The Terrible Battle Between Men and Turtles by saulopz

[raw]
made by saulopz for LD28 (COMPO)
I wasn't with any idea about this game, and with just less than 24 hours I made this. This game was developed in Java with Android ADT and LibGDX. There is a Jar executable and it is a multi plataform game for Windows, Linux and MacOS. I hope you enjoy it...

The idea for the board game (reverse tug-of-war?) was really original, I liked it!

One thing that I would improve, is that the first screen of the game has too much text - you can probably get rid of most of it, or present in a more appealing manner.

Thanks for the game!

For how ridiculous as the AI is, it does a lot to give the game a very frantic feel. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the storyline setup, and the game itself is simple but fun.

Great idea. Turtles a bit too fast.

This is a fun kind of crazy. I feel like if the controls weren't quite so binary it might be more interesting. Nice work though.

:D This was some really good arcade frenzy ! I clicked on your game thumbnail because I was thinking I will play some kind of strategy game. And I was also thinking it after I read the game explanations. This was basic but fun as hell. Well done !

Very simple and original, I liked it. Though it was annoying I could push huge metal balls but not small turtles.

Quick and fun, though getting stopped by a turtle walking in your way was irritating. Either way it's a good job for something made in less than 24 hours!

Fun game, well done. (And finally! someone has chronicled the terrible battle between men and turtles! ;)) great work - especially for under 24 hours!

Nice game. Controls are difficult sometimes and could be balanced with a little more time perhaps.
Well done anyway!
