Walrus, Mole, Puncher by VikingWarriors

[raw]
made by VikingWarriors for LD29 (JAM)
It's the middle of the night and your Walrus is barking up a storm, your garden is rustling with moles, what's a Viking to do? Punch the moles to feed the Walrus, of course! As a Viking, you have a tight sleep schedule, try to feed Walrus with as many moles as possible in just 90 seconds. Made using CraftStudio Requires the Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914) for Windows or the Mono runtime (http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.10/macos-10-x86//MonoFramework-MRE-2.10.10.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg) for Mac. Linux version's meant to be run through wine (we think) with Mono.

I thought this game was hilarious, such an awesome concept for a little game, very funny too! I'd totally buy a version of this for Android if there were some achievements or something.

Ha. I didn't read the description very closely so it took me a moment to understand the goal. First I tried punching the walrus, and then I ran around for a minute just slamming the moles upwards. I was pretty content with that, but once I figured it out I definitely had a lot more fun. Very fun.

Wish I could change keymapping and invert the y-axis of the camera.

Cute and funny. I enjoyed juggling with the moles. The game is well made and the animations are nice. :)

Hah so awesome! I got myself a beer and some heavy metal and punched the sh*t out of those moles. Great game, really awesome. 5/5! :D

The link to the Linux-Version is the same as the one for the Mac-Version ... any instructions on how to run this on Linux?

Whoops. Yeah typo'd on the Linux link. Fixed now. We believe that you're meant to run it with wine, but we haven't been able to test it yet. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think this is a good effort, I just found it too difficult to control and hit the moles

Nice entry, was fun to slam some moles into the ground :)
Could have used some music.

@GreatBigJerk Thanks for pointing that out. We've tested and fixed the game on Macs. Try downloading it again.

Thanks, now it's working on Linux by typing mono MolePuncerLinux.exe into Terminal.

Very funny idea, but somehow it's really hard to hit the moles ...

The game was very good! Models were well done, and it was goofy enough to put a smile on my face. Congratulations for doing an awesome job on this one!
