Interesting idea, I like the sound effect, and most of all the implementation of the tentacles (what did you use for that?) . Great effort !

@tomeks I didn't use any libraries, it's just plain JavaScript. By the way did you rate it? Because I notice you praised the audio, but I've only received one rating and that one gave 1 for audio :sweat_smile:

@bemmu I did, the number you see is the total amount of votes received in that category, not the actual score, the score will be available after the voting period is over

@tomeks Oh thanks for telling me that, here I was thinking someone just really really hated it :v:

Nice idea - in line with the theme. Annoyingly sticky tentacles... :) I would like the monster to catch food mid-air when thrown at it...

Love the tentacles, I couldn't jump high enough to reach the platforms though. Is this intentional, or am I missing something? Love the theme!

@stevis93 Wow, thanks for mentioning that. Turns out I forgot to take into account the time elapsed between frames when adding gravity. So on faster computers you couldn't jump as high. I think we're allowed bugfixes, so fixing that now.

It was soo satisfying taking away bad things from the monster's hands. Very fun!

Fun little game, movement was smooth and I got the hang of the game quite fast. Not too easy and not too difficult :)

Love the idea, and it's really fun. It took me a minute to realize I'm not controlling the tentacle monster, and it's kinda difficult tor grab stuff out of his tentacles. Otherwise, excellent game!

Man, this is great. On first play i killed it with cold blood, then was like, wow, I need to keep it from eating bad stuff.
Game is cool, really cool. And special + from me for pure JS. I did my first LD44 game also like this :D

Fun. I really liked how hectic it got really quickly and how the better you're doing the bigger the monster so the harder it is for it not to pick up a bad item. Nice job!

Nice game ! I may have enjoyed killing my pet, but it was fun !

Haha I had a fun time playing it ! Very original and clever idea !

cool!

I really like this, what a great idea! I like how he grows, and his tentacles are awesome. I wish there was a way to permanently destroy unwanted stuff because it gets pretty crowded, but it was fun!

Pretty fun game! I did not know parenting was that hard xD but hey, I won ^^

Very well done, it is a nice browser game, the graphics are cool and the sound design is good! The controls are also great! It might just lack of some random events or something like that to surprise the players, because the game becomes a routine at some point.

Cool game! I like the core loop. I wish it was a little easier to get rid of the bad stuff like bombs. Nice work here!

Hey, nice game ! Not a big fan of the sound effects thought (sorry :) ). Apart from that, love the tentacle animation that's really cool, else it's quite clean !

Noooo, poor baby monster, why do you keep on eating nuclear stuff?

Very funny game! I managed to make him reach 80% potential before he decided a dynamite stick was healthier than grapes. God damn it.
Graphics are really cute, audio is good, controls are nice, and the idea is really well implemented. I had a really fun time with this one!

Definitively a super nice game. Congrats!

Nice work with the tutorial and the simple mechanics.
About the graphics The colors of the tentacles hurted a little bit my eyes, but I'll recover :P
overall is a well size game for a game jam. Congratulations!

This was hilarious! The facial expression on the alien was marvelous, and the gameplay was wacky and wild! Excellent work. one of the most fun games I've played this LD.

Nice take on the theme :slight_smile: The controls feel good! Some music would be nice, but then again you only had 48 hours so I am impressed anyway :shrug:
