Fun game, got confused for the last 10 seconds or so when the screen shake caused me not to be able to see my mutant. nice work!

Hard to get the movement down, but once I did it was a blast! Good work!

Really nice game and art, really good.

Loved it! I wish I had some indicator as to where people were before I jumped or after I was over them. I ended up mostly finding food to eat and then mostly missing the people on the bridge.

Fun game! Very polished feeling.

The end was a bit weird, and OH THAT SCREAMING SOUND.
But I a fun nerveless! Also when that bridge broke... Welcome to the bloodbath :)

I really like this game! Don't think I've played something like it before. Wasn't sure if the bridge was meant to break or not but cool nontheless. Awesome stuff!

Really interesting idea and gameplay. Very good game.

jakob37 2015-08-25 16:52

Nice and polished game. The controls did overall feel very nice. I felt that more control over the jumping/eating-part could have improved it even further, it felt a bit random when I did or didn't manage to eat someone. Highly satisfying ending. Well done!

Nice! i liked it. gratz!

eric777 2015-08-25 23:38

I'm finding that my favorite games this this LD are the ones where you get to kill LOADS of humans. This one was just fantastic! And different than all the others I've played. I like how your character looks when he gets huge. Jumping out of the water to nab people was very satisfying.

Nicely done!

Good work. I like the glowing effect on the orb things in the water.

spotlightor 2015-08-26 01:30

pretty cool!

mventurelli 2015-08-26 01:53

Fun thing but a bit frustrating that we can't really see where the humans are when leaving the water or falling down from the sky =(

Very fun game, had me hooked for a while, it's a bit frustrasting that you can't see the humans on the bridge and you have to guess where they here and hope the best, but apart from that, it's amazing.

Nice graphics and a lot of fun, screaming people are the best :)

Best ending to a game ever! Everything before the ending was not so good. Because I can't see the bridge when I jump, I can't control whether I'm actually able to eat people or not; I can't aim for my victims. In that situation, I'd like to do a long horizontal jump to catch as much bridge area as possible, but that can't be done because the game area is too narrow. Other than the time limit, there's not much opposition. This all changes once the bridge breaks, though: The end is far more satisfying than it has any right to be.

tl;dr: Make sure the bridge stays lower, widen the play area, good game.

rongefilet 2015-08-26 15:31

That arcady feeling works very well, good job ! ^^

disperse 2015-08-27 02:37

Awesome, really fun, which is what making games is all about.

lmt 2015-08-27 15:48

That was pretty awesome. No idea how I broke the bridge, but I did it! and that led me to become the coolest mutant caused by chemical waste ever. Perhaps, rather than having an end goal you could've made this more of a scroeboard type of game.

I love the sound that happens when you eat the people.

schnerble 2015-08-28 01:16

Tricky to get the hang of, but I like the style :) (Doesn't work on Firefox, by the way - at least for me; I had to switch to Chrome)

electron 2015-08-28 14:36

Good game , what did you used to make it

hamsternator 2015-08-29 12:54

Played like a trickier version of Super Mega Worm. Nice =D
The simple controls worked really well. I'm happy I played this =)

empyrealhell 2015-08-30 23:40

A nice take on a classic web game. There is a point in which the bridge is too high to see, so you just have to jump at it and hope you hit someone, but before and after that it was a blast. When the bridge finally broke, the chaos that ensued was highly satisfying.

skt 2015-08-30 23:46

Absolutely in love with the sound effects, especially when the monster catches those colourful things. Pretty fun game, but that was hard to eat people because we can't see where they are on the bridge. Nice job !

commanderstitch 2015-08-30 23:57

lol loved this, the graphics were nice, the controls were super easy to get, the character was cool, my first failure was intruiged by the message"you are not even in your final form" made me wanted to play it again, which i did, then the thing broke and i was like YES YES YES YES YES awesome!!!! :D a bit slow and tedious to get to that point is a negative, you miss a lot. :/ some sort of indicature with your monster senses as to where ppl are on the bridge would have been super!

larzan 2015-08-31 15:44

Haha, just beautiful the idea and implementation! The controls felt a bit strange sometimes, it would have been nice to correct the movement in air at least a bit.
But really well done, n1!

ripter 2015-09-02 04:18

I wish I had some indication of where the people will be when I pop up. Most of my jumps where wasted.

nomys_tempar 2015-09-02 14:58

Very cool game! I like the scary music.

hexagore 2015-09-03 18:33

Nice art and the gameplay is fun. Thanks :)

flaid 2015-09-07 16:10

It kind of reminded me of a game that I have for iOS: Super Mega Worm.

I loved the Wilhelm scream, and the ominous music definitely added to the mood of the game. I found it a little bit difficult to control, especially considering that you can't exactly see the people on the bridge, making for most of the jumps being complete misses.

logiclogue 2015-09-09 06:35

I really enjoyed playing this game. Very unique game. Great job!

bodsey 2015-09-10 14:45

I don't think this is a good game, but I loved it and played it through the end. Now I need to reconsider my whole system of value, bravo
