Volcano demands sacrifices!
Fling villagers into it to appease it!




Tips:
- Fling fireballs before they hit your houses
- Fling a villager in the volcano right before its about to blow, it will drain it completely

Made with Unity 2018.2.2f1, Gimp and Audacity.

Okay this is hilarious XD. i love the sound effect, and although the gameplay gets a bit stale over time, I really enjoyed the 5 minutes I played it.

I told you in itch.io. Gameplay is fun, physics a little weird but great game!

The voices really are the highlight of game!
The flinging could be a little slicker.

This game is all about the sound :D Amazing. Not long lasting, and it needs a arrow indicating the direction.

Even though the game is really simple it does the job. The sound is great. It is fun and I really enjoyed throwing people into a volcano. But it is still easier to catch the lava balls. Good job :)

Really fun minigame! Not much to say here. The gameplay is really nice for the first few minutes, for more than that it's a little too simplistic. But I enjoyed it, good job.

Lol, the sounds are amazing, just imagining you recording those sounds was really funny. The gameplay is quite fun as well, good job, really liked it and had a good laugh.

Great sound effects, made me laugh! :laughing:

What I liked most were the sound effects and the controls.

There could be some fishes jumping out of that water! :smiley:

This game is really fun. Most of the times I lost by pushing the lava balls into buildings myself by accident :)

Thanks for the comments! :D
I really hate the sound of my voice so I almost deleted all audio from the game, glad I left it in :D

This is hilarious.... the sound especially. So much fun. Would love to see a mobile game with those mechanics :laughing:

Hilarious!! Apart from funny physics and sounds I really loved doing headshots with volcano stones.
What is missing are combos - combo for blocking the stone with a stickmen and throw both of them to the volcano.

Good job! ;)

This game is basically the prequel to my own game lmao

I love the sound the villagers make, and the arm waving around. 10/10

hahaha i love the voice acting

The audio is really funny! The mechanics are really fun too. At some point it was actually impossible to keep all the rocks from hitting the houses, there were too many and too often :laughing:
Good job!

this was very stupid but quite fun. The voice sound effects were funny but annoying after a while.
Hawkie3 Dec 2018, 21:49
So simple and very funny. Once you start you can't stop. Could see that working on a mobile device with swipe action. Well done - great job.

I couldn't hold it anymore after I flinged the first villager. The sound and the art are matching perfectly. Such a simple and elegant game Idea. Could have been improved if I had to flinge specific villagers to satisfy the vulcano.

Survived for 140s and sacrificed 29. That was a lot more trickier than I anticipated! But it plays well and the little guys were funny.

The fireballs seemed to fling a lot better than the people. The flinging just did not work as I expected. I really enjoyed the sound effects. Seemed it sort of made sense to keep a fireball around and fling it as protection. If the flinging is cleaned up, I feel there is something here.

Haha nice game and really funny! "Fling fireballs before they hit your houses" -> let it drop and destroyed my whole village xD

This made me laugh out loud. Reminded me of an old defense game where you had to pick and throw soldiers to keep them away. Anyway, my favorite game of the jam so far!

@dk5000p the fireballs might be easier to fling just because they have a bigger collider, its the exact same code otherwise. I should add some UI indicators to let you know how far and how fast they would fly off, but I won't make a new version now, since it would be against the spirit of the compo :)

funny! cant stop laughing in the first minute when they yelled uwaa... got bored after 3 minute though..
dk5000p4 Dec 2018, 15:22
@barrier Yeah I don't think any of that qualifies as game breaking bugs. In the previous Ludum Dare I fixed some colliders that could get you completely stuck but that was about it.

Really Fun game! SFX was amazing tho :smile: But you should add some depth to the game, it gets boring after a little time

The sound effects make this game :laughing: . this is the funniest entry i have player so far. the clicking and aiming of the objects is inconsistent but i enjoyed playing.

Nice game!
The sounds were fun, obviously, and the concept is great!
Not much to do of course, but it's fun while it lasts :)
Well done!

Very cool game mechanic. This would need some sound, but the graphics are nice. Maybe clicking on the villagers and fireballs should be easier?

This is game is so stupid, but in a good way! My only suggestion is that you should make the volcano shoot out more fireballs if you don't sacrifice enough villages at right now it is easier to just keep knocking the fireballs away rather than sacrificing the villagers.
Funny game though!

Funny, fun, enjoyable little game. Sometimes, it was hard to estimate the trajectory of a human fling.

When I flung the first villager and her the sound effect I literally laughed out loud. I like the way the villagers bounce when they don't make it into the volcano. This was a really enjoyable and funny entry to play. Good Job!

Hilarious game, simple gameplay but the sound effects and physics of the villagers made the game quite enjoyable. An animation when the villagers are being thrown would be really cool to see. Good job!
