I found the control system unusable and apparently random. Most of the time I was completely unable to fire and had no idea why. When I did manage to fire, I was almost never able to reorient my gun to shoot the barrel.

Because of the control issues, the barrels I managed to shoot were always in the wrong place and did far more harm than good. I never got past the first level, so I can't really comment on anything else.

A lot of potential but it really needed some polish to become more fun.

This game feels liek it has a lot of potential, but in its current version it get very frustratin to wait for next shot all the time. Maybe some indicator whouls have helped.

nice idea. It's a bit too difficult for me though.. even if I aim the barrel right I've still got to hit it with the missile thing which can be quite annoying

The game was pretty hard to understand at first. I really like the idea, though. Not much sound, and it seems to be OK.

Annoyingly steep learning curve

The only comment I have is that having either a projected arc for the cannisters prior to launching or increasing the speed of the missiles would greatly improve the game's balancing with relatively little effort.

What could make the game THIS slow? What kind of computations is happening in the background?
Too hard.

I feel it lacks more controllability

Great idea, but it drove me crazy that I could never tell when the next barrel was coming! I would click and click with nothing for 10 seconds, then all of the sudden, two or three barrels at once. I felt really great when I did line up a good shot, so I think your game mechanic could be a lot of fun if it wasn't so unpredictable!

Well, controls don't seem to react correctly (I can left or right click as many times as I want - sometimes it does shoot barrels/missiles, often not..).

Clay-pigeon style barrel shooting to move feathers mechanic was cool to play around with.

An interesting game mechanic! I did not particularly enjoy it (playing with a touchpad may have been a factor in that), and it is not well produced by any means, but I think it could be a prototype for a really nice game!

No music

A simple and clean game, but a bit hard to be played.

great idea, the timing of the bombs and feedback to the user as to when they can launch needs a little work but other that that nice work!

great game! I played this for a while until I got the hang of it.

Good idea, but the barrels reloaded far too slowly to make this fun.

Couldn't get the hang of it. Controls seem to be very unreliable.

I'm not sure if that's intended, but you can't shoot all the time. Since you don't get any clue whether you can shoot or not, I just clicked around.. and failed miserably. Maybe it would be better if you had some kind of energy or reloading-bar. ;-)

What a great idea! It's very hard though :) I did have to fix one bug though (a decorator on a
class)
