I found the controls a little floaty perhaps, could tighten that up.
Just think the controls are lazy. You try to move, and it take some time to respond, but overall, nice entry!
No complaints at all:
Nice Graphics
Nice Music
Nice Gameplay
Right on the Theme
Not my kind of humor, at all.
The game is surprisingly strategic and challenging with the wolves actively avoiding poop and eating and pooping taking time and requiring you to stand still - providing a contrast with the running away you're inclined to do while being chased by enemies.
However, I do feel the game is lacking in feedback on critical elements. You cannot see your pooping progress, eating progress or poop cooldown, which adds to the difficulty in only a frustrating (rather than challenging way) - it's annoying to see a 'not ready yet' message while having no way whatsoever to tell when I AM ready to poop. You also can't see how much HP you have left, which makes the game over come unexpectedly (and might cause frustration/discourage the player from trying again).
The graphics are unremarkable. The map looks the same everywhere and sprites lack animation when you'd expect them to have some kind of animation. At least the gameplay elements (pig, wolf, apple, poop) are recognizable.
Music felt boring and went out of sync. Sounds gave proper feedback, but were too subtle with the exception of the eating sound which felt grating (the contrast in noticeablity with the other sounds may have made this feel worse).
The theme was properly implemented, but not in any (in my opinion) interesting way; 'poop' as a weapon is just random and its use to scare off (kill? Not sure what it does exactly) wolves is nonsensical.
