MONSTER CANNON! by grywhttl

made by grywhttl for LD32 (JAM)

MONSTER CANNON!

Rumor has it the inhabitants of the next city over have built a Monster Cannon!
We'll use our own Monster Cannon to cannon them with monsters!

---

NOTES:
Didn't have time to implement the planned gameplay, this is more of a work-in-progress than a fully playable game.
Another 3 days would've been handy!

This is pretty great. I enjoy the art style and references to movie monsters. Aiming the cannon feels a bit weird though.

It was fairly fun. I enjoyed how the monsters balled up while in the air.

I like how the launched monsters are recognizable creatures from the Godzilla franchise! The graphics and camera movement are really crisp, sweet game

I really like the graphics and the types of creatures that get shot out of the cannon! It was a bit hard to control the direction of the cannon, the sensitivity felt a bit high. Well done!

Looks good, but found the controls hard to use.

I like the style, and the monsters are cool, I wish there was more of them! Nice Job

Simple game and concept, but it was fun and really nicely made. I love the design. Good job

Lovely graphics and animation. Some quick hints on how to control the cannon would have helped but it wasn't too hard to figure out :) This has a lot of promise. Great work!

Cool game, the art work really well, the gameplay too, i think it will port really well to mobile. the thing that was missing for me is some kind of marking to tell me what was my last shot ( maybe a dot to where my cursor was?) because the camera movement and time between two shot is quite long and i was always forgeting the exact position.

I really like the idea of firing mystical beasts out of a cannon to destroy a competing city.

I see you with the Mothra & Godzilla references! Good stuff, lol. The cannon aiming & power could use a bit of refinement, but other than that, nice work!

Awesome graphics and fun gameplay. The controls felt a little awkward (I tried aiming from the front) and you had to be very accurate to actually hit the other guy, but it was still heaps of fun.

this was great! aiming was wonky but the core game was great - would love to see more work on this

Lovely graphical style - this could turn out really nice if given more work.

wow, nice game here! Reminded me (a little) of Rampage :) But it is a litte hard to move the canon

I always hated this cannon like games, yet you made it absolutely adorable, so I finished the whole game (I lost :( ) and changed my opinion on cannon like games :D

That's amazing! Love the cannonball animation. Great art style. Destructable building! Would be great with a 2-player mode

Neat idea and great artstyle but the aiming made the game less enjoyable unfortunately

Art style was really cool. The game felt pretty nice, but I didn't really feel a point to playing past the first stage.

Some more sound work would have made this game go much further!

Simple concept executed well. Loved your limited sound effects and art style.

Excellent work tying the gfx/sfx to the arc/firing. The blocky style works well here.
