Yeah the web link is pointing to Twitter. Looks amusing from the screenshots though...
Excellent game. Loved how eating creatures restored your health, it got really intense in later levels because of that mechanic. Graphics, music, everything set a fitting atmosphere.
I also didn't realize about double jumping at first.
Examining the hotdog made me chuckle, nailed it with the theme, fun and humour.
Not sure if it was me doing something silly, but it seemed to take several clicks to break out of the text/convo mode, which was a bit jarring.
Funny and fits the theme well. The idea reminds me a bit of Haunting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5EVBk81UMU&t=6m40s - would be interesting to know what you'd have taken this if you had more time.
Jesus Christ how horrifying. Your score: 42190.
Can't run it :(
Getting this error when I click the .exe: "The procedure entry point __telemetry_main_return trigger could not be located in the dynamic link library *the path to monstershader.exe*"
Also crashing on my system (Windows 10) on the disclaimer screen (unzipped it, hit space, window closes).
Lasted 29 days before I started a war with South Korea. Funniest match-3 game ever and perfect idea for the theme.
In fullscreen mode mouse input had an incorrect offset of about 500px to the right. Also I didn't realize you had to click objects rather than the floor to move, so was confused until I tried windowed mode where it worked.
That aside it was funny and caught the pretentious business mood in every way. The atmospheric office background track was a nice touch. Great job.
Solid gameplay and good graphics + mood using that simple silhouette of the hills. Procedural terrain is also a nice touch, that's something I'll have to try next time.
Got killed by a golden chicken on my first try! Really cute fox sprite and dialogue. Also good amount of content for 48 hours.
I like the camera shake, gives the weapons a nice punchy recoil feel.
Rendered in the web player fine for me with Firefox 40.0. Quite like what you did with the shaders. Also very impressive amount of content for a 48 hour game, but I also found myself getting a bit lost because of that, that's not such a bad thing though.
This also brings back Sim City-like nostalgia for me, pretty funny too.
One of the funniest games so far this jam :)
Good to see another Haxe coder, I see more and more every time.
I've been up for too long... I'm stuck at the bit where you repair the hoverbike. Incredible work though, I like the graphical style.
Really funny, the text attack descriptions were great. Wish there was more though, like a little world map where you attacked human trainers in the grass or something :)
Love the oversize grim reaper/death knight boss, and the knight in his pants was hilarious.
Listening to this in the background whilst playing this :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py0QpvvJl_s
WASD / Arrow keys isn't moving the guy for me using Chrome 44.0.2403.155 m on this page... If I go straight to the game at http://huvaakoodia.github.io/LD33_2015_WEB/ that works though.
Decent idea, shame you didn't have time to add more in the time. I'll be sure to try your post-jam game :)

Took a moment to figure out what was going on, due to the low contrast between things like the path and stuff in the background. Apart from that I really liked it!
GURU by TomenLuca 2015-12-16T15:38:00
Incredibly funny.
The simple pixel art graphics go surprisingly well with the bouncy tweening motion you used a lot. Nice work.
Double Kick Heroes by blackmagic 2015-12-16T12:34:00
Best entry I've seen so far. Literally nothing to criticize, 5/5 through and through.
Lifenodes. by Remicy 2015-12-15T09:54:00
Great mood and perfect fit for the theme. Quite touching too. Nice job!
Super Lefty Garden Fighty by hexagore 2015-12-15T09:49:00
Great scene and mood, solid all round. Impressed by the load time, that's a nice lightweight custom engine.
Only negative is that it froze up at 1hp for me with "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'position' of null" during my first game, but I played more and it was fine.
BEAR by graceavery 2015-12-14T07:05:00
I like the cutesy art style, the contrast with the blood/particle explosions made me laugh out loud when I killed the first bunny. And definitely bonus points for the awful bear puns.
Panda and Squirrel by merrak 2015-12-14T06:55:00
The fast scrolling foreground and all made for a great sense of motion. Cute concept and graphics too.
It's a shame you can't really time your jumps for stuff in the air because of the window size, but it's fun in any case.
