Hi,

i`m working on a loopin`louie like game called ripoff birds.

Please test it and tell me what you think. The story: you have to defend the ripoff birds! They are hunted because they stole the gameplay of other games.

Having never played "Loopin' Louie" I wasn't sure what the point of it was. You said to "protect the ripoff birds" but it seemed like I was protecting them from...other ripoff birds?

In any case, it seemed incredibly easy (or it just takes far too long for the difficulty to ramp up). For a while, I wasn't even sure if it was possible to lose. At one point, I was curious how long it would take so I stopped doing anything. I gave up waiting to lose because the birds got hit so rarely that it was going to take forever.

I don't see the point of giving each bird multiple "lives". It's already very easy to last a long time without any of them getting hit. I think a total of four lives is reasonable.

Anyway, the game works fine, looks decent and I didn't mind the music (although I imagine it would get very, very repetitive if I played until I lost).

Thanks for your reply! You lose when the first bird lost all of his lives. At first all birds had only one live. But then its really easy when there is only one bird left because you always know where the birds attack next. Thats why i included the eggs so you always have to watch all birds.
I will try to make it more difficult.

Ah, I see. In that case, I think the game needs to say that somewhere (that the first bird to lose all its lives is all that matters).

As for the difficulty, it may just be a matter of increasing the speed more quickly.
