Thought provoking though the lack of interaction or sound hindered my overall experience.

Thought provoking though the lack of interaction or sound hindered my overall experience.
There was somthing odly satisfying about the gameplay. Whilst the art-style wasnt to my personal taste it was well done with great cohesion and impressive amounts of detail for a jam entry. Ambitious entry for a jam that managed to pull it off and be a great deal of fun!
Enjoyed the simplistic gameplay and cute graphics :3
Addictive clicker game with some really nice touches in the graphics that make it pop. Great job.
Amazing fun to play around with the AI and experiment with how to actually be the monster - loved it :D
Loved the art - so cute (and the mood is really captured through some great lighting). Great job on a enjoyable entry :)
Enjoyed messing with the NPCs far, far too much. Enjoyable game with a nice graphics style. Great job!
Steep learning curve but great fun once you got the hang of it :0 Great job!
Simplistic art which captures a suprisingly big mood. Great job.
Cheeky bugger. Really enjoyed the idea, great work :)
Interesting take on the theme :)
The art on this is amazing - really wanted more! Great entry, hope more gets added to expand it out in the future :)
Suprisingly complex game which (once I had waded my way through figuring out what I should be doing) was quite fun. Some tutorialisation or indication on how to get going would be excellent, but even so, solid entry.
Adore the art-style, super cute :)
Tears at my heart strings... so adorable!!!! <3
I cannot get enough of the art in this. Also enjoyed the attention to using audio as que and the easy to pick-up hard to master style of game-play. Great fun :3
LOVE the concept of this and enjoyed playing around with the system :) Super interesting take on the theme too!
Really interesting game! Loved learning the language and interacting with the monsters. Really cute too :3
Enjoyable game - felt like there could have been more urgency / pacing to keep the game fresh but overall fantastic job!
LOVED the intro, theme and music. Great fun :)
Love how fast-paced it is. Really enjoyed the music too!
I would watch this as a TV show. Seriously. The accents absolutely killed me. Great fun. Great job.
Impressed for 4 hours of work - I would love to see what you could have done with 24!
Loved the ambient sounds and the idea - found that the monster moving slowly made some of the levels a tiny bit tedious but great effort and overall outcome :)
Thought provoking game - had to play through twice to really get to the meat of it but now I cant stop thinking about it. Really clever in its execution and I gaurentee I will be thinking about the message and execution of the game for days to come
Brilliant artwork and a super polished piece - truly impressive effort!
Didn't have 4 friends to play with - played with 2 people each controlling 2 trucks. Hilarity ensued.
Insightful game with great art - thoroughly enjoyed playing
Really enjoyed the mood in this with visuals which, whilst simple, are super effective and add to the overall feel of the game. Great job.
Really well written - I tip my hat to you! Great take on the theme with an artful blend of humour and mood :)
Interesting entry! Really enjoyed the artwork
Impressive visuals - would love to see this fleshed out some more after the jam!
Quite frankly this is a masterpiece. I laughed uncontrollably for about 10 minutes as I attempted to create order in some kind of unwieldly monster-hell. Adorable art-style and amazing take on the theme. Great job.
Dat adorable art!!! Awesome to see a multiplayer game too - lots of fun!!
Difficulty seems to ramp quickly but overall I found this super enjoyable. Really great art-style :)
Sound and some polish in the UI would have helped this a lot - interesting concept though!
Ambitious level of narrative for a game jam - felt a little unpolished at times but seriously impressive scope and an interesting take on the theme!
The voiceover and use of unreliable narration was really brilliant - not to mention the super adorable art-style. Great job :)
Ridiculously cute! Great take on the theme with some of the cutest artwork going :) Great job!
Adorable interpretation of the theme :)
Impressive entry! Art: AMAZING. Gameplay: AMAZING FUN if a little challenging. As a scientist I can only hope I meet my end at the hands of an adorable-splatty-making insect like this one. Bravo, A++.
The sound effects are wonderful! (Also a great take on the theme)
Stunning art with great mood - thoroughly enjoyed playing (even if the control system was a little picky at times) :)
Interesting game and especially good for your first LD - great effort!
Interesting concept - would love to see it expanded in the future. Tons of really thought provoking elements and scope for more.
Interesting take on the theme and enjoyable amounts of destruction - would like to see a timer or something else to give some sense of urgency to destroying or escaping :)
Solid, fun little game with a cute art-style. Enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed the upgrade system - lots of fun and banging tunes to boot :)
Difficult to control but fun - love the graphics and think that with a bit of polish / extra time spent on it it could be a great game! Great work.
Nostalgic feel to a difficult but catchily fun game. Great entry (though felt it could use a little balancing to make it less frustrating at the start!)
Whilst the UI was a little wonky at times (the reconquer issue that is mentioned elsewhere) the overall idea for this game is superb. Thoughtful piece which (when the bugs are ironed out) has a great deal of potential.
Fun take on the theme with solid gameplay! Enjoyed it :)
I cant even deal with how awesome the art and music were! Great job, thoroughly enjoyed it.
The art is absolutely gorgeous!!! Srsly. Great cohesion which really adds to the mood. Would love to see this taken further.
Amazingly polished. Captivating mechanics which were equal parts frustratingly difficult and addictive amounts of fun. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Great twist. Interesting take on the theme. Good stuff.
Amazingly beautiful graphics which compliment a great take on the theme. Really polished effort which was challenging and fun!
LOVE the player feedback, art and animations (especially confetti crows!!!!) Brilliant stuff, thoroughly enjoyed playing.
Enjoyed the graphics! Felt like it could have used a little bit of balance at times but overall a fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable entry!
I found this disturbing on so very many levels. 10/10 loved it.
Flatmates came to check that I was ok after they heard screaming. Laughed so hard I almost exploded. 10/10 best control scheme for #LD33. goddam.
I cannot get over how adorably sadistic this game is. The art-style is incredibly polished and the game-play was engaging and fun - with a little bit of work on balance it could be very special! Great job :)
Hilariously frustrating :)
Played this over my morning coffee, which ended up overrunning considerably as I was having too much fun playing this to stop :) Love the polished art-style and catchy game-play (which has a suprising amount of depth and challenge to it). Superb job and great entry.
Although I was a little confused to start with after some playing I started to learn what the various options were - great effort for your first game made (not to mention first LD!) Look forward to you developing your skills and cant wait to see what you deliver in the future.
Simple but potentially interesting. Whilst I wasnt a fan of the art style it was cohesive and tied in well with the rest of the game elements.
Enjoyed the setting and the art :3
Finally, a game that lets me live out my desires to be a chicken overlord. Great job :)
Controls weren't totally apparent straight away but had a lot of fun playing around and figuring out what worked. Fun little game that seems to have a great deal of potential to be turned into something special post-jam
There are no words for how hilarious this is... 10/10
Love the art-style and how much personality the monster had :) I was god-awful at actually throwing villagers but had a great deal of fun trying!
Interesting physics implementation, liked the art-style too!
What can I say... the theme interpretation is god-tier and four points I laughed so hard that I cried. Brilliant work, you truly are the monster :)
Really nice looking game and adored the puns :D
Enjoyed the cute story :)
Super interesting mechanic. Very catchy and challenging. Great job!
Really intersting gameplay (I especially liked the control system and UI) over a cohesive artstyle which creates a great mood!
Super interpretation of the theme with fun, smooth gameplay - great job!
Innovative take on the theme... I... I... I dont even...
Fab graphics - really polished entry!
Surprisingly endearing little game! Could use a little bit of balance work but overall it was a great deal of fun :)
The control scheme was a little bit confusing at times but enjoyable nonetheless :) liked the pace and art of the game!
The gameplay has potential but at the moment runs into a few snags which are a tad frustrating. The art was decent and the explosions were especially well done and I liked that you tied it in with real world events. Solid entry.
LOVE that you did your own narrations and went for some (supprisingly intersting and engaging) narrative in this game - really enjoyed it!
The pixel art is utterly gorgeous! Great job :)
Ambitious project for a game jam - the physics were super interesting! The art style is wonderfully cohesive. Great job :)
Loved the art style and how alive the world felt - very effective. The audio really added to the feel as well. Great use of the theme, a thought provoking entry.
Ridiculous physics which makes for addictive playing - enjoyable / 10
Enjoyable and polished entry :)
Enjoyed the concept and the basic gameplay was fun but I wanted a bit more variation to it. Solid game which with some tweaks could be a ton of fun :)
I can't get over how polished this looks and how amusing I find the title. A++.
Has potential to be fun but found myself getting frustrated with the controls and clipping to the edges of the environments - interesting take on the theme and good effort!
Impressive amount of material for a jam - felt like a fully fleshed and very polished RTS game. Awesome work look forward to seeing more in the future :)
Ridiculously endearing and unwieldy octo-cute :) some backing audio and sound-effects would have upped the cutie / fun factor but overall a very polished entry!
