Fantastic! I can't believe you made this in only 48 hours, great job! I love the graphics and how you integrated the score on the chalkboard. I had a little bit of trouble with the controls but overall great game! Also I love Kids in the Hall also.

Squishing them is so satisfying! And the art direction is awesome as well.

This is fun. Reminds me of a comedy sketch from the show "Kids in the Hall" Its an old show. They had a reoccurring character that imagined crushing peoples heads like that from afar. The blur effect is really neat.

Nice entry!
It was really hard to squish the aliens sometimes, mostly when they got closer to you. Because of that I got frustrated and quit.

Well done! And anything that references Kids in the Hall is OK with me.

Hey Ted nice job! I knew I wouldn't be the only one to think of this take on the theme :) I loved the screen shake while accumulating pressure on the head, that adds a lot. Graphics are awesome! The blur on the fingers looks good and makes sense. +++ Way to go!

You never cease to amaze me with your aptitude for pounding out amazing products. Everyone should def play this on a big screen, it's the next Call of Duty, except better.

Dang, another fantastic game! You nailed everything about this, from the blackboard scorekeeping to the doodles to the perspective of the whole thing to the gameplay. Pretty damn awesome!

Great job Ted! I'm very impressed with how much you were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time, especially with it being in 3D too. I really enjoyed watching your game come together. It's a lot of fun popping their heads off. Just wish I could pop as many as mandolin though.
