A small game about wind turbines, tiny dudes and giant alien.

Blow in your microphone to produce energy. If you doesn't have a microphone or can't use it, press 's' and 'h' keys in rotation.
Maybe the game will fall if you doesn't have a mic, sorry for this, I couldn't check this, so write a comment about it, please.
The microphone not really tested actually and could work very different on different setups, sorry for this and feel free to comment.

M - mute sound

Have fun and don't click on tiny dudes!

To play on Linux or Mac(or maybe Android or something else with LÖVE support), please download LÖVE runtime (https://love2d.org/) and LÖVE game version.
I will try to make web-version soon!

Made with LÖVE and MoonScript. Thanks to https://freesound.org/ for free sounds.

Hey, this is funny :-D "Mom, look, I'm in the game". Blowing into the microphone, very innovative, I like it, but it makes me dizzy very quickly, so the game is quite hard :-D. Simple, but enjoying and funny, good job!

This game has a really cool concept! Nothing one could do for long, but very fun for a short amount of time, I liked it and the explanation at the start was also quite helpful

Baski2 Aug 2017, 17:55

This concept is soo good :))

I liked the art and introduction, very cute and funny. I'm glad I don't have a microphone because I'd die if I had to blow for very long, I can't imagine that being very fun. Otherwise seemed like a generic clicker (blower?). Needed some music to fill in the silence when there were no sfx.

Unusually...=)

The microphone thing didn't work for me, but I loved the chatty people and all the comments that they made, particularly when I clicked on them and they went flying through the air. Nice little animations too.

The game was kind of fun, but it kind of lacked depth. I just kept buying windmills and taxes kept growing. What is the point of buying humans?

EShudra4 Aug 2017, 20:05

Nice game! Dude's phrases are very funny) I've blow to the microphone and earn huge amount of energy and buy many windgenerators at the beginning. But after, taxes are grow up and you can do nothing.

Endless blowing causes dizzy:dizzy_face:

Game beginning is very funny 😄

ARROW IS IN MY KNEE AHAHAHAH))) 😆

Also It would be better with soundtrack

Mood, Humor: 5 🤘

Overall: 3 Gameplay is not balanced

It's not clear to me what exactly the windmills do. Maybe it's because I was using the keyboard and not the microphone, but they just sat there and didn't generate any energy.

Funniest game I've played so far, dunno why but "don't click on tiny dudes" made me laugh. I clicked on them, of course. Wasn't clear to me either what the windmills did, so I ended up investing in people for the most part. Don't have access to a microphone at the moment, but hitting "s" and "h" seemed to work well. Love the commentary from the little dudes as well, nice game overall!

I tried running it with Love on Linux, but it said I have a different version than it is made for and crashed. Running the Windows version with Wine worked (except for the microphone).

Really loved that you could click the dudes until they exploded. Gameplay was a bit shallow and very exhausting (keyboard variant).

Thanks everyone for comments and rates!
@jaculabilis, @pilly, windmills number is a multiplier for producing energy even with keyboard.
@klianc09, hm, I think you need last LOVE version, 10.2, but you have played already c:

Nice, but it doesn't have much of a goal. It's funny and a good concept but it becomes really easy (I had to try to actually lose). Maybe if you got to a certain number of humans you could overcome the monster by entering a humorous battle before finishing the game.

Damn, this game took me breathless!😉 Anyways, this is a great game. It really did take me by surprise. Well done! Though, the game could have been polished a lot more. Adding the extra particles here and there or maybe a screen flash. Other than that, Great Game and Congratulations! 😃
