It's a nice game!

Great idea for a solo-game. I think that the animal hit-box could be bigger, because sometimes looks like you have hitting close to the animal but nothing happens. At firts I reserved my rocks, but in the end I found that it was better if you throw all to them quickly xD

It was funny, my best time was 1:29 :)

I like the music and the setting very much. Somehow the rocks often did not scare the animals away, even if i hit them.

@wizart @darksaytan Thanks for the feedback! I totally know what you mean about the hitboxes seeming too small. They were working perfectly in Unreal Engine and then when I packaged the game, the hitboxes seem to be tiny. I had no idea to how to fix it before the deadline so I had to leave it slightly broken unfortunately.

Thanks again for the comments! :)

Like others mentioned, I also had trouble hitting the animals and felt the egg died a bit too quickly.
Graphics look nice, I like this style. Good job!

The music was really nice. You could add more choice and decisions by making it so that if you hold left click for some time, the rock will fly faster.

Very nice game. I liked the music a lot, the graphics was good as well. I believe the hit-box could be bigger.

Great game. At first it was really hard to hit the animals, but then I got used to it. It also head a nice mood and graphics!

Damned bears! These things are tanks. Nice game man. I liked the music and the setting of the game. It would be nice to have a sound effect along with the visual feedback when rocks hit the ground. It was nice that there was a tutorial page as well.

Itch link is giving error. Perhaps the game was removed? However the game is fun and looks amazing. Great entry, very innovative.

A nice, simple game. The throwing mechanic required some aiming ahead, which I like.
It was really hard to tell if a rock actually hit though, some hit feedback would've helped a lot.
The game looks really pleasant and I also like the happy tunes playing :)
Good job overall!

Thanks for letting me know, I haven't used Itch.io so forgive my mistake. I think the link should be working now.

@erkberg Thanks a lot for the feedback! I had hit feedback implemented in the form of animal noises, but decided to take them out as the audio wasn't my own. Thanks again :)

The game idea is simple and fun. The graphics and the music is okay. Hitting the animals is really difficult. Overall is this an okay jam game.
