Cute little clicker. The golden skulls that pop up for bonus points are a nice touch. All hail Num.

Fun game and cool idea! As another comment said, definitely need a way to release stuff or it takes forever for your tentacle to come back.
Interesting take on flappy bird, but as others have said the spikes and building placement can be pretty unforgiving. I like that the monster gets more excited as he runs faster.
Interesting take on the theme, not much to it unfortunately.
Fun little game! Sneaking doesn't seem to help much, especially where it's first introduced when you have to jump over the block and scare the guy off, but overall pretty good!
I just want to say that I had this exact same idea. But I'm incredibly glad I didn't go for it, because it wouldn't have been even close to this. Really fun, the controls are loose but in a good, challenging way. Artwork is incredible, audio is great, really not much more for me to say other than that so far, this is absolutely my favorite game of the jam.
Also, I set the world record at 101 before I voluntarily smashed myself into trees over and over to deplete my energy to give other people a shot. :)
My biggest tip for catching skiers is to follow THEIR ski tracks. Skiers will generally avoid trees, so instead of trying to move towards them directly, follow the path they're taking and you will have an easier time avoiding trees. You move faster than they do, so even if you're not cutting through trees you'll still be able to catch up.
This is ridiculous, no idea how you accomplished this in 2 days. Nabbing the source on this one. Incredible work.
Really creative idea, and well-executed. Only thing is I sometimes couldn't tell when I would be allowed to go to certain floors. If two passengers want to go to different floors, sometimes I would be forced to go to one or the other floor first, which might cut down on my inefficiency. Also, sometimes it seemed like I could go pick up other passengers when I already had one, and other times it seemed like I had to go drop my current passenger off first. These two issues might have to do with the destination floor being between my location and my desired destination, but I wasn't able to figure out the rules quickly.
Kinda confusing at first but eventually figured it out and was able to restore glory to the Thatcher line once more.
Getting a "Failed to download data file" error from unity player in IE.
Not really sure what the different options do or how to play effectively. I destroyed some villages and I think I died a few times, not sure. I understand there's not time for a tutorial in game, but you should probably put some info in the description to help people out.
fuck this, tinko op
Cool game. As others mentioned, controls are difficult to get used to, but that's the point. Simple and polished, good job.
Haha neat little game. :)
Cool game, but tough!
Quite fun! I enjoyed smashing the buildings and people to bits. I only wish I knew how to restore my health! He keeps saying "I must find food!" but I don't know where to find it. I got all the abilities but couldn't get to the king. Great job!
This game is awesome, that's all there is to it. Great job.
It's definitely tough being the tank! During dev it seemed tough to win as the monster, so I increased his speed just a little bit. As the tank you really have to keep your distance and control the monster's movement by forcing him to avoid your shots.
One thing I wanted to do but didn't have enough time (personal stuff came up towards the end of the compo) was to allow the players to adjust the difficulty by raising/lowering the monster's HP. Ahh well!
Thanks for checking it out, and to everyone else who seems to have enjoyed it so far as well! :)
Cool game, tough boss!
What an odd, but fun, game.
3930, Moby Dick! Simple and fun game.
