Really love the drawing!
The story is touching too, if I had kids I'd have them play it :)

I did not de-monstrate! I crushed their puny little guitars!

Loved it :D

Hm, nice art style and story but the collision is rather frustrating. Would also benefit from the ability to hit downwards and upwards. Still a nice game!

Pros:
I Really liked how you built the tutorial into the game.
Good graphic style.
Liked the eyes following your mouse cursor.
I liked that you had to hold the click to attack, it made it feel far more tactile.

Cons: (two very minor bugs)
Sometimes the depth of the character is wrong and it kinda brakes the immersion.
Managed to get out of the map and walk around.

I really enjoyed this and I think it is a really solid entry.

Hmm, the shift key doesn't do anything for me...

I liked it, but i think it could be a little shorter for what it is. Good job though, I liked the art, the story and that you cam play the instrument with your creepy hands - nice touch.

I would have expected another ending after playing all guitars and not smashing anything/anyone, (expect for the required bushes) is there something else you have to do to properly de-monstrate yourself?

@EVERYONE: Thanks for playing, rating AND commenting! That's huge.

@Eingya: Shift should shift everything else you can do (starting with running).

@Arnage: I am not 100% sure, but it seems smth's working wrong with playing music. Sorry for that.
But a friend of mine said he was walking and chirping all over the place and de-monstrated successfully.

It was a simple and original sketchy game. Love the fact you can whistle and play the guitar at the same time xD or you can just go mad and smash everyone around you until they refugee into the castle and tell their kids! It wasn't the most brilliant one but it sure was amusing.

This is surreal and funny, I enjoyed it. I like the monster design. I played through twice, the second time trying to tickle everyone into the castle, but the two blokes in the top right corner absolutely refused to have any of it, so I wasn't able to finish the game like that.

The depths at which things are drawn are all screwy, it bothered me. For example, losing your legs behind a text box but still seeing your torso, or seeing people's faces through your own face.

Cute entry! Loved the idea, the game mechanic and the execution.
Graphics and SFXs are really well done.

The "tutorial" chars are rendered over the monster though, so it looks a bit weird when you pass under them, but collision/layering issues are just a detail. I also found the "endless-chirping" bug but it kinda fixed itself by playing the guitar, lol.

I really enjoyed this entry. Well done, mate!

On the second run I understood how to whistle, lol :D

I liked most of the drawing even if it became a bit too scabby with the castle. You could have made the game a bit bigger i believe.

Nice art and humour. The dialogue was fun and I liked how you could be a friendly monster. Good work!

Nice game. :) Cute drawings, I had fun. Fits the theme. :)
Somehow I didn't try right-clicking...
Well done!

hahahah, really fun! great drawing, and very humoristic game. The best part is to make the monster sings, hahaha

Right-clicking would always bring up the context menu on the Mac, so I don't know if the webplayer is setup to disable it, but it makes it hard to sing to all the denizens. Thought it was a pretty simple game. Found squishing the round citizens oddly satisfying.