Adorable graphics <3 <3 <3
Fantastic job for a first time entry! Would have liked some increase in difficulty to keep the gameplay fresh but overall enjoyed it :)
Amazingly polished game with a great feel and structure - felt as though there was a sudden jump in difficulty but overall the music was absolutely to die for and the style was breathtaking too.
The puns were top notch. Enjoyed dancing through the labyrinth to the great tunes.
Neat concept and a great first and solo submission, I really like the aesthetic! Unfortunate about those few bugs, but with those fixed and a few more levels I feel it could be really solid.
Felt like some player feedback would have enhanced the experience but overall a solid entry and congrats on your first LD!
Too real :P Loved the theme interpretation!
Very strong entry - addictive but difficult gameplay with lovely visuals and atmospheric audio too!
Great art style :D super polished entry
The switch to 3D was a bit jarring - I LOVED the 2D style :) As others have mentioned the mouse sensitivity was a little high still but overall an impressive entry!
Great mood and writing - super ambitious amount for a jam! Great job :)
Adorable art with a great concept. Very cute!
Nice graphics and nice gameplay. Solid entry.
Adorable art. Glad that you learnt a lot in the process and hope you keep working on it!
Great looking models and loved the voices :) Had fun even though I was awful at dodging :P
Fantastic - loved everything about this, wanted to keep swiping for more lovely encounters. Bravo. Super idea, well executed, in a fun way :) <3
Cute monster graphics and I like the concept. There's not a lot of variation after having played for a little while, but I had fun with it.
Impressive art and audio! Truly great job :)
ADORE the music and idea! Enjoyed playing a ton
Hilariously fun mechanics encased in a simple but attractive graphic world - excellent job, thoroughly enjoyed going on a horrifying destruction spree.
Levels could have used a tiny bit more variation but impressive scale and great overall feel to the game! Really enjoyed it :)
LOVED the use of archaeological material and the intricate way in which the story was interwoven with the players actions. Really impressive entry - one of my faves for sure!
Really great artstyle over a ridiculously difficult but fun game. Loved it!
addictive clicker game with cute interface and graphics
Ridiculously hard but had fun :)
GREAT base mechanics - with a bit of polish this could be a ton of fun :)
Great and easy to pick up game - lots of fun with rewarding feedback. Would love to play this on a tablet. Feels amazing to play with great audio and graphics to back it up. Excellent entry!
Thoughtful game! Took a fair while to get set up with all the printing (you monster) but totally worth it! Interesting stuff :)
So many broken hearts </3 Interesting little game :)
I found this game strangely arousing.
Interesting take on the theme - would have liked some more challenge and variation in the levels!
Note: I am awful at stealth games... This was an incredible challenge for me, but a ton of fun! Solid mechanics with a great deal of challenge.
Enjoyed the sountrack and tempo of the game - was a lot of fuN!
Overall interesting entry - great mood and interesting progression - great job for such a short time!
Quirky and creepy little game with a 10/10 atmosphere. Enjoyed it!
Fun gameplay which with some extra tweaking and levels of complexity could be super addictive and fun to play - fantastic first entry to LD :) keep up the goodwork!
Love the graphics, got super confused quickly but laughed at the transformation and forgot why I was confused. Great job. Enjoyable little game!
10/10 horrifying. Enjoyed thoroughly.
As a NZlander I appreciated this game oh so very, very much. 5 stars.
Interesting and thought provoking entry - enjoyed playing and loved the art-style of the characters
Adore the art on this :D control system took me by surprise to start with but once I was used to it it was a great deal of fun. Seriously good fun with a great aesthetic!
Cute idea that with some more polish and work on the sound could be a really fun, addictive game. Solid entry in any case!
GREAT graphics and interesting use of physics :)
UI was a tad messy but still managed to make my millions and garner that sweet sense of satisfaction.
I just want milk for my monster cereals :'( thoughtful level design and I thoroughly enjoyed switching all the colors :3
LOVE the controls - felt amazing to play. Great, fast-paced action with brilliant graphics and sound. <3 :3
Great deal of fun :D Super smooth control system with nice artwork and gameplay.
Sad that it crashed for me too - overall the art is amazing and the mood is great :)
Loved the challenging gameplay and tiny adorable dinosaur :3 A++ would get frustrated at level 8 any day of the week!
Ridiculously difficult game with a nice take on the theme. Enjoyed getting continuously frustrated A++
Brilliant idea in a nice, polished package. Excellent work!
