Stroppy swan wants ALL the food! Simply click to swoosh to a new location, eating food along the way, whilst dodging the other swans. Getting combos in one movement will score bonus points.
Thanks for playing, I really enjoyed making it. I'll write a short post-mortem, check the journal entries.

this is so insanely cool. good job. you manage to make a really fun experience with good graphics. even the audio is fun
Haha, loving it.
Very slick look, very responsive and i really like the fact you added combo-functionality.
My best score is 370.
Nice, I think the resolution is a little low, It mostly works but sometimes you can mistake a Beak for a bit of food.
Would make a good Phone/Tablet Game.
Really liked it! Great visuals, unusual style and gameplay! But it's tough as nails.. I was so bad at this..
Hahaha. Good game. At first i thought it was easy, but i enjoyed how hard it is after a while if you try to make combos :D
Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated :)
@Mincemeat Yeah, having the other birds also eat food was the very last thing on my list, but its kind of funny to line up a combo then lose it :D
@Lerc - agreed, the art got so low res that it can be confusing, esp similar colors.
This is actually pretty fun! Love the polish and the aesthetics, as well as the overall "feel" of the game. However I feel it's not very inclined towards the theme?
@madhoe - agreed, I could have items/creatures breaking thru the surface or something.
440 was my best. Took a little while to get used to the swan-control but it was surprisingly fun once I figured it out.
I would guess if something be added it would be soundtrack and giving the foods graphics a bit more love, water surface rippling effects so food doesn't simply appear out of nowhere, some shakes and the general stuff to spice it up even some more.
There's nothing like an on-line leader board either to get peoples attention.
Sawns are dicks! Good game. Perfectly modelled swan behaviour.
I don't think you can get pixely swans to look any better than this :p
Great game, got little addicted to it. Good pixelart and the sounds fits the game perfectly.
Really enjoyed your game. Kinda funny and balanced. The idea of combos is also pretty cool. Good job :)
I really like those graphics, and the sound effects too. Good gameplay.
it has a very nice graphics+audio style...retro yet with particles and stuff - nice.
I really liked how you made the swans, and the sound they make. It's fun and simple.
I released it iOS and Android, for those who can't get enough stroppiness. Its basically the same game, but with added medals and game center. Byeee!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
For some reason i found this game to be hilarious and im not really sure why haha. Pretty fun, those other swans are jerks, taking all my hard earned food D:
