Nice simple game.
Various attacks, really fun.
I got up to 43.000.000E worth of damages !
fun.. had to get use to controls a bit, but after some tries it was ok
Cute, well made game! I included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/vxHEoUQEThc
Very fun!!! Simple and fun.
Reducing the building to rubble is empowering for the player. However, I think 2 things could have been done to make it even more empowering:
- Allowing the player to control the monster's movement. By the game being an auto-scroller, I think it distances the player from the character. I didn't really "feel" like the monster.
- Having sound effects. The silence made the action feel very soft (for lack of a better word). I honestly think some explosions would work wonders.
The controls felt a bit odd at first, but I became second nature after a few plays. I enjoyed figuring out what each attack did, and when it was best to use it. One thing I would recommend is putting in a line about being able to aim your fire attack. That was a game changer for me.
The cartoony graphics worked well, and implementing a high score really encourages repeat plays. Glad to see you participated in another Ludum Dare.
I would have liked to control the monsters movements directly, but I having the auto movements did allow you to use all of the arrows keys for the different attacks, which i liked. I got into a good rhythm of bashing stuff, timing the purple attack to get rid of the missiles and then using the fire breath. It took me a a little while to figure out you could aim the fire, and once I started doing that it felt pretty cool and I managed to get a better score (logged in to Scirra arcade to record a score and got a worse one!)
I expected the monster to be a bit faster, and the attack were slow for me as well. But the concept is good and I made some damage over 400.000 eur which is cool. :)
Cute graphics. Fun idea to show the score as euros.
Good variability. Good game. ^^
Score only in the end... And sometimes when I restart the game, I start dead.
Fun. I think the controls could be revised and it would be nice to have a way to heal yourself or gain health. Otherwise solid endless runner / rampage mashup.
