Critter Hurling by MCjammydodger

[raw]
made by MCjammydodger for LD 43 (COMPO)

Rescue critters that have been trapped around each level. Then sacrifice the critters you have just saved by hurling them at various objects to help you reach the end.

If you experience jittery movement whilst playing the windows version, try turning the quality down in the setup screen. For some reason the highest quality settings is causing problems for me.

Interesting concept. I would have probably played a bit more, but, I wasn't a fan of the controls. I felt like my guy moved around and rotated too quickly which made it difficult to both navigate and aim my critters. Also, I really wish those critters made some amusing sounds when I hurled them ;) All that said, you accomplished quite a bit in such a short time! Good job!

I finished the first level in a cinch but the second level... oof... some tricky jumps required with not so precise controls was hard. To be fair I played the HTML5 version with a keyboard. Probably native build with a gamepad would make it a bit easier?

Also I found out that you can "heal" the critters by just dragging their health bar down with the mouse :-)
