Sling Defense

Share Collapse

Author Comments

Fight animals as they fall from the sky. You have four cabins to defense with your slingshot. If you let the cabins get hit too often, it's game over. When you finish a wave, your cabin will heal. Be sure to keep playing for bonus skins and most of all, new weapons to shoot from your slingshot!

Use the mouse to control the slingshot (click and drag anywhere on the screen).
Press "P" to pause, and again to unpause.
When you unlock a new fruit, press "Z" to switch.
Press "X" to detonate the last two fruits that are unlocked.

oh 5 stars man good game

Heh
- Nice graphics
- Quite pacifist : no monsters... only little cute turtles and rats :D
- The music is nice, quite unfitting i d say but.. well keep it :D

Well indeed it gets boring after a while, but its not an easy thing to change
Either you put an end to the game after like wave 20
Or you nearly double the content : you add different enemies that i dunno like together, not just fall down.. maybe you add upgrades with another sting IA controlled that shoot other fruits :D

Also, with such music, I imagine something more white, more loungy, more round. Take a look at other games that work with bacteria eating others and growing. Its quite white and loungy also, but the mix loungy atmosphere and loungy (jazzy so) has a better integration than in your game. Maybe take some graphic effects from their games..

Ah yeah something to fix :
Since the sling is close to the bottom of the screen , often i misclick outside the flash window. Then game becomes paused. Maybe add more depth in the bottom to avoid that.

Hope it helps ! :D Contact me for ideas if you want ! GL

this game gets boring after couple of seconds.

Thanks- so if there are faster enemies at first it will be more exciting?

I didn't think much of this game until I found that when I play again it's NOT from the beginning. It's quite a cute diversion :) But I see two main drawbacks:
1. Instructions aren't too clear. When I unlocked a new weapon, I was defeated very quickly b/c the game didn't mention pressing X to detonate, only the Author Comments - which also refer to "the last two fruits" while omitting how many fruits there are overall...
2. The game becomes difficult to control and buggy during the later waves, when I shoot quickly. It gets confused if I shoot before the next fruit appears in the sling, if I shoot before detonating the previous fruit, and it becomes worse when switching weapons.

Fix these and the game would be really good. Throw in purchasable upgrades - e.g. recharge rate, healing rate, detonate-on-hit, maybe something to deal with these pesky turtles - and achievements, and Sling Defense 2 should then be a hit! :)

A bit boring at first, but fun and strangely addicting after a while. Good job!
