Nomzilla: Munching Mayhem by PixlWalkr

[raw]
made by PixlWalkr for LD33 (COMPO)
Don't let the corrupted Humans celebrate their monster hunting festival, Enter their town and start a mayhem!

Controls:
WASD or Arrow Keys to move
P - Pause
M - Mute
R - Restart

I cut some planned features and didn't implement some art mockups because I ran out of time.
Sorry about the short BGM loop, I really didn't have that much experience in making game audio.

Note: The pixel art may not be that sharp if played in the embedded player above.

Great game! I especially like the cute monster. Noticed the problem with the shadows on the buildings. Could've used more effects and sounds but hey it's a jam game. The point is having fun and I did. Great job!

This is simple but nicely executed. Graphics are funny and cool. I like to hide from soldier and catch them when they can't see me. Good job !

Tricking the soldiers and dodging their arrows was pretty entertaining. Sneaky villagers running to the alley, nomzilla will hunt you down!

This would be a neat game to develop further post comp. I think the controls /animations could use a little bit of work. I felt like it needed an up/down animation since you had a 2.5D feel to the game. Also, you could walk "in-front" of the houses, but not behind. It would be a simple fix to adjust the collision boxes of the houses. This would make for a nice twist of having people hiding behind the houses.

Nom-nom-nom!
What more to ask than a big (cute) monster, some innocents citizens and a big map? Kept me entertained for quite a while. The graphics are very well done.

Pretty nice! The graphics were great, and the people running around added a humorous touch. I do think it would be nice if there was a little more to the game, but it's great for 48 hours. Also, as it's hosted on Newgrounds, it's just begging for a leaderboard. ;) 4/5

SO CUTE. SO WELL MADE. I included it in part 5 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/UXRiA5Goh28

It was fun for a while. Nothing quite as satisfying as happening across a pocket of stragglers and getting like a dozen points in one gulp.

The art is amazing! The sounds work well, but the background music could have used some small variations. The gameplay is simple, but it works well and is fun to play :) Good job!

I had a good time playing at your game :) Maybe you can add some difficulty later, like other ennemies and stuff. But it's pretty cool right now. (good idea to put the scores at the end, we want to increase ours hahaha)

Nice simple game. Cool graphics and audio. Nothing much to do, since at least eating people could have increased health, even by a tiny bit. But still, good, the highscore method had the people rolling in, and that gave you good views. nice entry.

I really liked the animations. Very well done. There was something with the how the difficulty ramped though that made me loose interest in getting the high score after a while of playing without getting hit, so I just went around eating and not bothering too much about losing health. Maybe the enemies were too easy/and hard to know if they were armed or had thrown their spear or it was that they did too little damage at a time. Something in it could be tweaked though, to keep the player a little more on the edge.

But other than that, a good game!

That was quite fun. I liked the execution and the idea, but I felt it could do with something to make it feel more hectic. Currently it was a game that felt like it should be played in a hurry, but had a mechanic where by you could get hugely higher scores by being patient.

Then again, the graphics are lovely.

Nom nom. Would have been nice with a bit more variation or an increase in difficulty, but it was a bit hard to dodge those arrows. (Are you calling me fat?)

Pretty short but quite fun. The BGM loop's not bad either. Love the art style though (sort of reminds me of Scribblenauts for some reason).

Got a score off 88, thought I did well until I saw the leader board.
Love the art and the casual look on the monsters face :D

This was really fun! The art was really well done and had a cute style. Funnest part was moving around the buildings to sneak up on the archers.
