Fyi. I tried a few times to get the throw to work... tried left and right ctrl and tried moving to the plant... Couldn't get past the first stage. However if the game is you just lose right away, that is equally funny. lol

Hi guys, cool music, however when I lose the lost music overlaps with the main theme.

Heads up guys (excuse the pun), to kill a prince you got to jump on his head.

I had a few crashes/glitches. On the first lvl when i jumped on the princes head it killed me at the same time and just ment i couldn't move, but throw infinite prince heads. Think you need to do some refining, but here could be a fun game in here.

Got stuck two times, sadly, because it looks very promising. First time I got stuck on the right pillar just after killing the prince. Second time I threw the head, but no clue what to do next. A restart button would've been nice, but it might be that I overlooked something.

The game is really buggy. I can't get past the second level.

Music and graphics are very cool :D I have one issue, how do you enter to the exit door? I can't pass the first stage :/

Fun game once I read some comments about how to get the throw controls to work. The music was also awesome!

Sorry for all the bugs, I think sleep deprivation didn't help me work at all as coder. Thanks goodness, the art team was doing great.

I just fixed a major bug that made the exit door to stop working after you died once. That should help a lot.

I'll be woking this weekend to fix all major stuff :P

Game seems to crash if you die once, restart then die again and the game canvas could be a lot bigger but I like the rather hilarious concept of stomping heads off and feeding them to the plant.

Really fun concept of jumping on the princes, feeding their heads to the plant and growing a ladder! It kept crashing though - on my best try, I got as far as the second level before a crash took me out. Maybe release a desktop version - would help to eliminate any glitches on the part of Unity's glitchy new WebGL.

What I could play before it crashed was pretty fun. I wish I could play more.

Good news everyone! I had some time and I could fix the biggest problem. You should be able to complete the 4 levels available.

Thanks for your patience guys ;P

Buggy as hell.
Head is difficult to throw and it disappears after the throw, so no retries without restarting the game.
Head doesn't get eaten by the plant, so you never know whether it caught the head or not.

Other than that, great humor, blend of graphics, music, sounds and gameplay could be oh so fun, if you only had some more time!
Good, if not extremely stable, entry!

Nice entry! A bit buggy and it took me some time to get how it works, but I had a nice time after that!
Congratulations!

Quite buggy, an ability to restart the level would be nice when it becomes impossible, art and music work really well!

Well made, I think you can expand on the concept.
