Meet Hangri and Fling Fling.

.

They're usually too busy snacking on bamboo to think about the future. But panda numbers are dwindling. They need to be more productive. Reproductive, that is.

.

Each panda has basic needs, like food and shelter, that must be met. Keep an eye on each panda's desires, spawn items to help, and try to get everything exactly, perfectly right.

Maybe, just maybe, these finicky fornicators will finally get around to perpetuating the species!

Now this was funny. Great use of the theme as well. The controls were a bit wonky but the game was overall fun. Nice job!

Hahaha, well the objective is interesting. And the gameplay is weird but still satisfying :sweat_smile:

Funny concept, loved the art style. Figuring out how to move things in 3D perspective on the 2D screen was a tough but also kind of funny when you launched bamboo and wine (and on occasion pandas) into outer-space. At least everything always came back.

Amazing honestly. Very unique and a ton of fun. I think I had more fun just throwing everything around than actually playing the game. Sound and models were also great. Loved it so much!

Very interesting concept. I really like the art and the input method was well executed. Nice work also on the music and sound design. I found the clicking and dragging a little bit frustrating to get working, but once I got used to it things started to fall into place.

Very neat, relaxing game that I would be super interested in buying if it becomes a full featured game.

Very good work.

Very funny, graphics were cool and low poly. Definitely really good.

Loved the music. Idea was really funny and matched the theme. My only complaint was the rain made it hard to see what was going on.

Really unique idea that suffices the idea very well.

Verrrrry nice game. Just a very well executed idea.

As frustrated as I'd imagine trying to breed pandas in real life is, haha! Great game, and I really liked the atmosphere :)

Gotta make those pandas drunk! Cool game, very soothing ambience

Didn't really get what I had to do but I had a lot of fun flicking around the food and the pandas, though I somehow lost them and had no way of restarting (from what I've seen). Cool concept though.

Very funny in general but I think the rain makes it harder to see. Maybe you should put a way to recognize which panda is which.

What a hilarious game! It was pretty hard to actually move things around as I wanted, but I suppose that's all part of the challenge.

Very fun game! A bit too short unfortunately, I would have loved to play it more

Couldnt understand what the pandas wanted at first but it was fun chucking stuff around. Great game! The music fits nicely with the environment

Good use of artwork and music to create an atmosphere. The rain looked good too. Not sure about being able to infinitely spawn items, maybe have a limit and remove the oldest ones. Also couldn't tell which panda was which. A cool idea well executed.

i ended up being very invested in panda coitus, unfortunately hangri wasn't in the mood and made things very akward for fling fling. the physics were hilarious, music was spot on and panda wine was unexpected, but very relevant <3

I really tried to get them to smash but I kept throwing them around the map by accident haha. That was fun!

Art and mood are fantastic, well done! Love the ending as well :D

I did it. I saved the species.

I have no idea what all those zoos have been complaining about for decades. I just pegged them right in the head with a few bottles of wine and it put them right in the mood. Easy.

F*** yeah!

Loved how the pandas were really sluggish to drag around

I was close, but then one of them did a frowny face and wandered off. Love the art style, the painterly effect on the 3d, and the bouncy Pandas!
