Grind'em'ard! by nonetheless

[raw]
made by nonetheless for LD33 (COMPO)
Hello again :)

So you are a little sociopathic monster and you like watching people suffer. So you've hidden behind the bush and throw metal rods at bikers. Not all of them, depending on who you choose you shouldn't aim at your friends, it will decrease the score.

50 points is considered winning as the quote texts at the top end then.

You have to refresh to play again, bug I cannot fix :|

Gameplay is pretty simple, you need to click or press space at the right moment to throw a metal rod at front wheel of bikers to make them suffer. Ohh yeah.

Great art style, unique interpretation of the theme. At first it was hard to tell where the rod was going to hit, and the ability to aim would have been nice since both hipsters and greasers often passed by at the same time.

I love the graphics. The aiming is pretty hard though.

It would have been more fun if I had the ability to aim :p

Really great artwork. It felt very professional.
The music was a little jarring, but kind of cool.
I enjoyed the amusing flavour text.

As others have mentioned, the aiming is pretty hard. Often my targets would cross too fast for me to realistically hit them, and misses were frequent. I'm impressed you got to 50!

Nice work!

I did with more time than a minute ;) Probably I should have made it easier ....

Awesome art! A very fun and well made game. Nice work!
Nevertheless, it's difficult to know exactly where the hitbox are and it can be frustrating.

The art is awesome. I also had trouble figuring out where to rod was going to hit (aiming is difficult)

Great graphics, love it.
The metal rods thrower really is a monster!
Really hard to aim

cute, simple, and enjoyable. Has the makings of an addictive pick-up-and-play mobile game. My only complaint is that it can be a little tough to judge the path your projectile will follow in this perspective. A line drawn along the ground might really help make it clearer when you should be throwing rods at the bikers.

A very fun and well made game. However, I don't know exactly where the hitbox are. I should play again :)

Not sure how accurate the shooting was - results seemed a bit random. Graphics were great though!
