[raw]
made by GeeItSomeLaldy for LD33 (COMPO)
There is a giant monster attacking the city! AND THE MONSTER IS YOU!

Guide the poorly drawn Kaiju monster through a gauntlet of tanks, planes and bombers to escape the city!

Use your breath attack or crush enemies under foot with your mighty stomp!

Featuring:
- Poorly drawn monsters with FOUR frames of animation
- 110 seconds of music!
- Fonts!
- Pixel explosions
- Untested Mac and Linux builds!

There are Known Issues with the game:

- Getting hit when crouched throws you out of crouch
- Boss music doesn't play (WebGL only, seems WebGL doesn't handle AudioMixer snapshots properly)

With some Godzilla pane effects, it would be amazing! :)

@Kaev Unity WebGL is really flakey in general. I only put it up for Chrome users, there's a few things in it that don't work at all.

I forgot I could jump, but made it to the final? boss...
Nice animation and effects, quite the retro feel...

At first I found the controls a bit clunky, but after reaching the boss and dying, then reading the description and realising there is a crouch, they make a lot more sense. I especially like the different breath attack when crouched. Despite being simple, the gameplay was fun and charming, and the art wasn't too bad (well, let's be honest, that kaiju is delightfully bad, but I still love him <3).

Very nice! I got smoked by the boss enemy. :)

Mayne it would've been nice to have some kind of crouch or something to avoid missiles flying at head level. That or a little bit more speed.

All in all a fun little game!

Nice little game. Got to the end but got killed by the boss. The pace was a little too slow for me to give it a second shot, but it was fun non the less.

Pretty fun. I wish I could stomp the tanks and bat the planes out of the sky, or at least aim my laser beam. Nice pixel explosions! I like them.

I found it pretty hard to dodge the tank bullets.
The boss was nice, overall pretty fun game. :)

This is one of the more fun games I've played so far!

The only issue is the tanks being nearly impossible to avoid. They should take less hits so a skilled player could easily prevent them from firing

This is the best game I've played so far.

You absolutely nailed combat as a monster. The way all of the projectiles and enemies move is incredible.

I only have a few points of criticism:
1) The pace could be a little faster
2) The building graphics bend and warp as you move. It looks a little bit rough, but depending on the tools used it can be tough to make sure graphics work well in the 48 hour window.
3) Score would be great, a health should play into that at the end, to encourage both complete destruction of enemies, and seeing how little the player can get hit.

Excellent work!

I'd love to play more levels and I would certainly play a full version of this.

A little slow, but it was fun being destroying all the planes and tanks. I do love the ducking animation too.

I got all the way to the boss and the end and died there. It would be useful if you put the keyboard shortcuts in the description here if possible.

Good job. Pew pew!

So this is what I've discovered after reading the comments:
- You can crouch (this is not mentioned in the game's controls section, and is so brokenly powerful against the boss that it's silly)
- The tanks take multiple hits(?) (the whole game I though the hitbox on my laser was really small/random and would only sometimes connect)

This stuff could really be conveyed better. The game seems much stronger now that I realise how it should be played.

The artwork was not the best, and was quite boring in the start but as more tanks and planes came it got better.

Background music works well, simple but passable graphics, reminds me very much of godzilla.

Could do with being a little faster, also, is it possible to get those bomber planes that go over head?

Godzilla came across my mind while thinking of my game idea :)

Felt a little slow to control.

The game is too repetitive and slow paced for my taste - still managed to keep me somewhat entertained until the end. The ending was cool.

I love stomping on air planes. Great game and the end boss fight was awesome!!! (I even died to it on my first go.)

it was a really good game, a simple one. the controls were a bit stiff and the shooting button could have been a little bit faster. The graphics looked great, although the city looked better than the kaiju. the enemies where great.

You can kill tanks by standing far from them and shooting at the highest point of the jump arc :D

Fun little game. It would be nice to be able to move faster. Also, I didn't know we can press down.
But great work ! This is fun to play and the tanks/planes explosions are cool.

Nice silly little game. Bit hard to hit the planes, and I found that crouching to fire the horizontal beam was OP against the boss. But still had fun.

I didn't even realize until the final boss that I could duck. I felt really dumb about that. Great game, well executed, and it seems like you finished everything you set out to. Good all around.
