The flock movement works well too, at least when we're not spamming the mouse too much :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The gameplay itself is fun for 3min it takes to finish it, otherwise sadly there's not much strategy\/replayability in here, I kept clicking the golems to death and it worked :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I've thought a bit about possible improvements to make the game more strategic... Maybe you could make the golems be afraid of the birds, but give finer control over the flock, letting the player try to surround the golems and attack them from all directions?
