Baba Yaga by Azlen
=~= Description =~=
Before these newfangled flying broomsticks became mainstream, witches were forced to experiment. In this game, you play as Baba Yaga flying around in her mortar and pestle collecting children in the forest.
=~= Goal =~=
- Collect children as many children as you can
- Keep mortar and pestle upright
=!= Controls =!=
UP/W: Move Up
LEFT/A: Rotate Left
RIGHT/D: Rotate Right
The mortar and pestle accelerates forward and back depending on its current angle.

@Capt Nemo: I have had troubles with Firefox as well (unresponsive script). It usually works eventually if I let the script continue.
I though children will explode when big thing hit him.
anyway, i enjoy play it, but honestly imo the rotate control is not needed at all, i use only "up" the entire game
very solid entry indeed :D
I really dig the title screen, though.
Windows 10 html5 using Firefox Broswer :/
Nice visuals!
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.
The artwork is nice, but the controls are very difficult! I think it might have been easier to play if up/down just controlled your speed, and left/right controlled your angle instead of tying the speed to the angle.
The graphics were great thought and the idea inst bad just could of used more balancing difficulty wise.
Also, I came here because the LD map said you were in Antarctica.
Well, anyway, the controls are pretty confusing and not very nice to use. It also takes a long time to load, so it looks like it's crashed. I miss some music too :/
(You might want to block people from going left, and have some indication of the direction they need to go. I accidentally went off the left side at one point, and was unable to correct for obvious reasons.)
I thought the parallax effect in the background was really well done. Gave a real sense of depth and speed. I'd like to see the foreground sprites done with that level of detail, and perhaps animated.
The parallax effect is also really cool.
The main problem is that it eats up a lot of memory, apparently, so I couldn't play it on Firefox and there was some lag on Chrome.
Aside from that, the one thing that I think would improve it is some matching sound effects.
