I liked the concept and It was an ok game as it all worked, but I wish there were something more unique about it :) I hope this helps.
It also took me a min to realize you were supposed to shake the people into his mouth and not drop the cars.
Interesting concept. The sound effects could use some work, but other than that, it's good.
This is awesome, had a blast playing this! NIcely done!

This game is harder than I expected. I found that if I hold down the mouse button I can grab a bunch of cars at once and have a feeding frenzy, which was pretty sweet!
The people's yelling sounded pretty sarcastic, "ahh, this again? how inconvenient" which was hilarious.

LOL, The funny thing about recording the yell is my 1yr old son was trying to sleep in the next room and I didn't want to wake him. So it was a whisper yell that I tried to enhance.
Hahaha that was hilarious!

Awesome! Your game had a surprising amount of depth to the system. Like the way I could pick up cars to smash the cops, but if I did too much of that I lost victims to feed. I had to adjust my play and try to shake the food out then smash the cops, which was quite a juggling act. Then I learned I could pick up multiple cars.. I felt really strong, it was my fault when I failed.
Well done!
Simple but well executed. And harder than I expected haha
really funny game, great concept

Fun! Clever mechanic, nicely implemented. Difficulty seems a little off—I ended up losing a lot of health really quickly with no apparent means to defend myself—but the basic idea is very solid.

Now this is creativity! Loved it. Great gameplay and mechanic. The screaming is a bit funny and had me smiling throughout :) Congrats on submitting your entry!
Pretty funny! :)

Nice use of the theme and it controls pretty well (especially grabbing bunches of cars at once) but two minor critiques. First the "lose" animation sequence strikes me as a little long for what it is (with seemingly no way to skip or speed it up). Considering how often I saw it while playing, it got a little old after awhile.
Secondly, and this one is for the monster and not you, the developer - if you're starving to death and desperately trying to shovel food into your own mouth, STOP DODGING IT. Seriously, no wonder you keep starving to death, you crazy monster... you're actively avoiding your own attempts at self-nourishment!
Anyway, it was fun, and that monster seriously needs to learn to feed itself properly. Good work!

Good. :)
I think it would be better in full screen.
Pretty funny. Liked the color scheme.
fun and simple game.

never has flinging helpless daytrippers into my maw been more of a struggle.
The gameplay is pretty good, although I think it's too tough to avoid dying.

Awesome camera shake and explosions, and who doesn't like eating a bunch of people? Good fun! The controls are intuitive and easy to pick up, and it's so satisfying to shake things and fling cars with extreme force. Only the audio felt unpolished, but who has time for that in a compo anyway, right? Haha. Great game!
I loved that feeding the fish monster actually simulated feeding a pet goldfish, that is amazing. The bored screams were a funny touch as well.

Its an funny idea and gamemechanic, its just a bit hard to let the people fall into the monster :D Really cool game
Nice entry. Not as easy as it looks! May be a good candidate for a mobile game with touch. Just saying :-)
Interesting take on the theme :)
Haha, nice job with the theme! Hilarious watching people being shaken out of their cars!
