Fun Game. Made me think of Rampage if it was a side-scroller. Controls are a bit funky but once you get used to it the game is easier.

empyrealhell 2015-08-24 03:57

I really liked the control scheme, seems like it would be a great fit for a controller.

terracottafrog 2015-08-24 03:58

Control does not work properly in the web version. Arrows and space affect the page instead of the game.

Windows version is asking for a .dat that isn't included.

The game looks fun, so I'll check this page for fixes.

The controls were interesting, and the graphics and animation were simple but well done.

imdigitaljim 2015-08-24 04:00

Love the graphics! :D

jelinib 2015-08-24 04:14

Oh snap, thanks for the heads up TerraCottaFrog! I've updated Windows link so that it now includes the Data folder I overlooked. Hope it's A-OK now! :)

Looks really cool, but the controls weren't working for me in the web version :(

jmguillemette 2015-08-24 05:11

that made me laugh !

greysphere 2015-08-24 05:16

Definitely reminded me of rampage too! Lots of cool animations in this.

digiman572 2015-08-24 05:32

This game was really cool. Loved the monster and the game mechanics! I went ahead and submitted my score, doubt it's going to stay at that rank for long. The art was also really cool and had some silly animations. :D

pheonise 2015-08-24 06:10

Everything felt so silly, I love it!

WebGL version wasn't receiving input, so I had to download the Windows version.

jorgemoag 2015-08-24 11:41

very fun game! thanks!

terracottafrog 2015-08-24 16:28

This is a really fun and unique game!

The controls would be little better in my opinion if space were forwards attack the right were move, but that's just personal taste. I know it would be less consistent, but I think it would improve the game.

Good work!

I really like the instruction screen for some reason. It looked good.

steve 2015-08-24 18:28

This was fun, and the walk animation made me laugh :) Had an interesting meta game where pushing up and down also scrolled the webpage so I had to keep the game in view while still playing it ;)

benjaminsen 2015-08-24 23:51

Could not get the web version to load :(

dalbinblue 2015-08-25 03:44

This was a nice cathartic game after a long day, and very funny too. I did specially like that you had to be pretty frantic with the controls to stay ahead on health, so the challenge was pretty balanced. The game is also pretty funny, and while I initially though the controls where space is movement and the arrow keys were actions would be kind of messy, it did actually work well.

My highscore was about 18,100 or 181,000 (it disappeared quickly because I was mashing space when I died).

kalkatos 2015-08-25 05:20

Funny! I think the monster walking need some improvement, though... It's a bit clunky, in my opinion. Maybe bigger steps?
Good game overall.

huo-cuo 2015-08-25 06:08

Wow, very funny and playable game! It is a shame I almost all the time missed my score, because I was clicking spacebar too rapidly :)

ndebruyn 2015-08-25 06:16

I am giving you high scores on this one because I really enjoyed all aspects of the game. Very nice. The sound could be better. I wouldn't have used music as background but nice spooky sounds.

svenfrankson 2015-08-25 06:23

Ministry of Silly Walks !

jelinib 2015-08-25 07:01

Hey guys, I just fixed the bug where the spacebar automatically hits the Retry button. Let me know if I messed up any of the builds!

Thanks everybody for the comments, the input, and for playing! :)

samh 2015-08-25 18:45

Difficult but fun! Nice choice of keyframes, too!

frozencow 2015-08-25 19:50

Hey man! What a brilliant concept and game! Best concept ever :D

I loved the silly walk and the people screaming. They cracked me up! All the derpyness that I missed is here. Nice going!

mikhail 2015-08-25 20:14

Nice game man thx for helping me fix a bug in mine. Great job!

general 2015-08-25 20:33

The game is fun, but controls must be reworked. BTW, be sure to check Days of Monsters flash game.

