THE BUTCHER by pythong

[raw]
made by pythong for LD25 (COMPO)
You are the butcher.

It's sad, but you have to kill all those innocent chicken.
You have to. Someone has to do it, so that people don't have to kill the chicken themselves.
Which makes you a killer.
You are a bad person.
Because you kill innocent chicken...

Use your mouse to drag a line across the screen, and you will cut anything that is marked. But don't cut the vegetables! Because they don't BLEED...

-----------------------------

hehehe, that aside, background of this game is that I like to annoy some of my friends who are vegetarians :D. People who eat meat are bad, but can you kill a digital chicken? Even if it looks so stupid? I allow it!

*PS* : I'm having trouble uploading the source code on my google site, no idea why, and I will try again tomorrow. For now, it's a sendspace link. Bear with it please :/

It's too easy for too long at the beginning, so you don't want to retry and it's really annoying cause else it would be much more fun since the gameplay is fun.

What a fun game. I know it's not new and all. But you did a very good job with the graphics and the overall mood. Fun to play, and ... gaaah those vegetables and fruit.

Nice fruit ninja style game, it starts a bit slow but after killing a few dozen chicken it becomes fun.

I like how you cut the chicken up exactly where you slice - nice touch :-)

Poor little chickens. You villain! My only gripe is that the game is a bit unresponsive and your previous line doesn't vanish until you make a new one.

Fun little game.

This is impressively polished. I would have liked more variation in the challenges of the game though.

Very cool. Lots of fun. I agree with another poster that fading the cut line out would improve things, also the balancing of the chickens and vegies.
As a suggestion, maybe put in a Revengeance style multi-cut bonus?

As others have said the difficulty ramps up too slowly at the start, but it is really fun. The slicing works well and it's quite satisfying!

Sweet :) As said by Anna it takes to long to get difficult. The lines not disappearing didn't really bother me. Best score 1110 :)

Score 1090. The difficulty could perhaps ramp up a bit faster, but it was very well done game, nice job!

Nice game, but I feel like you should limit the lenght :)

I enjoyed the audio and cutting effect. The fact that all objects had the same path meant that for most of the game I had my mouse over the exact same spot.

Haha, I like it! And it definitely arouses villainy urges: I wanted to slash the dead chicken against just because I could! (Alas, I couldn't. Sadly.)

I loved the moment the first fruit came in and the game reminded me that this is NOT Fruit Ninja by awarding me an "X". I don't know if that was intended to be so funny, but it seriously cracked me up.

The graphics are cute and work well.

The sound fx is cool. The music is nothing outstanding, but it blends good into the background.

All in all: Well done, thanks for a few minutes of fun!

Haha, liked it. Impressed at the clean cutting. The only improvement I can think of is getting extra points for a clean head-chop.

Chicken ninja! I think that the flow at the beginning is a little bit bad: Too slow for me. Anyway very good work. :-D

Funny entry! Really nice adapted fruit ninja mechanics to the theme ;) The beginning is too slow maye, and sometimes I had to wait a lot until another chicken appeared. But it is funny despite these little flaws. Maybe just because is the trend, but a little bit of gore would have been welcome hehehe somee blood around and guts! :D

Nice that you can cut them even vertically. I think this is an obvious candidate for iOS porting :D

I am vegetarian and I approve of this game.
