Nothing out of the ordinary but still was fun playing. I liked the comedy aspect. Well Done and I hope you will do this again. :D

Wow, this was certainly something.

I really liked the doodle-ish art style and sheer ridiculousness of the situation the game puts you in. But what I REALLY liked was the music.

Unfortunately, the musician's name in the credits is the only one that doesn't link :(

Overall good job. As with most rampage-ish games, it gets pretty hard to see things when things get hectic, but I never died (got close) and it wasn't all that bad.

I also really liked the little Kiwi egg thing, it really set it apart from what other Kiwi-based and Kaiju-sized games tend to do. That being said, the only other game I know in the genre is Kiwi 64, and that one was shooting for a bit of a different spin.

Good job!

It's an ok concept, but I did enjoy running over everything hah! Who doesn't like pooping on things?

I think i've mastered the art of the "Australian Tank-Throwing Reverse Poop Shot".

Taking what the internet says about the land down under, such specimen might be roaming the outbacks somewhere.

Really fun! It takes a while to get challenging and sometimes it's really hard to differentiate foreground from background, but I really like it!

Heh. I like the logic behind taking the least monstrous creature possible, and sending it on a rampage xD

Very good game and cool idea. Sounds and graphics are pretty fancy. Loved the controls, and shooting all those tanks around.

Great feel with the controls. I feel I would've liked the wall jump to go a bit higher though.

I enjoy this one more than I should have. The controls were a bit weird, but once I got used to them they were stupid fun.

Luckily I live far from New Zealand, I wouldn't like to experience the attack of a massive kiwi :D

Really cool game, I digged the humour and the graphics. Congrats!

The game was incredibly fun and funny. A destructive Kiwi is pure genius.

Pretty good! The skill needed to win the final boss battle wasn't necessary to learn until then, but besides that, good difficulty curve.

Really fun - lots of cool powerups and options. Having building climbing be so easy felt great. I didn't understand right away that having baby kiwi meant I could sent them to jump attack.

Everything felt right. It was so satisfying causing so much damage to the MS paint style city. The aesthetic was beautiful and consistent. As the game went on I kept on discovering new mechanics that filled me with glee. Discovering you can great mini kiwis was great, and then I realized you can launch them at helicopters. Being able to pierce the helicopters and shoot them at other helicopters was awesome. Great game!
