Kerberos by lcarpentier
Hades Trump left hell to run for president and forgot to lock the doors!
Play as Kerberos, the mighty hellhound, half wolf, half bulldog, half corgi and use all of your three heads to keep souls from escaping.
Lateral heads can bite and the central one can shoot a fireball.
Use your mouse to control the hound, F and H keys to grab a bite and G to throw a fireball.
Fireball score 20% less points than bites.
The sooner you catch a soul, the more points you collect.
Made with Construct 2 (free version). I had no prior experience with it and wanted to check by myself what I could achieve with just youtube tutorials and visual programming.
Other tools include Hexels and Paint.net for the art
All sound effect are hand-made. Well, mouth made. Software: audacity.

Well done!
I never was able to bite the head off of a soul- which I tried to do and I guess should of just stuck with the demon fire ball move thing. ;)
The game was quite hard to control. If you choose to take it further, I'd focus on the controls, so that they're as smooth and fun as possible. Maybe add a bit of momentum. And give the heads a bit more range.
But come on, considering you had no prior experience with the engine, this is amazing.
I found the controls to be very finicky, but that's mostly because I am using a touchpad. Having to constantly click is really difficult.
Anyway, congrats on your entry!
This was enjoyable to play -- the wheee sounds are hilarious :)
Perhaps it would've been nicer if the waves were a bit shorter, for more variety.
Doesn't work for me with firefox but it's ok on chrome. And where is the woodman you promise ? ;)
The audio and graphics were nice though. Congrats on the entry!
Gameplay wise, my brain couldn't tell which button needed to be pressed (idiocy on my part), so I began just spamming F, G and H, which then turned the game into a kind of endurance test to see how long I could spam :)
Just a lazy git, I am.