Here're my video reviews: http://youtu.be/AkOdas_qL9A
Your game is at 33:17

jaypc 2015-08-26 03:55

Got a high score of 9170 Thought the game was super fun.... SO MUCH BUTTON MASHING THO

ali312 2015-08-27 05:40

A bit hard control, and it's almost funny, but i've seen this theme lots of times

van-noctar 2015-08-27 14:28

Good idea but inputs are bugged

nassi 2015-08-27 19:01

Interesting control scheme in a tried and true rampage game. Eating the tanks is totally pointless though, which could be seen as a design flaw. I'm a total sucker for games with highscores though and seeing as how a simple decision of just letting a tank shoot you will actually BOOST your score made it actually more interesting on some level. The silly aesthetic is a nice contrast to the rather gorey gameplay.

The keys used, while logical are a bit unwieldy, I would've probably used left, up and right instead. There's plenty of content for a compo entry, but as it is it gets stale pretty fast. Random powerups and/or collectibles would've been a cool addition!

jelinib 2015-08-27 19:08

Sweet input, nassi--I really appreciate it! Thanks for putting in the time to give a detailed comment, and thanks playing! :)

voidstar33 2015-08-27 21:48

Good game. I usually dont like button mashing, but for some reason I like it this time. Well done.

lukezaz 2015-08-29 02:15

Quite hard, but very enjoyable. Loved the walk animation.

rnlf 2015-08-29 09:17

Haha, very funny. I like the difference bass sounds for the different feet!

It's a bit hard and too hactiv for my taste, but it looks amazingly hilarious.

jupiter_hadley 2015-08-29 17:59

Super fun game. I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Jf2dZyQpNFE

karai17 2015-08-30 03:00

Silly little game, controls were a bit awkward though.

roaringcatgames 2015-09-04 00:09

The control is kind of a hard to get get used to at first. Had some fun factor to it. Good job!

nurbs 2015-09-04 03:00

Cute little game, I like how the dinosaur gets bigger the more people you eat. Takes a while for the difficulty to get any higher (if it does?) so it can get a bit repetitive.

roaringcatgames 2015-09-04 13:44

Thank you for your extensive review on our game! Your issue must have been a Chrome related browser error. We haven't come across that issue yet in Safari, Firefox, and IE. We realized how clunky the control layouts were after submission and instead, should have went with A-S-D-F key-layout for player one and J-K-L-; for player two.

We will fix that along with music-beat synchronization, and a few other polishing touches before sending it out on our website or possible free app release.

Cheers,
-Loi LeMix

Great fun. The tanks would sometimes be behind the mouth before they got eaten, but other than that I loved it.

zeriver 2015-09-05 15:31

After reading descriptions i was expecting something like QWOP monster edition :)
Anyway game was pretty entertaining to play, it actually requires good reflexes and ability to quickly make decisions (quickly going forward, destroying building -quick break to chomp helicopter, continue destroying building and now chomp any slow pokes who didn't run fast enough).
I like this light / more humorous approach on the theme, well done!

petegrammarman 2015-09-06 05:15

I love the animation/movement of Gorgezilla, very hilarious.

hotboxgames 2015-09-07 21:08

Haha nice, I really like the dino's walking animation, made me chuckle
Nice art, nice sound and fun game! good job!

nihilaleph 2015-09-08 01:39

Really nice game! It's really fun ^^~ A bit hard for me though, since you can't dodge and humans escape quite fast xp Although I don't really like button masher I liked the controls! Graphics and audio were very nice too! All added to the "silly" mood xp A lot of work was done~! Congratz!!

handkor 2015-09-09 14:43

This was really fun and pretty. Very nice art style.

pansapiens 2015-09-10 06:39

This is super fun and amusing, great job ! It feels like all the good bits from Rampage, without the spongy controls that made Rampage a little frustrating at times. Would translate well to mobile.

krunoslav 2015-09-11 10:15

Very fun game, I really enjoyed! The difficiluty is well balanced :)
I downloaded the windows version because the input does not work for me in the browser version.

crucknuk 2015-09-11 11:39

I just loved how you manipulate gorgezilla, really made me laugh at some occasion when i see i could chomp those poor stickmen running away from me.
haha, well done!

jantuts 2015-09-14 17:41

It's pretty funny :D
I can't judge audio, as I cannot make noise right now... :/

matthew-rayfield 2015-09-15 00:04
