Get Souped! by LChaves

[raw]
made by LChaves for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

HTML version is known to have issues on some browsers. If it comes down to it, you'll need to download the zip :/

Time is running out and the guests are coming, but as it turns out, this soup can't be made by oneself! Run around the city and ask for help, as you try to beat the Guinness World Record™ for the biggest, bestest, tastiest soup yet. Be careful though, some folks are always going to be nasty party-poppers, and will not only sour your soup, but try to prevent others from contributing. The audacity! Given your massive cultural impact and reach as a renowned chef though, you'll surely have a way to deal with those pesky little creatures.

Good luck, and may the best soup win!

PS: This year's theme was soup btw, right?

I hope I understood the idea correctly that we need to boil as many orange guys as possible in the soup %)

The idea and graphics is funny, and the voice acting of the guys is also good.

The premise is cool and funny! I also especially like the music.
It could be because I don't play many games in general, but the way one kills infected was not intuitive and sometimes there are areas I seem to not be able to move to using the WASD keys.
Still had a lot of fun and a great experience overall. Thanks for making this game!

Oh my god this is hilarious, I love it. Godzilla and soup combined? Genius. Squish away!

Incredibly wacky premise (in a good way), nothing like tossing dudes into soup while dealing with a zombie outbreak as godzilla. At some point I was so busy squashing zombies that I could barely focus on the main objective lol. Also, the idea of squashing buildings just to get more people out on the street is brilliant. 10/10 would soup again.

I do not know what else to say except that this is a very cute game that fits perfectly into the theme and is a pleasure to play

I GOT SOUPED.

The moment I threw an orange person into the soup, the game instantly became GOTY material. Smashing buildings, crushing the infected and throwing innocent bystanders into the soup is hectic and hilarious. Such a fun and goofy game, genuinely a great time! :heart:

Hahahah I love this game! A very interesting and creative idea! Little citizens are so cute and I have to pull them into the soap, which gives me a sence of satisfaction (lol). The Map is also incredible to me, which can change depending on the Angle of view! (BTW, I also have a jam work. If you can have a try and leave some suggestions, we will be very grateful! THX! :smiley: )

There's always something fun about being a big monster stomping on buildings (even though that wasn't the main point). Agreed with others that I sometimes forgot the main objective was to get people in the soup and not just stomp infected people though. Cute designs for the monster too!

very fun game, very inspired and fitting take on the theme. I really liked the artstyle, it's what caught my eye. I also liked that the little guys say yippie everytime

Gameplay loop is fun, controls feel polished, I like the balance between keeping the citizens not infected and preventing the infected from getting in the soup. I don't seem to be very good at the game I can't get more than a C rank, maybe with some practice I can get better at it haha

good entry!

Lovely graphics, really like the style you went with. From UI to gameplay everything felt very juicy and polished.

Chrome and Safari couldn't load the WebGL version and gave this error:

`Failed to read the 'serviceWorker' property from 'Navigator': Service worker is disabled because the context is sandboxed and lacks the 'allow-same-origin' flag.`

Thankfully Firefox loaded the game fine, and had no glaring issues other than a glitch that caused the soup in the game world to appear as a black box xd.

Very nice entry overall, keep up the great work y'all!

It's hilarious and I like how you changed the perspective of tiny creatures, but it needs a bit more balancing, it's almost impossible to get anything done with so much going on at the same time. Yet the Godzilla is very cute 😎
