Creature Power by Empyrealhell

[raw]
made by Empyrealhell for LD33 (COMPO)
Take control of a can of Creature Power energy drink and wreak as much havoc as you can in two minutes. Create combos to reach as high of a score as possible.

Unleash the beast within!

This game was inspired by fun nonsense games with awkward controls like I Am Bread, Goat Simulator, and QWOP. The controls for this game are intentionally difficult to manage, and that's where most of the fun is supposed to come from. The can uses tank steering controls, allowing you to separately move each side forward or backward. You can also release built-up pressure from inside the can for a quick burst of speed, but much like opening a shaken-up soda, the results can be unpredictable. If you ever get stuck, the reset command should put back in the center of the store so you can keep going.

For those of you who may not get the theme tie-in, the can is a reference to the Monster brand energy drink.

EDIT: Added a WebGL build for those that can't run the plugins, and moved the native builds to a separate link.

You should get at least 20 stars in Audio for that awesome soundtrack!

I couldn't seem to get the can to move from the starting position without using the spray, so hopefully that's intentional. I also had trouble figuring out which side of the can was moved by which control, but I suppose that's also intentional. :P

Wow at the vocal audio! And nice clean 3D assets.

It was almost impossible to control but I had fun with what I could do.
Your use of theme was perfect.

Seemed like a last minute thing for the sound, but actually worked pretty well! Like in a supermarket with radio music. Nicely done!

Hey! You commented in my game "Aye The Destroyer".

I'm just making sure that you know that you can move using WASD. I forgot to tell that in-game. It's now fixed and it should take care of most of the difficulty issue. If you could give me your updated thoughts I would be very glad.

Thank you!

Music is a treat, haha. Controls are difficult at first, but fine once you get the hang of it. Still trying to figure out how you got up to the security camera in that screen shot, though! Fun fun game, much like.

Hahaha, I could barely wrap my mind around the controls. I think you achieved your purpose very well. I spent a lot of the time trapped up against the edge, but otherwise rolling right in and spraying monster juice everywhere is a hilarious concept. Not to mention the grade A acapella! Well done!

I love the literal interpretation of Monster and the a cappella sound track!

Super difficult can skateboarding game.
I somehow managed to get 34,000 points despite me not knowing how to steer the thing at all.
3 cheers for you.

Audio was definitely entertaining. Controls were difficult, but that's why it was fun. Managed to break 30k, but couldn't do any better than that once I fell onto the floor.

Also, thanks for playing Scabs! You found a bug we haven't been able to identify -- but where it crashed on you, that was the end of the game. So you didn't miss anything!

Pretty cool music.
I just wish the monst... I mean creature had some more weight behind it and controls that, while being weird and unpredictable, were responsive and didn't just make me spin in around. That way I could really wreak some havoc.

Nice sandbox physics game, destruction is always fun. Seems hard to smash anything once you end up on the floor though. Love it.

Pretty fun but i feel like i have no control over how it moves, feels like no matter what i press i'm just going to travel in a completely random direction.

Hehe, funny game! Great take on the theme!

I wished there would be more explosions, or generally random things flying across the screen.

I mean this as a compliment: The controls are horrible! :D

The music/sound is also great, by the way!
