This is pretty great. I enjoy the art style and references to movie monsters. Aiming the cannon feels a bit weird though.

took me a second to figure out how to control the cannon, but i tell ya this is a comfy game

It was fairly fun. I enjoyed how the monsters balled up while in the air.

I like how the launched monsters are recognizable creatures from the Godzilla franchise! The graphics and camera movement are really crisp, sweet game

I really like the graphics and the types of creatures that get shot out of the cannon! It was a bit hard to control the direction of the cannon, the sensitivity felt a bit high. Well done!

Looks good, but found the controls hard to use.

I like the style, and the monsters are cool, I wish there was more of them! Nice Job

Simple game and concept, but it was fun and really nicely made. I love the design. Good job

Lovely graphics and animation. Some quick hints on how to control the cannon would have helped but it wasn't too hard to figure out :) This has a lot of promise. Great work!

Cool game, the art work really well, the gameplay too, i think it will port really well to mobile. the thing that was missing for me is some kind of marking to tell me what was my last shot ( maybe a dot to where my cursor was?) because the camera movement and time between two shot is quite long and i was always forgeting the exact position.

I really like the idea of firing mystical beasts out of a cannon to destroy a competing city.

richiebranson 2015-04-22 03:47

I see you with the Mothra & Godzilla references! Good stuff, lol. The cannon aiming & power could use a bit of refinement, but other than that, nice work!

Awesome graphics and fun gameplay. The controls felt a little awkward (I tried aiming from the front) and you had to be very accurate to actually hit the other guy, but it was still heaps of fun.

phocker 2015-04-22 03:48

this was great! aiming was wonky but the core game was great - would love to see more work on this

chronodk 2015-04-23 12:49

Lovely graphical style - this could turn out really nice if given more work.

deadbodyoutline 2015-04-24 04:56

wow, nice game here! Reminded me (a little) of Rampage :) But it is a litte hard to move the canon

deadbodyoutline 2015-04-24 04:59

Oops, *"This game reminds me...", I am sleepy now :p

sebasrez 2015-04-27 16:40

I love this! The bot kicked my ass but the idea is great!

maral 2015-04-27 16:49

I always hated this cannon like games, yet you made it absolutely adorable, so I finished the whole game (I lost :( ) and changed my opinion on cannon like games :D

jovoc 2015-04-27 16:54

That's amazing! Love the cannonball animation. Great art style. Destructable building! Would be great with a 2-player mode

teamcalcium 2015-05-02 09:04

Neat idea and great artstyle but the aiming made the game less enjoyable unfortunately

jdaivaliotis 2015-05-04 01:31

Art style was really cool. The game felt pretty nice, but I didn't really feel a point to playing past the first stage.

Some more sound work would have made this game go much further!

emmelineprufrock 2015-05-06 02:48

Simple concept executed well. Loved your limited sound effects and art style.

Excellent work tying the gfx/sfx to the arc/firing. The blocky style works well here.
