killCity postmortem here:

Did you find the beautiful goat?

If you want to use another resolution, start the game with X Y and if you want fullscreen, add f. On windows:
killCity_x86.exe 2560 1440 f
Linux: killCity_x86.bin 800 600 f
And so on.

If you are on a Mac, you can play the Windows version of killCity in WINE. ( http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/FAQs )

Oh, And there is of cause a goat in the game, but you will have to earn the privilege to gaze at it. Also, there is NOTHING wrong with gazing at a goat.

Good graphics. As of everything else, not that good.

A bit of polish would be needed, yes, still an okay game though.
I like that you just stuck a golden goat in there, it's way too easy to get to gaze upon it's glory though.

I found the way to select the lasers a little troblesome... Maybe if I could just press 1,2,3 to select them...

Nice short game!

Nice game!

I found on the windows version that replacing the window on the screen makes the window go black except for the cursor.

I'm on linux Mint 14 and got this from x64 bin: "error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" and this "Error of failed request: GLXBadLargeRequest" from x86 bin.

Nice - liked it - there is indeed a very rewarding goat.

Nice and simple game. I like the fact you need to 'lure' the gun towards one side to be able to hit the other side, though this makes hitting near the middle rather difficult. Polish that mechanic to make it more fun.

Selecting sats is a bit of a chore. Hotkeys on the num bar or cycling though them would work well.

Drabiter I'm sorry, you need to install the libsdl-mixer package for it to work, might be more of the libsdl packages that you need.

The goat is really cool :)

The game, well its ok. The graphics are great (3D in 48h, not bad), but its not so much fun to play as you have almost nothing to do.
But nevertheless good job!

I will try this later when I'm on my beefier system. It's too slow on my laptop :)

Nice gameplay, Satellite and town selecion is sometime a bit messy. Maybe red flash would have help to figure out that the sat is unavailable. +1 Humor for the let me go button :)

Haha, short but sweet. Congrats for not trying to force hours of gameplay out of it.

Nice game. Controls could be improved, specially laser selection. Nice Graphics and sound.

Thanks for the siny goat! ;)Too short. I really like the ideas of classic games reverted so now we are the bad guys and we play against what we used to incarnate when playing :D The graphics are nice, but missed many more levels and difficulties :P

Interesting gameplay.
If it was tightened up it could be super fun!

Quite cool - a sort of anti-missile-command game. It's a bit easy to win, and with only one level it's over pretty quickly, but it was fun while it lasted :)

It was fun to trick the turret in to looking the other direction =p

I recommend you use jpeg for noisy textures in the future. You would easily save 20 MB if you did.
