Slightly different take on the last stand/horde theme - 48 seconds was the best I could manage. Fitting music and decent graphics. Thumbs up!

37 sec. I dig the music a lot!

Nice game that fits the theme.Music is good. I like that the game it's not very challenging. Good job! Keep doing games.

Cool idea

Fun, quick game. Suprisingly athmospheric!

@victorcrafty Ha, yes, when you figure out the way to approach it, the game becomes easy. I just hope it takes a few times for most to find it out :smile:

after 40 seconds. The first thing that caught my attention was the vehicle with which this game was delivered. A custom website, dedicated for the game. A+ The content is all very detailed from the story, to the music (v nice job) and the graphics. I still don't quite understand how you animated the mother goo, but alas it is a nice animation. The coolest part is the concept, which I don't think I've explored fully so I will have to come back and try again later. But at the moment I can still say the mechanics are interesting, and I'd like to know if anyone has survived for over a minute...

@michael-feldman Thanks a lot for playing and for your review! I created all animations for the game by creating a model in blender, animating it and exporting the frames as pngs, then stitching them together and looping over the frames in the javascript of the game. The mother goo is actually an ocean simulation applied to a half-sphere :smile:

Spoiler ahead: It is possible to survive longer than a minute. It is even possible to win the game! Might take a couple tries until you figure out the best strategy :smile:

Great job, @derpylz! You nailed the theme, and I loved the concept, the intro, the music, and the gameplay mechanic. I tried hard but I couldn't get past 44 seconds, I bookedmarked it though so I can come back. ;)

Great work! I beat the game on the third try. Once you understand how it works it pretty easy to build up a wall of lumps, then you just have to maintain it while building up you're own health. :smile:

Pretty difficult game with simple mechanics. Sounds and music fit the game well too! The enemies build up pretty quick and I didn't last long, but it was enjoyable! I'd recommend powerups or other ways for the player to gain health back since once you take a few shots you basically have to wait for death.

I couldn't figure out how to win, lol. Oh well. Neat concept, plays alright. Maybe it would've been better if there was some explanation of the strategy for us dimwits 'cause it just seemed like the intro described to me. Speaking of the intro, man, maybe keep it a bit shorter. Wish the game had more sound effects for what was going on.
