About the Game

Knock around walruses, and knock around bukkits. Get the bukkits in the goal zone to score points. If walruses find the bukkits, you can't score with them anymore.

How to Play

Shift to change items. Space to throw current item; hold space for stronger throws. Arrows to aim. More instructions in title screen.

Notes on Compiling

Change to Box2D directory and 'make' in there first.

SpeedHack Rules

RADIUS: Circular pushers deflect objects from two corners of the screen depending on proximity.

FRICTION: Sticky mats may be fired. They slow down walruses with extra friction.

EVIL: You are depriving helpless walruses of their bukkits. They're gonna starve, man.

REVERSAL: Normally in games you actively kill things. In this game, you don't. (OK, the walruses are hungry, but nobody dies in the game.)

DIALOGUE: Nope. Act of Generosity.
