Meatlings by Zetym
A mobile game satirizing the modern meat industry and indifference towards the origins of our consumption.
Theme: Growing
Grow your business by slaughtering the animals. Just take care what kind of meat you mix. The entrecôte is quite valueable but you can only charge so much for sausage...

Fun game :-)
I thought you put lots of nice touches in with everything either coming on with a bit of a bounce or scaling up.
Also the embedded version has scroll bars (on chrome)
Other than that a great game.
@chriiis88 We thought it would be enough to hint at different combinations giving different scores and letting the player get the fun of exploring, but it might have been good to include some example combinations.
@MrDave Currently it is best to only select one type of animal. We had plans to include more types and have some combinations with those give more points but we didn't have the time for more content.
Thanks for playing and rating everyone, we will publish a downloadable .apk on our website www.funklift.com as soon as our pr-guy gets around to writing a better description.
Now, while you didn't make your own sounds, you showed really good sound direction. You picked good music and sounds, and really built the game around that musical choice. The game ramps up at just about the time the music builds up as well, leveling up for a more frantic feel. Without that song, I don't know if I would have given the game as much thought, but with it I really enjoyed what you built.
Took me ages to work out the mechanic was click and drag. I sat there clicking for quite a while before I selected multiple animals by mistake.
Does seem like you get a better score for matching animals of the same type to just matching everything at random. Annoyed me when I spent ages setting up a big chain of one type only for the screen to suddenly swap to a bigger view and re-randomize everything. Although the idea of the zoom does fit the theme and music.
The art is good and the music perfectly suits the game.
Good job!
I know you didn't make it and everything, but I must say, it really goes well with this game. And tying the timer to the song [especially since it's such a recognizeable song], gave me a clear goal which was nice.
as for the game itself, it's gory, humorous, and all around a pretty simple, but yet still fun, game. Nice job :)
