I really liked the monster design, and the shaking screen effect that happens when you walk is really satisfying. I do with you could move a bit faster, since if two or more dragons show up at once it's almost impossible to dodge all of their fire attacks.

Poor Superman. Nice game.

i loved this, though sometimes getting hitting by a missile or fireball was completely unavoidable

Really fun! Shouldn't the dragons be on my side, though?

Perfect graphics and sound. Really solid work!

It was exciting to see the monster transform. Things like that makes you want to try again.

Super!

Honestly a great entry. Loads of fun, great theme interpretation, great optics (Especially the evolve animation).

Only problem is that sometimes it feels like you couldn't have done anything to avoid damage:

- Depending on where a helicopter drops a bomb, it is impossible to dodge it.
- Dragons seem to have inconsistent fire speed and sometimes they fire so fast that you can't "fit between shots".
- Collision detection feels very unforgiving. Everything gives you full damage even if it seems to miss or just graze your legs.

The running bombs are great because whenever you eat one it was entirely your own fault.

Superman deserved it!

Nice game!

Super cool game, easy to understand and fun to play. Love the sense of humor and mix of things to eat!

Outstanding game! I really enjoyed this and think its an awesome idea! Needs some music and maybe a few more sound effects but otherwise great!

THIS GAME IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE. Really great job. I can't believe you made this in 48 hours, very nicely done.

Fun game! The emerging is neat.

Nice game, but a bit hard. Only managed to get to the second "phase" with very little HP so I died quickly.

aaants 2014-04-30 19:02

Very pretty :)

I really liked this game. I was having issues running on the web. Everything would stop moving for a second every few seconds.

miwuc 2014-04-30 22:00

Really awesome graphics and fun concept. I'm not very good though so I'm sure I missed more cool stuff.
I kept wanting to eat the dragons :)

nizil 2014-04-30 22:09

Nice game ! The monster design is so cool, but I don't reach the third form yet... Gonna try again :)

elpaulo 2014-04-30 22:17

I like the design a lot. The game is fun to play but maybe a little too hard.

mrbungle 2014-05-01 22:08

I'm in love with the graphics. It would be good if you were a little more agile, but I guess it fits to be slow and lumbering so I'm torn.

makatak 2014-05-02 01:34

Really fantastic overall! Love the concept and the graphics, and it's really fun!

primaerfunktion 2014-05-02 17:00

This is really fun. Great concept and visuals. Love it!

linuus 2014-05-02 17:44

This is insanely good. Soo satisfying too eat the small people running around <3

ioboi 2014-05-02 18:06

I like the progressive gameplay a lot :)

beeinthecargames 2014-05-02 18:32

Fun and charming!

mneubrand 2014-05-03 18:50

Nice game. Graphics, sound and the little shake effects made it a very immersive experience. Also nice progression in gameplay.

solifuge 2014-05-03 19:09

That end-of-game screen *_* Oh man. So emotional~ Great monster design, and an awesome interpretation of the theme!

I really liked this game. It was hard, but I eventually was able to get the hang of the rhythm of it; I particularly liked how you added a couple of confusing inputs, so I didn't just run around eating absolutely everything without thinking about it (I tried licking the bombs, the helicopters, the dragons, the bombs walking around on the ground...)

Pretty much the only thing missing is a soundtrack, though at this point I feel like that might be something of a genre convention... ? I feel like there's a lot of these games involving monsters and killing things (albeit generally not from the perspective of the monster) that are SFX only. So, iffy on it.

Anyway, thanks for the game!

shweet. needs more birds and less missles to start out. i want to constantly suck in both damage AND people like a bada** monster

atomic_swerve 2014-05-06 01:19

I liked it! Great juice. The damage could have been communicated a little better (didn't realize the tongue took damage), but I kept trying after losing, so that's saying something. Good work!

alexfili 2014-05-11 08:11

A very clever game, I like the staged gameplay where you emerge gradually. It becomes pretty hard to avoid the hazards later but I like this game a lot.
