It's a good game

gamexcore 2012-12-17 11:34

Ace! It needed more hints and flags though!

Good job Mava :) Gets a bit mental by level 9, would be nice to be able to move your head and cursor independently so you could dodge and shoot at the same time. Great fun though!

I really enjoyed that. You have a good amount of variety in it and the pacing is nice (just as I thought I'd give up, you added something new). Would be nice if you could damage the buildings and a secondary attack would be really nice.

Great job! I loved the dragon, gameplay was fun, and I'm downloading the source to check out how you got that dialog to work :) If you spent more time on this, I would have loved a more destructible level!

mava 2012-12-17 21:56

Thanks for the comments :) once I had the gameplay sorted the possibilities were endless! I really wanted powerups and a tank too, maybe next time!

I really like the progression of getting taller as you leveled up

Really really liking the presentation and aesthetic of this game! The graphics style is really rad, and the simple but yet challenging and fun gameplay makes it really enjoyable to play.

Very nice! Loved the level ups making the neck grow. My one request is an auto attack with mouse-down so I don't break my mouse button/finger! Had fun playing, got to level 19

I really enjoyed the game, very good =)
Congratulation!

I really like this kind of Button mashing gameplay. It's good to have a break from all this jump & runners :).

tomvert 2012-12-17 22:42

I loved the retro/arcade feeling, the sound, the movement of the beast.

jaj 2012-12-17 22:59

This has a really great feel to it. It really does feel like a mix between a retro arcade hall game and a godzilla type movie. Very nice!

mokujin 2012-12-17 23:06

So calm music at background, when gigant worm destroying city and killing everyone) I like it)

biped 2012-12-17 23:28

Great idea.

aare 2012-12-18 00:17

I like the blend of shooting/avoiding bullets that you achived in this game. It could imho use some "tuchou" gameplay style though - with the head smaller, faster movement and more bullets it really could become some kind of two-side, defense, bullet hell

Super fun. Love the art. Unique concept. Very fun.

georgebroussard 2012-12-18 01:02

I love this game! My finger gave out at level 17. Loved the dragon head and watching it move around and the increasing difficulty. Very well done game and perfect for 48 hours. I would keep working on this and add more to it.

meep 2012-12-18 01:10

Very fun game! I personally felt the graphics could have been more consistent (The style of the beast vs the buildings/helicopters/people seemed very different). Having the fireball sprites rotate to be facing the direction they're travelling in would've added a nice effect as well. Overall though, great work! :)

sclark39 2012-12-18 02:11

Love the dodging mechanic.

markengley 2012-12-18 14:11

Great effort - especially getting the full intro/graphics/sound in there.

Love how old school this one is.

lorancou 2012-12-18 14:18

Very retro! The controls are great, congrats!

frederickk 2012-12-18 18:10

Man, you are the earth and play with a giant monster. How more cool can you get?
Great job! :)

Oreganik 2012-12-19 06:35

Solid! "Lost my head" at level 17. I noted with some amusement that there were 5 zeroes in front my score. I'd pay to see a gaming marathon get to THAT score. =D Interesting mechanic, well implemented. Definite bonus points for a subtle musical score.

fishbrain 2012-12-19 07:09

Very nice point-and-click shooter, very well executed, and nice graphics. Well done!

loren 2012-12-19 17:31

fun music and art! Goat! Dig the gameplay, nice job!

papygaragos 2012-12-19 18:54

really liked it :)

krasse 2012-12-19 20:23

This was a nice game.
It was great mechanics with the head and the level up stuff.
I'll never walk over one of those sewer hatches again!

casino-jack 2012-12-21 16:31

Really good fun. It properly felt like I was playing as an end-game boss, having to take out enemies while protecting my weak point. Cursor was a bit hard to see at times, and it'd be nice if you could hold down the mouse to fire continuously.

niavlys 2012-12-22 19:14

Graphics are good! The idea is nice too, and your game is very well done. In my opinion there is just a little problem with the gameplay: I would like to be able to shoot down to the ground when I'm at a high level, currently it seems I'm forced to lower my head to the ground if I want to shoot pedestrians.

colapsydo 2013-01-05 11:25

It was fun, but maybe an autofire could save a lot of mouse in the world.
I like the dragon which look like some kind of space harrier shenron (I don't konw this amiga samurai).
