SWOOP/POOP by Foofanoo42

[raw]
made by Foofanoo42 for LD34 (COMPO)
Control a pigeon and dive-bomb to defecate on a sheltered statue. Using the 'two button controls' theme.

I had only about 10 hours this weekend, so this is it. Used HTML5 with collie.js, GIMP for drawings. It should work fine in new browsers.

Note: I made BFXR sound that I loved....but couldn't get the game working on hosting that allowed sound. Damn.

Source is the one js file in the html source.

Came for the title, stayed for the swooping and pooping, rated for the glory of Pidgeon Poopenheimer

Playing this reminds me of trying to throw grenades while parachuting in Just Cause 3. I did get some weird graphical glitching with pellets hanging in the air and the background flickering back and forth between the texture and solid blue but it works and is playable with only two buttons. Is there a tactical reason to swoop? It just seems like it makes the trajectory harder and doesn't really help any.

Took me a little while to figure out that the platform the statue was holding was not the target.

God, yet another game about swooping and pooping.


Just kidding. Swoop/Poop was a first for me. The title is very honest, for I did swoop and I did poop. At one point the statue I was pooping on stopped counting my poops, but that's okay. I'm not in it for the money, I'm in it for the joy of the swoop.

I came, I swooped, I pooped. A rather simple game, but simple isn't bad~

The title says it all. What has that bird been eating anyway? Fun little game.

Nice little pooping game. Was a bit unclear how to dive, but overall a lot of fun.

Would be better if my poop was affected by gravity, but this is great. :P

Haha, hilarious!
My only gripe with this game is that the position/direction of the bird seems a bit flaky at times.
The swooping mechanic was quite nice though!

Good fun, I found that rapid fire pooping increased my hit rate massively - i would suggest making poop a limited resource, and provide some way to get more such as stealing it from pedestrians - this way, it would have potential as a mobile game.

Got 2 hits, sound effects would really liven up this game.

Descriptive title :D

Maybe a bit more response for a proper hit would be nice. Otherwise, nice pooping action!

It's a shame you didn't have more time to work this but the concept was pretty amusing.

Super fun! I always enjoyed doing the bombing runs in games like U.N. Squadron and Sopwith, but this was even more amusing because of the funny theme and the well designed controls.
