Killing enemies is satisfying as they leave a swath of carnage behind (or in front) of you, getting a good launch while putting distance between you and the enemies is also satisfying. Sound effects would be nice but again I understand you just wanted to move on and check this in. Sticks well to the theme with the use of the catapult."}],"images":["ld36\/45226-6ff48fa2ac87287e4844052d15178763.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/playcanv.as\/p\/WPoP45TC\/","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"1411","g_author":"45226","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"1372","g_title":"Catapult Whack-A-Mole","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"6","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\/45226-shot0-1472396546.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Control with WASD and mouse.

Everything is just hard to use and mistakes are easy to make. This is why I'm giving up long before the deadline (it is not fun to use bad tools, making something bad doesn't really matter).\r\n\r\nFeatures:\r\n\r\n- wheel rolling based on movement (hard to see because they're just cylinders)\r\n- mostly basic shapes used (didn't want to touch modeling tools)\r\n- wheels leave marks\r\n- reloading catapult (with which you probably won't hit anything)\r\n- animations done in code\r\n- blood particle effects\r\n- no objectives\r\n\r\n","title":"Catapult Whack-A-Mole"}
