I like the game. I firstly dont understood, what i should destroy, but otherwise great job.

The music, art, and overall setting of the game was great! One thing I think could be improved on is making the enemies stand out more, as well as the projectiles! :)

Fun game! reminded me a lot of a certain scene from One Punch Man. It was hard to see the pellets sometimes, but it was super fun once I got the hang of it.

I liked the gameplay! And I loved the music! It's "The Long March" tune as I found out. While playing I thought I'd better protect those people dying because of the monster attack. It seems like a lot of people died there but my magic powers could be enough to kill the monster. = )

For some reason I really really enjoy the clouds XD. It was a bit hard to figure out at first but once you come around it plays nicely.

Wow! I really liked this game! At first I didn't see the stones coming at me but when I noticed it I was like "OMG watch out!" Graphics are nice too. Good job!

It is kind of engaging. The stones are hare to spot sometimes and villagers don't stop shooting even after the monster has been killed. Nice!

I love the concept, the contrast between the giant and villagers. At my first play I didn'tt understood that i can't freeze villagers but only projectiles. The graphics are apealing great game congrats!

Nice! Love the scale! The gameplay kinda reminds me of Missile Command- only cooler because you are a wizard riding a giant! Seemed as though the kinematics kinda broke on the Monster- and the leg was messed up- but maybe that was broken by the stones? I'm not certain. Anyway- great job and thank you for the game!

Loved it! Easy to play and get it, simple but effective pixel art, a good attention to detail, I recommend it!

From the first try :smile: 2020-04-22_20-01-31.png Really liked this game! Also sounds and music are awesome (:

I don't know why the villagers are so horrible to my poor monster. But I crushed them, so we're good. Imaginative concept, great execution. Excellent work.

I loved the pixel art sooo much. So simple, yet so cool. Great concept, fun gameplay.

Sometimes simple just works. It would be a nice mobile game by the way :)

As some other people have already mentioned, it the projectiles could stand out a bit more, but other then that, awesome job! ^_^

i liked the game so much ! the music really fits and the pixel art is on point ! my only complain is that the bullets are so small ! other wise the game is great!!!

Definitely one of the more interesting things to have to keep alive during this jam.

Even though I beat it on my first try, it still felt a bit overwhelming, there is no way to block all the rocks. There also doesn't seem to be a deadzone in front of the monster, so villagers are able to just point blank him.

The art is very charming, especially the monster's walk animation.

Super cool concept. Music, sound effects, pixel art, all comes together in harmony. The giant getting bloodied and damaged with gore is a neat touch vs boring health bar. I beat it first try so appreciate it not being impossible and instead casual and light.
