Loads of fun, great theme interpretation, great optics (Especially the evolve animation).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Only problem is that sometimes it feels like you couldn't have done anything to avoid damage:\r<br\/>\r<br\/> - Depending on where a helicopter drops a bomb, it is impossible to dodge it.\r<br\/> - Dragons seem to have inconsistent fire speed and sometimes they fire so fast that you can't &quot;fit between shots&quot;.\r<br\/> - Collision detection feels very unforgiving. Everything gives you full damage even if it seems to miss or just graze your legs.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The running bombs are great because whenever you eat one it was entirely your own fault."},{"author_name":"colludium","author_uid":"28437","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 3:29pm","epoch":1398698640,"text":"Superman deserved it!"},{"author_name":"enepomnyaschih","author_uid":"16696","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 4:24pm","epoch":1398701940,"text":"Nice game!"},{"author_name":"seantheartist","author_uid":"31255","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 6:08pm","epoch":1398708180,"text":"Super cool game, easy to understand and fun to play.

So emotional~ Great monster design, and an awesome interpretation of the theme!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really liked this game. It was hard, but I eventually was able to get the hang of the rhythm of it; I particularly liked how you added a couple of confusing inputs, so I didn't just run around eating absolutely everything without thinking about it (I tried licking the bombs, the helicopters, the dragons, the bombs walking around on the ground...)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Pretty much the only thing missing is a soundtrack, though at this point I feel like that might be something of a genre convention... ?  I feel like there's a lot of these games involving monsters and killing things (albeit generally not from the perspective of the monster) that are SFX only. So, iffy on it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, thanks for the game!"},{"author_name":"wschorn","author_uid":"36225","time":"May 5, 2014 @ 12:09pm","epoch":1399291440,"text":"shweet. needs more birds and less missles to start out. i want to constantly suck in both damage AND people like a bada** monster"},{"author_name":"atomic_swerve","author_uid":"13374","time":"May 6, 2014 @ 1:19am","epoch":1399338840,"text":"I liked it!
