Use the sling, an ancient form of weapon, to fling eggs at a plush chicken. Score points by hitting it harder, but timing is everything when the egg starts spinning!
This was a solo effort of about 12 hours total. 'Twas a busy weekend, but still managed to crank something out. I thought the sling could be an interesting mechanic. There's probably a more interesting game to base on it, but not for me this weekend! Have fun!
Known issues: • You can spin the egg too fast and cause physics issues. • You can hit the chicken with the egg without releasing it, allowing for unlimited points.
It's a decent start, but you should probably have given the sling a maximum length or something to prevent the player from just spinning the egg fast enough to hit the chicken without releasing it.
Pretty simple, kind of like the game better when I wasn't attempting to throw the egg. I liked that the camera followed the egg when you threw it up into the sky really high!
Strangely, despite the controls feeling responsive, I felt that the egg simply spun too fast. It would have been nice to see the egg have a maximum velocity so that it would not go out of control.
Super simple game, but for some reason super addictive! I was playing LD games at my friends house and this was the only game he voluntarily joined in. We played plenty of rounds against each other but I finally perfected my technique and he had no more chance against my epic Sling Fling moves :P
His final high score: 745 My final high score: 2680
Awesome game! Proves that physics can make a super simple game concept quite challenging. The graphics are very good, I like the very subtle parallax effect.
Sometimes I lost the egg if my mouse went out of the game window, which is too bad. Also sometimes I hit the head of the chicken, but it didn't register.
