Obvious some glitches and flaws aside, it was fun and I liked how you added some strategy to it with the enemies, though I never did manage to figure out how to kill the enemies that shoot you with pig-like snouts. Still, impressed you managed all that in two days."},{"author_name":"mactinite","author_uid":"26320","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 4:57am","epoch":1398660720,"text":"Thanks for playing, the ones that shoot at you are the turtles, and they have a soft underbelly. I don't want to give it away but if you think about how you flip turtles in Super Mario that's where I got the inspiration. ;)  When you say obvious bugs and glitches what exactly do you mean? ;)"},{"author_name":"Lacaranian","author_uid":"34171","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:55am","epoch":1398664200,"text":"Made it past a few waves in the first stage and tried the others.

I really like the graphical style and the mechanic for killing the Tawl was fun.
