This is a very good entry. The premise was solid and could definitely be built upon. The characters were interesting and smashing enemies was fun. The gameplay was immediately intuitive.
I would have liked more feedback when I was being attacked, I found it difficult to notice the ground units.
Well done!
Interesting idea. It was entertaining to play. But it got complicated and hard very fast with that amount of enemies and after multiple hits i still had most of my livebar which felt wrong.
Cool graphics and concept! I got some serious Rampage and Scorched Earth vibes from this. As @mooncalf mentioned, I had difficulty making out the ground units sometimes. I also couldn't figure out how to take down or counter the higher flying bomber planes.
The audio of the sound effects are very loud when compared to the background music.
Very cool stuff! I'm super impressed with the tech here.
@halfskye You can shoot lasers from your eyes (right mouse button)!!! Another way to counter the higher planes is just covering yourself from the bombs, using your hand. Thank you for your feedback :wink:
@lukesta They are fuking giant monsters, they can take a lot of hits =P Anyway, thanks for your feedback, it's very important to me =D
The monochrome graphics and the game's mechanics are just wonderful. My only difficulty was hitting the ground units. Other than that the music and sounds seemed fine. You certainly get top marks on the mood scale, since it really gives you that Godzilla-esque experience. Great submission overall.
Really enjoyed playing! It has excellent game-feel. I was thinking that it'd be easy once I got rid of the people on the ground, but how you handled the waves of enemies flying-by or cropping up, kept me fully engaged!
Aesthetically, everything is solid and it's quite polished, too. If I have any complaint it's that the Home button is too big or close to the action. I got to I think 4:37 before I accidentally clicked it.
The game is pretty fun. I've never thought that being a kaiju was **that** hard and chaotic :P
I really like the aesthetics and the silly mood. Also, it's a bit frustrating not being able to reach tank or jet units when they are too hight or far away.
The silly, goofy mood of this game was its most entertaining feature to me. The gameplay was fun, but with the limbs moving this slowly, missing jets could get a little frustrating.
Pretty clever gameplay mechanics! It did take me a second to get used to everything, although I guess you could blame me for not playing the tutorial :). It was fun to play, but after a while it got a bit repetitive. Great entry!
Cool funny concept! I played with the panda. The music is funny, I like the grayscale graphics. Very intuitive and fun to play. Well done!!
Who would have thought that all I needed in my life was to become a Pandazilla? Nice aesthetic, juicy sounds and a very funny premise. I only wish the game would overall maybe be a bit faster (both in terms your HP decreasing deal and how fast your limbs move), but it's still :cool: Oh, a quick edit: Loved the tutorial. Short and straight to the point. I should learn a thing or two from your game.
Love it, so fun! I love the randomize character option. I got an upside down baby mime! Agree on the previous comment, maybe the HP should decrease faster, or enemies should appear in larger quantity. The limbs movement is cool, it gives the feeling of being a very large slow clumsy monster. Like good olde large monster films. Great job!
This game has a great feel, and is really fun. It reminds me of missile command a little bit in how you have to anticipate the incoming enemies. But the art style really captures the feel of old monster movies as well!
Silly is the right word. Also fun :grin: Possibly a bit too slow.
Quite bizarre, not to mention fun and very well made! Downside of doing the jam as opposed to the compo is that I have to compete against games as good as this. :wink: This really did give me a few cool ideas for games. Well done!
The concept of this game was pretty cool, I really liked the idea of destroying everything and the limb mechanic to kill the humans. As the other comments were saying I think that it was a little too slow, I think that just a small change in speed would work so much. Good Job!
Amazing Jam game. Love the simple mechanics. They were intuitive (didn't use tutorial) and was doing quite well. Felt the difficulty ramped up at an appropriate pace. The art style was great too. Only downside, and its a bit one, is that about 3 minutes in the game while I was doing well I got randomly booted. After reading a few of the comments it sounds like the Home button was at fault. Get that button out of there! That's the only downside to an otherwise amazing game.
Would love to hear your thoughts on my game, Sling Ship, if you get the opportunity:

Cheers!
This clicks all my Rampage nostalgia buttons in the best ways. Keep working on this, add new zillas and it could become a nice little mobile game.
At the moment it is the most bizarre thing that I have played in this LD. Good controls and moves. I've missed some more stress as the game progresses. Original, weird and nice entry.
You can try my game ^^

Pretty fun! I would've liked more progression with the play, perhaps weird stuff like adding more limbs or bigger things to destroy or increasing limb speed? Pretty interesting with the extending limbs and how that's being drawn. I destroyed all the cities on the screen, it after that it was just slowly dying to the planes and tanks.
Great game! The mood is really nice, and the giants are well animated. I love the wonky arms and legs! I't quite fun and seems well rounded. Some prograssion would have been nice, increasing difficulty or something. After a few minutes i feel like i've seen it all. The "the world is small an i am a giant" feeling is perfect.
A really fine entry.
The gameplay is very fun, but the members could move a little faster. The art style and mood are great too. Music was on point. I felt bad for the poor giant panda, though. :(
Hey, nice entry ! I really like the overall feel of the game, felt like in an old black and white monster movie ahah. Only downside is that the ground units are really hard to spot. Great job man
Fairly fun/funny game, high score was 3:36. The style fits, although I have 2 suggestions.
1. Being that the other characters are just a change in skin, the specials are the same and they play the same (although I wasn't sure if anyone shot faster/extended limbs faster). Because this makes the characters not all that unique/special, it removes some of the replayability (outside the higher score) and feels repetitive. This brings me to my next point.
2. The game is a tad bit too slow. The arms extending, enemies shooting/flying, everything. It didn't feel boring, but it also felt that the game could've gone faster. I don't know if this should be in an option with the difficulty or something (like making enemies move faster), but the character certainly feels too slow, and although they're giant and all, it still doesn't feel right.
Besides those criticisms/suggestions, nice game! It was solid, fun, and I wish you look with the ratings! :smiley:
A nice entry simple but efficient! The design and music are catchy. The characters look fun and add more variation, but I wish that could add more options for the gameplay. I spent a nice time though!
Very original, fun game. I liked the art style and music really added to the mood. A very polished entry.
Enjoyable game! Really liked the aesthetic & mood of it - very well presented! I found the controls to be a tad slow at times, but otherwise great stuff!
Nice mood, although the slow movements are a little hard to use. The health bar is so high it took me nearly two minutes to notice I was being drained by the ground units. It would be helpful if they were more obvious than some little black things on a little black stage.
Pretty funny, but as comments above the movement is very slow.
Good work!
Very fun game. Nice atmosphere but the sound is bit loud.
Good Game
Great game! The concept is new (at least to me), and it's well executed. Nice immersion as well with the black-and-white 50s atmosphere.
I like the slow-paced "idle" gameplay. Who would have thought that destroying a city can be so relaxing...
