Mow Town by Dell

[raw]
made by Dell for LD33 (COMPO)
Welcome to Mow Town!

The aim is simply to mow down the pedestrians to increase your score and add precious time to the clock.

Controls: Use the cursor keys to (attempt) to control your flying mow machine.

There is no sound unfortunately (ran out of time), and as im sure is the case for a lot (all?) of us, a lot of other things had to be cut to get something finished in time!

Enjoy :)

the web version looks weird. like there is too much light in the scene. the controls feel a bit off as well.
other than that i think this is a really nice entry

Looks fun but the controls combined with the hard time limit make this game not really enjoyable.

Nice style, though the controls are a bit wonky :P

Nice art and challenging control scheme. Reminds me of Katamari.

LOL, this game is so strange. The flying machine is super hard to control (which I guess is the point), and I could never figure out the mechanics of it. Highest score I got was 50. Really wish there was some wacky music, but the graphics really do look nice. The title is AWESOME.

Nice graphics, but it feels like you are driving a frickin UFO on soap...! But nice work on the graphics!

Nice fun little game, loved the "voxel" art style. I loved the little models and buildings, very well done.

It's really hard to control him, but I liked the aesthetics.

Man the controls are super wonky and fun, need to be really careful with the speed to not just slide around uncontrollably. Nice looking game with a fun idea!

I love the style, but, I must confess, I got slightly sick playing this. The crazy controls make it fun. But I can't bring myself to play long enough to get good!

The voxel art looks great. I like how the giblets fly out and knock over other people, too.

The controls need work. I understand you're going for a floaty feel, but this goes a little too far. You can get away with a lot of directional momentum, but rotational momentum really gets in the way of feeling like you're playing the game. Asteroids, for example.

It would help to add more pedestrians, lower the camera angle, or add some radar or an arrow toward more people to murder. After the courtyard, it was sometimes hard to spot more victims to thrust toward.

Looks great, love the cub fountain. Very hard to control, but that's the point of the game so it works.
