Very fun. And theme was like, almost cliche.

The only thing scarier than a tarantula is a flying pumpkin.

I really liked the graphics and animations! Plush spooky feel. The controls felt pretty good (though I kept clicking outside the window and losing game focus). Monotonous and unpaced gameplay, though, and the sound quickly got obnoxious and was a poor match to the mood. Still, really cute concept that could be great with a better backbone.

Cute protagonist! I got bored pretty quickly though (47 defeated), the difficulty needs to start ramping up more quickly.

Although it's always the same thing after playing 2 min, i wanted to see if difficulty increases over time, but seems like not.
score : 1010
Maybe you can increase monsters' HP over time ? Because here if the player is extra careful the game will never end

Animation rocks. Graphics are very cool. Theme is well chosen:D. Great game, good work!

Creepy! Enjoyed the art and animation. Solid controls as well. Would like to hear some different music eventually, and maybe some different enemies or powerups for the monster.
Neat game!

Lovely looking game! What a sweet cute little monster! ♥
The environment is cool, great spooky mood. Nice work!

I'd have this little guy protect me too.

Nice take on the theme. I liked it

The basic gameplay is good, but it gets a bit boring (I gave up and just let them win, I was at 350 points). Art style is great, sound gets a little annoying (but you have it, which is more than can be said for a lot of entries).

Main problem I have is the theme. I mean sure, you literally play as a monster, but you could replace the monster you play as with the child's parent or a talking can of soup and it wouldn't change the rest of the game one bit.

Enjoyable game. The monster is really cute. I like your take on the theme by turning the monster in to a friendly monster protecting the child. Nice ramp in difficulty.

Cute the monster, it reminds me of a movie character when I was younger. Gameplay is also immediate and fun. Good Job!

Really liked the gameplay, was a little hard to hit the monsters mostly like telling where the border of their body was. But I loved how when purple guy jumps he turns into a little ball, and it was fun shooting them. Didn't make it too far, only about three minutes or so, but would love to see how it continues further on.

Cute monster and shooting sounds! Sometimes I would get like 10 seconds of nothing happening, and then a bunch of them all swarm (slowly) in at once. Slightly mean, but it breaks up the repetition a little! I let myself die at 93 points or so.

The enemy sprites/animations were also pretty awesome. Nice job. :)

I like the cute Guardian Monster. Simple and fun.

drogulisk 2015-09-10 07:23

My favorite part was the adorable firing sound, good choice on that one!

Very cute! Great the graphics! Audio is a bit off I think, but it gets the job done. Mechanics are nice, I think it's weird when my speed is the same as the bullet, but no big deal. There could be more level progression though... Maybe having bigger waves, or having an end to the night. Other than that great job!
