cryptix 2015-08-23 22:19

This is really fun! :) I like the snakopede's movement a lot!

krillzz94 2015-08-23 23:46

Nice story

I loved the smooth transition to burrowing. I wanted to move faster when burrowed. And how some kind of "emerge" attack.

I WANTED MORE. But basically excellent.

Great game, man. Really cool. The monster is responding really well. I assume it could have been a total fail but it is very responsive.

The digging mechanic is a good idea too.

good job

Really fun, great physics. Humourous premise (too bad it I can't vote for humour :( )

tayl1r 2015-08-24 10:24

You were the monster all along.

Impressive visuals given everything's primitives :D Nice tutorial introduces the concepts, good selection of enemies too. Found the city level to be pretty easy just avoiding all the tanks. Nicely done!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone - I turned on humour and audio as voting categories as I can't really think of a good reason why I turned them off in the first place.

10/10 snakopede

anaglyphcoding 2015-08-24 11:09

Loved it, 5 stars overall, great job!

terop 2015-08-24 11:11

nice.

jaywoody 2015-08-24 11:19

Very nice! Best game I've played so far. The burrowing mechanic is really cool! Also nice AI on the people.

Very solid game! Nicely done!

raducumiczzz 2015-08-24 12:03

I love the gameplay, borrowing made it very very cool. The graphics are great. Nice gameplay and also great story. The movements of the 'little guy' is great!

cgriff 2015-08-24 12:19

This game was worthy of a better name! But a fine job nonetheless.

designernap 2015-08-24 13:11

Great work and super fun! also, best name I have seen for a game ever.

mrdave 2015-08-24 13:18

I have loads of great things to say about this game. You really nailed the look and feel of the game. I really enjoyed just moving around and bursting out of the ground.

Too bad it's only on wasd and not on arrows keys, Unity won't hear anything about switching keyboard layout, it always stays on this unplayable setting for my azerty keyboard...

tlansdale 2015-08-24 18:25

Sorry to hear that Grhyll. An Xbox controller should work too, if you have one of them?

aiursrage2k 2015-08-24 18:29

Good concept that should be fleshed out.

ronsap123 2015-08-24 20:15

HaHa, One of the best! Liked a lot!

uvwar 2015-08-24 20:15

Very cool worm mechanic!

sneeuwpopsneeuw 2015-08-24 20:18

4/5 ign, no 5/5 because of the K and L buttons,why not Q and E

but overall nice

jmguillemette 2015-08-24 20:19

Tunneling was easily the most surprising mechanic of the game. controls are a bit tight but overall didn't interfere with the enjoyment to the game. great job!

wevel 2015-08-24 20:19

Nice game, fun to burrow under people, did seem to get a bit repetitive.

toomuchpete 2015-08-24 20:21

Awesome! The controls were nice although a little soft -- I wanted to move a little faster. It'd also be pretty neat if tricking tanks into shooting each other caused them to blow up.

Excellent submission!

scriptorum 2015-08-24 20:37

Nicely done! Very fun to play as the monster especially when you get to attack right after unburrowing.

Spotline 2015-08-24 20:42

Cool ! Gameplay and realisation are very nice, and they are tons of ways you could expand on that basis :)

coumn 2015-08-25 02:00

Really innovative, one of the best "Monster Simulator"! (:
Maybe with better graphics?

franklins-ghost 2015-08-25 09:07

Really nice submission and liked the use of the theme. The burrow was also a really nice stealth move which was fun to play around with.

shimage 2015-08-25 22:27

The monster is very cute. The movement is also great and beautiful. Good!

kpapageorge 2015-08-25 22:49

I love the burrow animation.
The game was really fun to play.
The story was great too.

bigbuggames 2015-08-26 11:04

Fun game, and nice hidding mechanic. Although another kind of camera would had been much better.

glimaleite 2015-08-26 18:35

I really liked the burrowing mechanic. I think you could've used it more, it opens a lot of possibilities. Good job!

cloudeyes 2015-08-26 19:35

good mechanics ,nice graphics too

ewchap 2015-08-27 03:20

Great fun. I loved the burrow mechanic. the look and feel of it both were very spot on. I agree with another post here that an attack out of burrow would be really fun and rewarding. Awesome job

rockhoppergames 2015-08-27 13:57

I really liked this little game! The snakepede's design and movement were really good, and it's still fun destroying a city, even if the game was never that difficult.

One suggestion though, it might be more fun if you could hold down the attack button to attack. It was a little annoying when your attack ends right before you can eat the last human in a little clump.

halleflux 2015-08-28 20:57

A fun game, but the battles are long and... well, dull. While an interesting mechanic, burrow in a of itself doesn't hold up the game enough. It's a great start, but adding in something else is needed in order to really make the game engaging.
(Don't get me wrong, it's fun, it just gets a bit boring after level 2, as there isn't really anything new at that point; any new enemies are still one hits, shoot at you, etc, to my knowledge.)
Also, it was tedious to restart from the beginning, rather than the level you were on. It just takes a long time.
Apart from that, the graphics were good, the animations were good, I really did like the burrow mechanic, overall it's good.
Well done!

geckoo1337 2015-09-01 04:46

Really good project. I like how move this creature. The digging possibility is a great idea which I have never seen in another project. Well done. Thank you ++

manoloko 2015-09-06 08:52

Nice looking and entertaining game. I find amusing the story we're told.

andybrown 2015-09-07 21:09

Great entry! The primitives based art was charming and effective. It was challenging, but not too difficult. The burrowing mechanic was fun. The one thing I think was a little off was the pacing- which is something I totally flopped on my own entry. Some more sound effects and some music would have really added to the overall quality as well.

handkor 2015-09-12 02:47

Very well done, the creature controls quite well.

catmoo 2015-09-13 16:36

Really enjoyed it Tom, great first LD! Loved burrowing under ground and completing it :)
