Why bother sleeping?
Cool concept! The movement sensitivity was a bit too high for my taste but I enjoyed swatting out airplanes nonetheless! It seemed like the best strategy was to ignore them and keep spamming the strongest attack though. They also stopped spawning eventually - not sure if I broke them somehow. Fun mechanic nevertheless!
The game has a tendency to crash on browser (Firefox) but I'm not sure what triggers it - I think I accidentally clicked off-window both times it happened? Might want to investigate.
I'm not sure about the sound design - the airplane collisions etc. do their job but charging the attack to max power is unpleasant with the buzzing getting ever louder.
The art is rough but servicable - no issues with readability. The tentacle arms though were done really well!
Good work overall - had a fun time exterminating the Earth. Cool take on the theme!
Controls were a little difficult for me, but I really enjoyed the art and this take on the theme!
interesting controls and concept! pretty cool overall
That's a good idea. Need to fix the cursor out of the screen, very much interferes with the game.
@oldtoadpower I found out that cursor snapping doesn't work in WebGL build. If you care, please try the Desktop version.
Made me laugh, love it. Crashed in my Browser (Brave on OS X) after game over. Controls felt a little bit odd. I enjoyed it more just smashing into things than trying to swat them away. Love your big colourful main character, the sense of scale, and the astronomical creature count down. Great sense of humour.
Great animation and effects! The game crashed for me at the end.
Really funny take on the theme!
Took me a bit till I got the hang of the controls. But when it finally clicked for me, I really had fun (turns out what really makes a girl happy is being able to swat planes out of the sky haha).
After getting a game over, the game crashed for me. Played the web build using Firefox btw
Very fun game! 😄 The concept is really unique and I really enjoyed controlling a huge character and shooting down planes! ✈️ Although the controls are a bit sensitive, it adds to the dynamism. The art style is funny and the animation is just great! 🎨 The only thing that needs to be improved is the stability on the browser, as the game crashed several times. But overall, it was an unforgettable experience! 👏 I love your sense of humor and original approach to the topic! Keep up the good work! 🌟✨
hell yeah ^^ fun game!

Good game! I think this game need more balance. You can just spam energy ball and win. But that sound when charge, ears pain...
The controls remind me of games like Getting Over It's frustrating at first, but once you get used to them, you really feel in control. The idea is nice! The energy ball was tricky though, I didn’t fully understand how to use it. Overall it's a great game!
Cool concept! The gameplay was fun once I got used to the controls. I had a blast swatting planes, but did notice the game crashed after the game over screen (Firefox here too). Love the humor and the big, colorful character! Nice job overall!
@oduvan i have no idea why you guys encounter those crashes, i tested the game on FireFox 131.0 64bit (Windows 10) and for me it worked just fine. What's your OS?
Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!
