The Last Little Monster by Chris M

made by Chris M for LD33 (COMPO)
Coarse sketch for a 2D roguelike (no death in this version).

A migrant monster is making its way back through foreign and hostile lands to reach its distant home.

Controls:
WASD or arrow keys.
Up - Jump / Double Jump
Down - Attack
Attack humans and collect coins.
Double Jump expends all your power, allowing you to jump to other planets.

Overall it is a very cheerful game with the fast pace game play and music. I like the little planet idea and the how little monster jumps between planets. This has potentials!

Fun game & nice idea. It goes a little crazy after a while & the humans can be hard to spot, but I enjoyed it.

Huge potential in this. It was so sad to be the last little monster...

Very cute. Shame attacking on certain bumpy places is nearly impossible...

Nice mechanic, but you are not kidding about "distant". I didn't reach it.

I got to the second planet by colliding with too many humans and being thrown into space.
The second planet had a few guys that I couldn't attack no matter what.

I liked the music though.

A game you almost can't stop playing, is a great game. Your game was one of them. Damn it was great. Only thing i don't like is the camera movment on the hilly plants, it made me a little seasick.

SuperCool!!~~ ☆゚Chris~
This game be more fun and grown a lot than when i first saw it at the mannning-center!~
the sense of the attack-operation is interesting , some planets are very challenging~~(I think it may depends on how unevenness of the planet's ground~~ and sometimes is becasue the human's color is same with the house's door,haha~~Did it was intentional?:P)
also,the color matching and fade are Colorful and Dazzling~☆
I'm particularly favored the moment which the camera zoomout when i hit these smallhuman and let them flying~ i feel these energy-balls just like the meteor to delimit the horizon! How beautiful it is~~ the smooth bgm also let it more enjoyable.
I play it with my nephew just now~ he also like it so much~-- esp your great design of cartoon .on the other hand, I feel you game may have some similar charaters with Meditation games, it can get spiritual relaxation.
finally,also sorry for my so lately reply~~ get the link for the first time at the day before yesterday;but was still fighting with myteam's project until last night just got freetime from it ~~
what a good game~~wish you have a good rate and do more cool game next time~~~ Best wishes!

I quite like the simple graphics, they are actually kinda cute in a a way. Also, the jumping and sliding is a sort of combo that you try and keep up is a cool mechanic. Hope you learned some new things from this and can make an awesome game!

It glitched when I double jumped high. But so much potential. Really looking forward to seeing the finished version!

Absolutely adorable and fun. I wish I had a way to track which planets I've been to or have some sort of mini-map to keep track of where I am in the universe. Great look and feel; good job.

Nice Physics here! Also interesting concept. I really like the idea of moving from planet to planet. The web build sometimes drop the framerate but I think it s fine.
