Goodtimes.

Play it! It's hard, so you've gotta be awesome to finish it, but when you it'll be worth it.

Not sure if it was just my problem but king kong would not turn around. Overall great game though! It was very pretty to look at. I loved the color scheme you used.

daaaaaah! got him down to 26. The controls felt good. Kong looked like a giant mutant panda.

Love the art style! It would be nice if there was a button to accelerate a bit. But otherwise, well done!

Game was kind of hard to play for me, but really cool idea. Tried it out more than a few times.

Nice graphics, reminds me Lampi茫o the Movie.
And it's not so hard, you just need a little patience.

An acceleration button would be nice :)
The plane is a bit slow...
Overall this is a lovely, be it a bit short, but fun game.
I like the graphical style :)

Excellent visual style, great sound design. I love the feel of flying the plane.

I'd love to see the gameplay rebalanced, because right now once you figure out the correct way to hit and run it because a bit boring to repeat over and over.

Awesome flying game, Kong takes some beating but I managed it...

Love the dramatic music and tension flying about the scene... great job :-)

Very nice aesthetic, and I liked the way the plane turning is handled.

I would have pegged Kong for the villain but what do I know?

Love the art! So gorgeous!
But maybe a bit slow :) I would like to fly much faster!

Colour scheme in this game looked really nice. The subtlty of the 3D was great. Controls were nice to use after a bit of use. Nice work!

Very good concept ! Nice 3D to 2D effect ! I really like. Too bad it was too short, i want more :)

Beautiful art style; really set the mood of the game! A little difficult to maneuver the plane at first, but it was manageable. Great work!

Nice little game. I like the minimal color palette. I got him down to 2 and then died from crashing into a building. One thing though...I thought King Kong was the 'villain'?

He was just cruising around his island protecting his island, then he was taken to the city for our amusement. He's just a big softie. Ok, a really big softie.

Great entry! I think it could be improved if the boundaries of the map were marked a bit more clearly. I was confused when the plane kept turning around automatically.

Good-blinking-stuff there, I liked the red moon rising/ apocalypse now colour palate.

Very nice, found it a bit difficult to begin with but very fun once you sink into it.

Nice music and mood. Kong should turn around or do something to maybe make it more challenging. There's really no risk to dying unless you get impatient of fly badly.
Floko
19. Dec 2012 路 02:38 UTC
nice music, pretty visuals... but the game was a bit easy, maybe kong could throw stuff or something like that, to increase the challenge. I just don`t get the theme, feels like kong is the villain.

And it's so nice to have a auto fire lol.

Nice mechanics and idea. Not sure if you are the villain in this but i guess that this monkey is city govern.
Great music and dramatic color scheeme :) Enjoyed it but didn't have balls to finish it.

great entry, congratulations. Kong not turning around makes for a good "attack from behind" strategy, not sure if this is wanted:P

Great job! Nice, smooth controls and a simple, well-defined goal - something that is missing from some other entries :D

The control of the plane is really great!

I love the aesthetic too.

The auto turn is clever.

It took me several tries to get to the end. One time, I was going to win, but then I decided to explore the sky... SURPRISE :)

Yeah man, I always hated those planes when I watched King Kong as a child. Poor King Kong. :[

Well done.

Boy is it hard not to die! Controls weren't difficult, but your turn radius is so large and your line of sight so small that it is really hard not to crash, by the time you see the obstacle it is too late to do anything.

I liked this, especially the graphics and the Kong laugh.

Really like the controls. Switching between left/right is intuitive.

Minimal visual style for maximum effectiveness, check. Good mood because of smooth animations and proper setting. A big ape. What more does one need?

Btw, by going fullscreen in the web player, my fire rate about quintupled allowing me to mow Kong down in 2 passes.

This is the best use of unity I've seen yet. You've used it for a purpose rather than just "whey-hey 3D". The style of the game is great and I like the idea.

Gameplay wise, it's a little tedious and easy. I'd love to see what you would do with it with more time.

The sound effect when you die is hilarious. It was pretty fun, although a little difficult and took me a few tries to get anywhere. It'd be nice if he could turn around and face you while you're shooting him from behind. Great work!

Fun game! Reminded me of the bonus sections in Area 88 on the SNES a littile bit. Sound effects, music and nice limited palette graphical style all add up to a stylish looking and playing game. I'd like to have had more pressure on me in the form of a fuel meter / limited ammo though to ramp up the difficulty mind.

I liked the graphical style and music! The plane controls were great, but the Kong appearently does nothing but stands still and waves his arms, perhaps he could have moved around or thrown stuff at you to make it bit more challenging?

Really awesome! I love the art-style, it's like playing in a stylized old fashion movie poster! Also love how the music changes as you approach Kong. The controls play really well. It wasn't really that hard when you figure out that you can just go from behind and do a slow attack, rinse and repeat. Would benefit from different attack patterns. Overall, great game!

Gonna start writing this stuff down. Most of them are things I threw out because of time, but the comments are showing stuff I've never thought of. Thanks to everyone for the kind words too!

I really like the art style! It looks cool. I like the controls, but because he just stands still you can just repeat the same back and forth motion to kill him :(

Love the controls - simple and satisfying. :)
