I liked that the camera followed the egg when you threw it up into the sky really high!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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."},{"author_name":"ZYXer","author_uid":"20509","time":"Sep 18, 2016 @ 11:10am","epoch":1474196700,"text":"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\r<br\/>\r<br\/>His final high score: 745\r<br\/>My final high score: 2680\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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."}],"images":["ld36\/112761-10c809c6a0716a077059e12fda44b5e1.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drapple.itch.io\/sling-fling","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"1030","g_author":"112761","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"1003","g_title":"Sling Fling","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"4","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/112761-shot0-1472517888.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"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!\r\n\r\nThis 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!\r\n\r\nKnown issues:\r\n\u2022 You can spin the egg too fast and cause physics issues.\r\n\u2022 You can hit the chicken with the egg without releasing it, allowing for unlimited points.\r\n\r\n- Douglas Applewhite","title":"Sling Fling"}
