No scoring that I could see, so no way to win or lose? But there's something very fun about grabbing a villager and throwing him into a torch-bearing mob! Nice!

OutlawGameTools: Thanks! And you're correct. I updated the description to reflect the game's unfinished state.

1st Thought:
The throw button should be something other than shift. When dealing with a group of angry villagers, the Windows sticky keys window pops up a lot

Pros:
Like OGT said, there's something awesome about throwing villagers into other villagers. There's nothing to this game in it's current state, and I only stopped to move onto rating other games, lol.

Cons:
I don't feel like it's fair to nitpick things at this stage of development. I just wish you had more time to work on this.

Overall:
Could potentially be a fun "High Score" game.

djfariel: Thanks for the feedback. I didn't consider sticky keys... Sorry about that.

I'm kind of happy with the parts that I did finish, but I didn't achieve what I originally wanted... Next time around I will put more focus into actually finishing something, and then improve on that.

Not bad! I agree it's not really fair to criticise the game at this point, but it would be nice to see it expanded and finished :)

C'mon, don't stop at this point, try to make it more interesting, add some competitive things or indicators of progress. Anyway, nice game!

I like how you can throw people at others. Nice atmosphere too.

- graphics look nice
- music is alright, not really fitting to the theme though
- i like how you can throw a villager at another villager
- Shift is probably not a good key for throwing, windows kept prompting me about turning on sticky keys
- i managed to escape by going to the right for a while until i fell offscreen

This is super fun! I think, if you're going to expand it (which you should because throwing people around feels really great already), maybe try some sort of mission system. It'd work as a high score attack game too though, which would be a lot quicker to implement!

Overall it was rather fun and I enjoyed what was there! Just needed to be expanded on but given the time it's totally understandable. Overall jolly good fun!

I really dig those fire particles, very cool effect for a low-rez game!
