Awesome. Great graphics, innovative controls. Nice attention to detail with the brief flashing immunity when the hero gets hit, the clanging of the two fists together, subtle screen shake. The audio fits nicely. And a little humour with the bunny swarm. Great job.

cool game

mcfood 2015-08-24 09:12

Wow, so fun, looks great.
I think you should wait a second or two to show the level success or failure screen. So we can see the final impact.

Definitely worth playing for the final two levels. They rock.

You should add sound, maybe tighten up the controls a little and publish this one =)

sadale 2015-08-24 09:52

Well done! This is the best game I've played in this event. Good concept. Good graphic. Good sfx. Good everything!

hive-interactive 2015-08-24 10:07

Very neat all around :)

sogomn 2015-08-24 11:07

So damn cool! REALLY innovative mechanics! I really liked the game and enjoyed playing it! This was an awesome idea!

madjackmcmad 2015-08-24 11:10

Fun and super innovative. Great graphics, sound was tough to swallow. Only problem was that arrow keys wanted to scroll my web page up and down. Other than that I had big huge fun crushing humans.

tijn 2015-08-24 11:25

Wow, this game is great! It looks and feels very polished, especially with the different levels and everything. The animations of the characters is also very well done. But the best part is of course when you're uncontrollably throwing your both arms around, hahaha.

voxel 2015-08-24 11:54

Ugh so satisfying to swing those arms around (and into eachother). I'd have liked the ability to do extra damage on powerful strikes

daanvanyperen 2015-08-24 12:17

Bit loud. Like the art!

ferraware 2015-08-24 13:19

Excellent game! On of the best so far!

Pros:
-Innovative and addictive
-Pretty solid for a 48h game

Cons:
-Pretty hard to control both arms at the time
-Maybe a 1p & 2p option would be cool

kaev 2015-08-24 14:23

Really cool game. The hands reminded me of thwomp from Super Mario World. I loved it!

sapermysz 2015-08-24 15:15

Very nice concept!

frondeus 2015-08-24 15:23

Good piece of game!

tibyte 2015-08-24 17:48

Great Idea. Up/Down Scroll the page on Ubuntu/Firefox.

cinnamonmelonpig 2015-08-24 17:52

This game is really fun and satisfying to play! Great work!

uheartbeast 2015-08-24 18:05

Loved this one. The sounds were a bit loud though haha. Overall this is one of the best ones I've played so far. Great job!

mrdave 2015-08-24 18:24

Thanks for all the people that have commented! I couldnt be happier with the replies! \o/

To all the people saying about the sound, I should have recorded things on a mic but at the time I was too shy to, I regret that now

@TiByte + @madjackmcmad Sorry the page scrolls up and down with the Up/Down key, there is not much I can do. If you play it on my website I disable those keys however I cant do that on the LD site.

@voxel While you dont to extra damage with powerful hits you to knock more rings out of the npc so it is still worth doing.

mantis 2015-08-24 18:48

Really sweet game!

parappayo 2015-08-24 18:54

Excellent game, I very much enjoyed it.

terop 2015-08-24 19:21

great idea. I've always wanted to kill all cute bunnies...

cake_catastrophe 2015-08-24 19:35

This is a really neat idea! The controls are kind of frustrating, so in the end I just sort of mashed button, but things worked anyway.

It definitely plays better on the levels with more enemies, since you can pretty much flail uncontrollably and still squish thing.

Art was nice, too.

vaida 2015-08-24 20:46

The game mechanic is very fun and even though it's hard to control, especially at the beginning, that's partly what makes the game fun. The audio and the graphics help make the game even more hilarious. A lot of levels for a 48 hour game, you should be proud! :)

leekanarchism 2015-08-24 22:01

This was really fun to play!

I found most of the levels easy to complete by pretty much just flailing around, which although it was hilariously fun, wasn't much of a challenge :) (except for the final level, which I can't get close to completing)

fistmaker 2015-08-24 22:40

Had a great time playing your game! Simple to figure out, and fun to play! Special Level 1 was very fun! Good graphics and effects!

vividhelix 2015-08-24 23:07

oh no i killed a bunny :)

terracottafrog 2015-08-25 00:06

The web version has arrow key input that moves the page in addition to the game.

