Flerth by parahunter

The Peeps live about their happy, banal lives day by day, safe in the knowledge their wee world is round. It’s not. Don’t let them find out or the knowledge will eventually, literally blow their tiny minds. Keep them from the edge until they lose interest. It’s for their own good.
CONTROLS
- Left click to pickup Peeps and left click again to set them down
- Right click to SMASH!
Keep your panicked peeps from reaching the city.

But extremely hard very quickly (for me anyway) and I didn't undestand how to score. I only scored 60 but it stayed on the screen for a long while.
Also, there were so many peeps that the game was ramming at the end.
Great work!! ∑d(°∀°d)
@jojocanard you have to keep the Peeps in happy in your city once they start to get away drag them again to your city.
Very well done! Had fun playing! :heart_eyes:
Art is polished and cute ( as the sounds), and the concept and interactions are very fun! Good job! :)
Again you made a great game. Actually I'm not sure you are the same team, but I played your game @parahunter from last LD. The style, gameplay and everything is nicely put together. Maybe the gameplay could use something to make it more challenging. I'm really impressed by your entry again, gratz.
In all seriousness, really great and polished game, especially since it was made in 72h. I have nothing to criticize, except maybe that the game is HARD. A bit too hard.
Smashing those poor flat earthers feels super satisfying.
I had fun playing! Nice work! :joy:
I played a round in which the Peeps would only very rarely venture all the way to the edge.
I had garnered around 5000 points when their city suddenly began to warp and slowly ascended to the heavens to be never seen again...
at that point the Peeps didn't really have any place to return to, so this happened:

:rofl:
Oh wow, hell of a ~~bug~~ secret ending you've found! Love the screenshot, thanks for submitting!
If you fancy trying out our game, we'd love your feedback! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/e-at
Graphics were nice and the controls worked well, good level of polish for a jam game!

One of the best graphics in all the Ludum, congrats!
Congrats!
It's really cute and funny, I'm quite proud of my high score of 550.
At first I felt so sorry I had to smash the non believers, but when there were too many I panicked and killed them all
Perfection.
Seriously though, I loved every thing about this game, the art style is AMAZING, the humor was great, the game-play was quick and responsive. I realized the second time round that you're meant to stop them getting back to town to tell the others about the planets edge by killing them D:
... which was funny though so I stopped feeling bad after my first homicide and quickly proceeded to mass murder all those adorable little... bird people?
The music was absolutely spot on and the sound effects(and animations) were hilarious. I honestly can't think of any constructive feedback to give you. Great job and hope to see more in the future!
