Seed Feed by rhaasken
Play as Charles Darwin as you launch seeds at birds to feed them. The finches have evolved to have beaks appropriate for a certain size of seed, so make sure you feed them the right seeds!
For background on how it fits the theme, see this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin%27s_finches
How to play:
- Use the mouse to pull back and release to fire the slingshot.
- The queue of seeds is displayed in the lower left corner of the screen. The next one to fire is farthest to the right.
- Once you have fed a bird three seeds, it will fly away, and a new bird will replace it.

Nice and clean graphics and music!
One thing I couldn't figure out, is why the slingshot didn't show the same seed (not sure what it was holding actually) that was thrown at the birds. It would also help to give a better sense of direction if there would be a little guide / trajectory line to illustrate where you're aiming. It wasn't always clear by just eye-balling it or relying on the angles from the slingshot's straps.