Use this script (paste into the body section of index.html):
<script>
window.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) {
// space and arrow keys
if([32, 37, 38, 39, 40].indexOf(e.keyCode) > -1) {
e.preventDefault();
}
}, false);
</script>

Norton also hates the windows version and will not let me play :(

scripturus 2015-08-25 00:08

Fun game, broke my keyboard, 10/10.

aiursrage2k 2015-08-25 01:23

Well it was an interesting concept. I found the controls abit too unwieldy

mechatofupirate 2015-08-25 02:33

Really cool controls. Good work!

unclechris 2015-08-25 03:43

I really liked the graphics, and the game was fun. Had problems with up and down arrow scrolling whole web screen while playing... but that didn't detract from my votes.

jmguillemette 2015-08-25 04:14

original concept .. took a min to figure it out.. was fun!

manou 2015-08-25 08:22

Interesting gameplay and idea. Can I make a remake in 3D ? :P

mrdave 2015-08-25 09:48

Thanks again for all the advice people!

I changed the hosting website so it shouldn’t scroll down the page when you use the arrow keys, I hope that didn’t give too many people a bad experience because I understand it would make the game pretty unplayable like that.

crowbeak 2015-08-25 11:40

Highly entertaining, not least because the control scheme is so crazy.

hexagore 2015-08-25 12:19

Amusing :)

goutye 2015-08-25 13:27

Interesting mechanic, hard to be perfect but manage to beat every level except the last one! Good job

jupiter_hadley 2015-08-25 20:38

Quite fun! I included it in part 4 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/NqmWO8MUX6c

ponk 2015-08-25 21:23

Innovative game mechanic ! Nice drawings !
It's a great compo entry !

kunonooni 2015-08-25 22:23

This would be an awesome drunk party game :D. Well done sir!

kahztein 2015-08-27 01:37

Quite a fun little game, but you really need to manage the sounds, it starts to hurt my poor ears ;-;

bloomingbuds 2015-08-27 13:03

Good entry and a really interesting (and hard) way of controlling the monster. My favourite level was the one with the rabbits :D

unept 2015-08-27 19:07

Love this! Very unique idea. I would consider tweaking the controls a bit more, so the unpredictability remains, but maybe a little more movement occurs with the key press. Anyway, great job!

empyrealhell 2015-08-28 02:20

Fun, though a little hard to control for us non-qwerty users. Still, I was able to get surprisingly far with just the right hand.

joeprogram 2015-08-28 15:00

Really amazing controls - does such a good job of making your arms feel big and heavy by having you press on the keyboard in such long, crushing presses. Loved the way the AI moved - erratic enough to be surprising, but still enough to not feel cheap. Knocking them up in the air was so much fun. Great job!

slothmachine 2015-08-28 20:50

Really fun idea and interesting controls. Good job.

rudra 2015-08-29 14:03

Very neatly done, with great graphics and controls. Well done :)

shawn42 2015-08-31 02:30

Fun mechanic, can't just mash buttons. Fun game, nice work.

franklins-ghost 2015-09-01 14:18

Fun idea, liked the whole Aztec boss mechanic with the two big fists. Hard to control both at times but I think that just made it more fun and crazy. Also liked the way the two hands would hit together with impact, was a nice touch. Those poor rabbits... Did find the second special level really difficult though and couldn't beat it.

mfagerlund 2015-09-01 20:32

Really angry monster, that one!

lastleaf 2015-09-05 06:20

Love the controls though I played with keyboard. Good job overall!

landosystems 2015-09-10 04:20

Great game, played all the way through! Super fun mechanic, satisfying squishing, good art style. Lol at the special bunny level. Excellent work!

ludipe 2015-09-14 17:20

I thought this was super original and cool. It's hard to control the fists but that's what's supposed to happen. Really cool game! ^^
