Feed The Birds by Gunzil
Click and drag on the screen to reach into your bag of bread and throw some crumbs to the ducks! I am not responsible for what happens next.

The money is just a score counter that indicates how many people you were able to hit before everyone left the scene. The envisioned usage was to spend it on upgrades and such but we wanted to keep things small.
The velocity of the bread you are holding in your hand mirrors velocity of the bread that is thrown, so you need to let go of the mouse button while it is moving across the screen.
Pretty cool sandbox xD I had difficulty controlling the direction of the throw... but the concept was pretty neat :P And the graphics too. The duck sound effect when it zooms down is pretty awesome in a weird kind of way as well.
Nice consistent graphic style as well - I like the abstract buildings, but they feel a little awkwardly spaced. I'd like to see a more complete city, or perhaps a different locale (duck pond?).
This was fun to play, and I felt like the style/animations/music/sound all meshed together quite nicely.
I finally got to play your game.
Unfortunately I will not be able to say anything new here. I like the velocity based controls (although would be better on touchscreen than my laptop) but if I didn't read your post I would have never guessed.
Music and duck sounds are kinda annoying but in a good way. I actually have it turned on in the background for around ten minutes now and cannot seem to turn off. Calling it over-menacing is quite accurate :). General idea is also quite nice.
Hope to "meet" you and your team next Ludum Dare :)
Cheers
