I really enjoyed it, but I got pretty mad at the end when the game tells you that you can only get the low-shot achievements by not using a restart. The medals definitely didn't say that on the main page, so I just wasted a few minutes doing a run with exactly 25 shots with restarts.

Oh, sorry, you're right! for me (well - I developed it) it was clear that you aren't allowed to restart - never thought that the medals descriptions doesn't make it clear! Sorry the game "ticked" you :(

This is a neat game, and definitely amps the creativity / difficulty / variety of the common avoider way up.
My biggest issue that's easily fixed would be the lack of music and sound effects. That would really round this game out.

The gameplay was incredibly redundant and partially broken. I scored about 440 points before my character died of boredom.

You've done a great job with this, but I find the control scheme a little "meh". If there were a way to change the default controls, I'd find this much more playable.

Very relaxing, stress-free RTS. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
My only issue is that I saved, closed the game, and restarted it only to find that the Mote I get for doing so freezes my game when I collect it. Which is annoying cos I just spent an hour on it. Any fixes? I haven't done the wedding yet.
Also-- the bikini dance was slightly creepy.

I really, really hate the control scheme. I wish jump was mapped to the Up key.
The game's interesting I guess, I just can't get into it as it is.

Dirt mud raw sewage nuclear waste windows unwashed for thirty years cobwebs old people hobos dust piles of decomposing turds roadkill mold mildew fungus bacteria rotten meat slime sixty-five year old prostitute that has never showered and douches with piss.
Do I win?
Also-- neat animation idea. You have very good stubs that would probably make great full animations if you worked them out to a fuller idea.

I enjoyed Gray a lot. I think your point was well-made.
My biggest complaint is that the ending isn't necessarily intuitive. If I hadn't seen a review talking about turning gray I wouldn't have kept switching until something new happened. I really think adding some kind of indication ingame that there is a third state you will eventually reach would be helpful, because I almost quit after oscillating black to and white and back, thinking it was an endless loop.

yea, i hear ya, but I think that would spoil it. Not knowing is part of the neccessary tension. It can be frustrating though...
thanks for playing and being patient!

I'm so sorry I never watched this. That was spectacular. And disgusting.

What I love about a lot of those shorts is that you guys have real talent as all-around animators, you just choose to do sticks as a stylistic choice. So much of the tank art and motion was really well done-- it impressed me, even with the overall length being far too short.
This was a great little exhibition; I hope you guys'll make more big stuff in the future.
