But it was fun trying to build forts and trampolines to deflect them to correct paths anyway ;) I think with a little more work it could make a pretty decent full game ;)"},{"author_name":"Croze","author_uid":"24715","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 2:27am","epoch":1377742920,"text":"Don't have an android :("},{"author_name":"vandriver","author_uid":"4241","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 1:57pm","epoch":1377784320,"text":"Knowing where and how many hedgehogs were coming would go a long way to making the game feel more puzzle-like.

I also had the idea of limiting the number of blocks to make each level more tactical, but I did not get around to adding this in.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the idea of showing where the hedgehogs will be coming from - the player would be able to plan ahead without having to fail the level a few times just to find out what the pattern is to the hedgehogs arriving.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Now I've got motivation to improve this little game!  :-)"},{"author_name":"Amber","author_uid":"27474","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 9:14am","epoch":1377853740,"text":"Hedgehogs are adorable!

My tactic turned into dropping as many blocks as possible randomly and hoping for the best, which is probably not how you meant the game to be played.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The solution dropped by the solve button failed on the fourth level for me.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, really nice work.

A bit like Angry Birds in reverse :) I found that just spamming a lot of blocks usually worked, except on the last level. Also the &quot;Solve&quot; button once gave me a solution that didn't work -- probably the pysics aren't 100% reproducible.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The physics are good, but the sounds are a bit harsh.

The original compo version is  now only available via direct download (see links).\r\n\r\nThe post-compo version now limits the number of blocks that can be dropped on each level, and shows the number of blocks left that you can drop. There is also a new fifth level, which is more difficult than the earlier levels.\r\n\r\n----------------\r\n\r\nThe Hedgehogs are ANGRY, and they are ATTACKING!\r\n\r\nThese suicidal rodents have no fear of catapulting themselves into battle!\r\n\r\nOur only defence is a SKY FUNNEL, capable of dropping wooden logs to BLOCK the flight of the catapulting hedgehogs.\r\n\r\nStrategically arrange these in advance of the rodent's TEN SECOND flurry of attacks!\r\n\r\nPREVENT all hedgehogs from reaching any of our WEAK SPOTS (the RED areas), and ensure that at least one of the hedgehogs is deflected to one of our STRONG SPOTS (the GREEN areas).\r\n\r\nIf you SURVIVE the ten second attack... your REWARD is to test your mettle in the next wave of attacking VERMIN!\r\n\r\nGood luck Soldier!\r\n\r\n--------------\r\n\r\nTouch the buttons around the edges of your phone's screen in order to drop TALL or LONG logs, or to START the hedgehogs attacking. Aim to complete each level with the minimum number of logs. Most levels can be beaten by dropping only 3 or 4 logs.\r\n\r\nTo make it easier to see all of the levels, I have included a SOLVE button that will demonstrate the solution to the level. There is also a NEXT LEVEL button that will take you straight to the next level, without having to wait through the solution.\r\n\r\nThere are four levels in total. After the last level you will be returned to the game title screen. If you get these by beating each level, then you have won!\r\n\r\n--------------\r\n\r\nDevelopment notes: this is my first Android game, and my first game made in Corona. I spent about 20 hours on this game.","title":"Hedgehog Wars"}
