To me, commuting between the 4 statues with old Irmgard was a bit tiresome and throwing bread constantly to keep the flying pests away my tactic of choice. The graphics are really nice and have a nice retro top-down-shooter appeal, also the animations of pigeons (which look a bit like ducks to me) and dogs are very fitting. Nice work!"},{"author_name":"DesignerNap","author_uid":"21374","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 8:21pm","epoch":1429560960,"text":"nice visuals and good humor.
