Nature Beat by Retroid

made by Retroid for LD25 (COMPO)

You play as the most dastardly villain known to man, Boris. His mission, smash as many animals at he can at his local park in one minute. His weapon of choice, a hammer.

The web build might have performance issues on some computers so I would recommend playing on the desktop version for best performance.

CONTROLS
Move - Arrow Keys
Smash Hammer - Z Button

I like how you can pretty much herd all the animals into a corner and beat them as they try to escape ;-)

Could have been improved with more sound effects, music, and more exaggerated hammer animation. Perhaps he could have lifted it over his head.

Too bad, the IA is really a bitch ! Who's the villain in that game, player or IA ? :D

The park clearly has an infestation. Boris is just doing some necessary wildlife management.

Quite good fun, would be nice to see splatters or other feedback when you kill an animal though.

Haha, this game amuses me. Felt like I needed to play some heavy metal music in the background.

Fun little game, could've used sound effects and some visuals when you kill something (like spatters of blood).

The game is nice, and it's always fun to smash things. But having some kind of lose condition (besides the timer) would improve it, I think.

The shake when you hit is somewhat nausea-inducing, and a bit of feedback to tell that you killed something would go a long way.
