An Evil Giant Monster by elxris

[raw]
made by elxris for LD25 (JAM)
It's a quick game to crush cars with a dinosaur, or a robot crush rabbits.

Game made by ElXris (Programming and Art) and Consalvo (Sounds and Art).

###Interesting points about the game.
It has no image file.
No external libraries was used.
If you look at the source code you will find that the drawings are like maps of numbers. All in plain text.
We spent over 30 hours.
It's my second entry and my brother helped me with the sound.

###Post Compo version includes:
A new stage, WITH GOATS!
A new system to display randomly generated backgrounds.

I liked it, it wouldn't work at first, but after a while it worked fine and was somewhat fun...Good job

Hope you liked the graphics. There is not a single image file in my game, all are like maps.

Loved the graphics. However, it did take a while for me to realize that the robots leg was lifting then dropping. Loved crushing those cars with that dinosaur.

As simple as it was, I found it oddly satisfying.

This was kinda fun, doesn't feel like I was losing. It's got that atari feel to it. I can see this being a nice little mobile app too.

I like the idea of a mini-sized game like this. Seems interesting to put it into a website header or something for laughs. :)

While crushing cars was satisfying, I found the gameplay a bit too simple. It's really more of a toy than a game.

Nice little game. For some reason I found playing as the robot harder than the dinosaur.

Very retro :) I really like this artstyle. Not really challenging, though

I don't really understand your heart system but anyway it's cool to control 2 monsters.

Nice graphics!
At first I didn't understand the second monster, but then I realized it was all about the timing :)
I like thet fact that you do a post-compo version as well

graphics are awesome, gameplay is simple but somehow I always die in the robot level.

Fun concept for a full game. Auto-runner with giant villain crushing things with feet. So, good little 48hr prototype. Could think about extending it into a larger game now. Liked the art and general idea.

Clicking/pressing Space/R at the beginning does nothing.
