think that for some of the fast mice it's not possible to hit them before they reach the cheese, unless I get lucky and throw the plane before they come onscreen. Also I couldn't figure out how to aim right next to the cheese, it would usually overshoot.
Very fun concept! I liked those mice, especially their standing animation :D And very lovely "squeek") Congratulations on your first LD entry and game!
got to lvl 10 but ran out of cheese, nice game! could use some background music, and a bit easier controls when it comes to aiming. overall great game though
The mice started to appear and move too fast for me to throw an airplane at them. The delay of throwing a plane at the mice is rather long. I ended up just shooting as many planes as I can at such a short distance. Sort of worked... made it to the end. Funny little game.
I wish that the aiming system was clearer because this game was pretty cool. Great graphics, great feel (when it feels like the airplanes are doing what I want), but it's just not a consistent feeling of fun due to the aiming.
I really like how you did the art with photos. That cheese pile looks quite appealing. The sounds are also great. My only critique would be that I wanted a bit more control over the planes. The difficulty seemed to ramp up pretty nicely, and it is pretty hilarious too. There was one instance where a mouse seemed to jump up almost as if it was dodging the planes. It grabbed a piece of cheese and scurried off.
Squeek! I guess they can dodge too! Had some difficulty to correctly aim for a particular row (depth?). Simple but fun game. Plane spamming only works for so long :-)
Awesome first entry. I would like if it was more clear when and when you can't throw an airplane, as I'd have gaps in when I could throw that weren't completely clear. Great first entry though!

At first was kinda hard to hit the rats that were too close to the cheese.
As a tip, there could be some visual indicator showing in which row the plane would be landing.
I found the airplanes to be a little hard to control, but still had fun
Funny little game.
Nice first game :)
