[raw]
made by TackoramaLtd for LD33 (JAM)
Her impressive elegant queenage, Frogmella Imanokcuf, hereby grants clemency most extraordinaire to all monsters of the realm upon successful execution of all fairies in thy precious kingdom within two minutes.

PS Beware of the sugar plum fairy.

---------------------------------
Controls
---------------------------------
Click mouse. That's it.
m disables music in-game (it can get annoying).

---------------------------------
Bugs
---------------------------------
Issue: When going to the options screen in windowed mode the game automatically resizes to the large possible window your display will allow.
Solution: set options once and leave them alone after that.

---------------------------------
Notes
---------------------------------
Game defaults to windowed display of 1280 x 720 - change in options screen.

All versions are 32 and 64 bit compatiable
(Tested on Mac and Windows. Linux - sorry - you are the guinea pigs.)
PC users download either 32 or 64 bit version.
Mac and Linux - the file is universal (32 and 64 bit compatible).

I've opted out of graphics judging because:
1) The paper scrolls on the title are clip art (stop looking at me like that).
2) The fairies are based on a free font.

Everything else is original and created within the 72 hours, by one man and his Apple Mac.

Enjoy killing the fairies.

Nice polish overall! fairies had a bit simple movement and the last 6 fairies where outside of the screen so I couldn't kill them :(

Hi. I was trying to play this with a macbook pro track pad, it was impossible to kill all of them in 2 minutes :) Have a look at this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlBR1z-ue-I] not that my game is a good example, but it feels like your game needs some differences somewhere. Nice menu, wish I actually spent time making one. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for letting us play your game!

What we liked: The sound of squashing Fairies, it makes me feel good! That you had a version people could play on windows/mac and Linux.

What I would like to see developed: I know you opted out of the graphics category, but the mix of art does some disservice to the frantic Fairy squashing. Perhaps something to work on?

Well done!

I had the same problem with the fairies being outside of the screen, it'd also be cool if there were a countdown timer.

What do the giggling fairies do? They had some visual impact but I couldn't tell what impact they had on the other fairies.

This game is made to relief stress. Or grow anger. I still can't decide ! ;)

TooMuchPete - the faires are meant to be outside - it's not meant to be that easy! And there is a count up timer (game ends after two minutes) as I thought it would be nice to see how long it took instead of panicking as time ran out. Giggling fairy signals that the sugar plum fairy is on screen!

Culturebosh_games - point well taken about the graphics. It's not a cohesive style which given time I would alter. I would love to keep the photos as backgrounds (real places, photoed by me) but cannot think of a way to blends those with drawn/modelled fairies.

Simple Gameplay but beautiful graphics and sound/music.

Not my type of game. Seems to be unsolvable since there are still 15 Faries left when nothing can be seen on the screen.

So i got down to 1 fairy left. I figured you kill the fairies on the outside first before they spread out so far that they are off screen. It would be nice to at least have a chance if you miss the fairies on the outer circle before they spread too far. Maybe have them cross the screen real fast? I had 15 seconds left and didn't see a single fairy. Even with that being said. I LOVE this game! I would definitely play it over and over again.

Your game is well made but I do not like killing...

Linux build works fine, but fullscreen mode didn't work and 15 of the fairies wouldn't come on screen

The menu was awesome, didn't even need to press apply for the options. The game was much less polished, with fairies stuck out of screen, and difficulty understanding the main idea behind the game. I think you may have spent too much time on the menu, and too little on the gameplay.

Very well polished with a simple idea that is well executed. The only thing that really bothered me was the ability for a fairy to leave the screen and never come back. My first game I went for center-of-fairy-mass, and ended up with 6 fairies off the screen and 90 seconds left. The clicking to hit felt a little off because I couldn't click in the same place a bunch of times, so I had to fling my mouse all over the screen to be doing something all of the time.

This is the most epic game I played until now...
I can not stop laughing!

Gorgeous audio+humor+mood+FUN, right on the theme! :D

The gameplay is really poor ... But I think I'll keep this game for all my moments of intense relaxation, playing hours! haha!

Very well done game. I liked the pretty backgrounds, and the plum fairies added some really nice twist to the gameplay. The only problem I had was that some of the fairies would go off the screen completely trumping my chances of beating the game. Other than that, though, this was a really fun game. 4/5 :)

Good job! But fairies used to go outside of screen area, so I could not finish the game :s

I too had fairies that were off screen... :/ I _really_ wanted to kill them all. I like the juxtaposition of cute fairies and music and the blood splats!

I like the background story on the menu.

Nice graphics. I personally think that the amount of fairies to kill and the time to do that was both a bit much. For the simplicity of the gameplay I think a shorter time and less faries would have resulted in a better pacing. But nice entry.

Was really fun to kill fairies :)
I would change the pacing a bit, as in the beginning, it is a pure clickfest (which is really fun, as fairies are dying every click :) ) and later on it's pretty frutstrating, as they are on screen for a too short period of time. I preffered the fairy-massacre part in the beginning :)

Best UI EVER!!! I couldn't kill all the fairies or it seems like so...

Charming game! Nice music and good gameplay. Looked nice too.
Some fairies went off screen I could not kill them (like 9) I guess you have to kill them before they go away? It was not that clear.
The main menu was great. Very polished.
