Spaßiges Spiel. Und das trotz Freibier. Nicht schlecht. :)

Nice job! Worked perfectly in chrome.

emveyh 2012-04-24 17:03

thanks for the comments guys, really appreciated :) so now is should try to break your scores? ;)

emveyh 2012-04-24 17:35

Damn you Spielmeisters! Can't beat you at my own game, now I know why you have that name :D So guys, it's your turn. Who's going to be the very best, like no one ever was? ;)

Had fun, and liked the design of the monster. The music fits the frantic gameplay.

adventureislands 2012-04-24 18:42

Cool game, simple but great graphics and the frantic music pumps up the panic mood. it's pretty simple though and not really challenging because you only burn buildings, but it's really nice game build from scratch.

emveyh 2012-04-24 19:06

Thanks for playing :) Yeah, i would have loved to implement more cool things like power ups and actual enemys but since i had to travel home by train + work at the next day i couldn't use all of that 48 hours. But you're right, it's not that challening ... till you try to break that 160k score :D anyways, thanks for playing! :)

Not quite sure what this had to do with the theme, but the game is pretty awesome. If there was one feature that I could reccomend for you to add, it would be somehting to dodge/avoid, possibly with pickups. This is the most fun I've had playing a game all LD though. 4/5

High score: 33257

I couldn't find the theme in a high role in this game, but the laid-back attitude and devastation made for it slightly. A small and fun game in it's simplest form, but I would've wanted some challenge from it aside from beating other's highscores :P

Wow, I didn't think I'd be able to fulfill my life-long dream of being Cthulhu destroying a city, although in my dreams it lasts longer than 70 seconds ;) great job! Better than a stress ball.

pabloam 2012-04-25 14:43

Nice game, maybe a bit repetive. But I love the 8 bit style!

jimmypaulin 2012-04-25 16:50

Great pixel art, loved the creature design and decent sfx too, nice one! I'd be interested to see some other "threats" of some kind in addition to the timer?

edbadiux 2012-04-25 18:42

Simple yet fun and addictive. Nice work ;)

humblesound 2012-04-26 06:30

Great style, love the simplicity and the learning curve to go from slowly plodding along burning a building or two to cruising around frantically demolishing everything.

orni 2012-04-26 06:33

funny little game - love the art
some running around little people to stomp on would make it even better :)

kendja 2012-04-28 07:47

Nice game.

Also, I'm running around the city and spamming the fire key very fast - the game freezes with the browser.

gnx 2012-04-29 21:31

Not bad. I like the graphics a lot.
The gameplay is very simplistic and you don't really get a sense of skill or strategy mattering much.

The sound is functional and the so is the music, but nothing too special.

But I'd definitely continue working with the nice graphics and concept!

rybar 2012-05-01 01:43

Great fun! Awesome effort starting from nothing. Would love to see some kind of opposing force besides the clock. The graphics are great, gameplay very satisfying. 4 stars overall

datamosh 2012-05-01 16:58

Pixelart Chtulhu is always a win.

Really funny game! I'dont know if it was only on my PC (using latest Opera browser), but when I charged the attack, just before releasing it, it would freeze 1 second or 2. This happened randomly.

azurenimbus 2012-05-03 02:26

I enjoyed the graphics and feel of the game. It's pretty cool, but I couldn't enjoy it as much because for some reason I also had performance issues. It would freeze when I breathed fire.

mrbarnslig 2012-05-03 05:29

Music was perfect for the theme. Wish there was a little more to do, but it felt really satisfying to burn the buildings for some reason. Good job!

domrein 2012-05-03 21:05

I really like this game. Movement is nice and quick and the power meter for your flame breath adds a bit of strategy to it all. Good job.

summaky 2012-05-04 08:29

I really don't see the theme in there, but was interesting. I just suck as making combos, but has fun nonetheless.

rabbits 2012-05-09 21:58

I loved the lizard type thing and movement of him...I froze a few times though...

matthias_zarzecki 2012-05-09 23:02

Fun litttle Cthulu-simulator!

kevinworkman 2012-05-09 23:10

This was really fun, especially for how simple it was. Great work. The countdown and high score thing really upped the replay value. With some more variety (like enemies or powerups or a way to extend your time), this could be a really addicting little game.

matt 2012-05-10 00:21

Some giant monsters just want to watch the world burn.

jonathang 2012-05-12 07:50

I got 110,094 with a combo of 120 ;) The combo goes away really quickly, so although you can charge up the fire attack to go further, it's not really worth it. Also it might be better if you start the game in the middle of the city rather than on a corner. Could do with a bit more polish, but it's fun to play!
