Irmgard reichts, she has enough of the ravenous pigeons in the townpark, flocking around and destroying the beautiful statues of her beloved Johann Strauss. Irmgard strikes back. Together wirh her dog, Waldo, she goes on the hunt. If she's tired and worn out from the fighting she sits down on the public benches to rest and regain some healthpoints. Help Irmgard to kepp the park clean!
I don't see anything much unconventional about the gun Irmgard uses to kill the pigeons with, frankly, and having to shoot 320 pigeons to whin the game seems like a bit overkill (haha pun!). To me, commuting between the 4 statues with old Irmgard was a bit tiresome and throwing bread constantly to keep the flying pests away my tactic of choice. The graphics are really nice and have a nice retro top-down-shooter appeal, also the animations of pigeons (which look a bit like ducks to me) and dogs are very fitting. Nice work!
Art was great for 48h. Unfortunately the gameplay itself was really boring. There was a single very distant goal and no feeling of accomplishment other than increasing stat of killed pigeons.
Not bad. Enjoyed an example of GM:Studio work. Found it pretty funny. The cane gun or whatever it was seemed unconventional to me. Should the dog be able to eat pigeons?
Thx for the Feedback, in hindsight i could have fleshed out the game more, but then i wouldnt made it to the compo. And i think thats what ludum dare is about; how far do you get with 48h and what can you learn from the feedback :) @johnnwfs: Yes, the dog loves eating pigeons @plams: i will look into that.
Unguard Irmgard. It's a dirty job but someone's got to do. Killing two birds with one bread. I like the bait idea. Some obstacles were hard to see but fun and very funny game.
