Gorgezilla by Jelinib

[raw]
made by Jelinib for LD33 (COMPO)
Engorge yourself to the all-you-can-eat buffet of city people to stay alive!
Fling them out of buildings if you must!

SPACE to take a step (for moving forward, one step at a time)
UP for a high chomp (for taking down helicopters)
RIGHT for a mid chomp (for busting down buildings and finding the people)
DOWN for a low chomp (for eating people and destroying tanks)

=========WEB ISSUES=========
The audio seems to be much softer in the HTML5 build. For the best worst audio, try the standalone version. Thanks! (I have no idea if the Mac or Linux builds work, but I tried)

---

If you are experiencing issues with the space/arrow keys messing with the page on the HTML5/WebGL build, I shall offer these generic maybe-workarounds to try in case one of them works:
- Hit the full screen button
- Try a different browser (Firefox is my go-to for this)
- Try the Unity3D player (must use a browser other than Chrome unless you have NPAPI enabled)
- Try a standalone build
- Wait for me to change the controls in a new version after judging is over, LOL
- I have no idea what else can be done. Give me ideas if you know anything!

I can't test these solutions myself since I didn't experience this issue to such a degree (using Chrome yesterday, the game's "frame" remained stationary while the page still moved around behind it--but today it's not doing that anymore, page is totally stationary, whaaaaaaaat, I don't get it. Computers are weird)

Thanks for playing (or at least trying)!

Fun Game. Made me think of Rampage if it was a side-scroller. Controls are a bit funky but once you get used to it the game is easier.

I really liked the control scheme, seems like it would be a great fit for a controller.

Control does not work properly in the web version. Arrows and space affect the page instead of the game.

Windows version is asking for a .dat that isn't included.

The game looks fun, so I'll check this page for fixes.

The controls were interesting, and the graphics and animation were simple but well done.

Oh snap, thanks for the heads up TerraCottaFrog! I've updated Windows link so that it now includes the Data folder I overlooked. Hope it's A-OK now! :)

Looks really cool, but the controls weren't working for me in the web version :(

Definitely reminded me of rampage too! Lots of cool animations in this.

This game was really cool. Loved the monster and the game mechanics! I went ahead and submitted my score, doubt it's going to stay at that rank for long. The art was also really cool and had some silly animations. :D

Everything felt so silly, I love it!

WebGL version wasn't receiving input, so I had to download the Windows version.

This is a really fun and unique game!

The controls would be little better in my opinion if space were forwards attack the right were move, but that's just personal taste. I know it would be less consistent, but I think it would improve the game.

Good work!

I really like the instruction screen for some reason. It looked good.

This was fun, and the walk animation made me laugh :) Had an interesting meta game where pushing up and down also scrolled the webpage so I had to keep the game in view while still playing it ;)

This was a nice cathartic game after a long day, and very funny too. I did specially like that you had to be pretty frantic with the controls to stay ahead on health, so the challenge was pretty balanced. The game is also pretty funny, and while I initially though the controls where space is movement and the arrow keys were actions would be kind of messy, it did actually work well.

My highscore was about 18,100 or 181,000 (it disappeared quickly because I was mashing space when I died).

Funny! I think the monster walking need some improvement, though... It's a bit clunky, in my opinion. Maybe bigger steps?
Good game overall.

Wow, very funny and playable game! It is a shame I almost all the time missed my score, because I was clicking spacebar too rapidly :)

I am giving you high scores on this one because I really enjoyed all aspects of the game. Very nice. The sound could be better. I wouldn't have used music as background but nice spooky sounds.

Hey guys, I just fixed the bug where the spacebar automatically hits the Retry button. Let me know if I messed up any of the builds!

Thanks everybody for the comments, the input, and for playing! :)

Hey man! What a brilliant concept and game! Best concept ever :D

I loved the silly walk and the people screaming. They cracked me up! All the derpyness that I missed is here. Nice going!

The game is fun, but controls must be reworked. BTW, be sure to check Days of Monsters flash game.

A bit hard control, and it's almost funny, but i've seen this theme lots of times

Interesting control scheme in a tried and true rampage game. Eating the tanks is totally pointless though, which could be seen as a design flaw. I'm a total sucker for games with highscores though and seeing as how a simple decision of just letting a tank shoot you will actually BOOST your score made it actually more interesting on some level. The silly aesthetic is a nice contrast to the rather gorey gameplay.

The keys used, while logical are a bit unwieldy, I would've probably used left, up and right instead. There's plenty of content for a compo entry, but as it is it gets stale pretty fast. Random powerups and/or collectibles would've been a cool addition!

Good game. I usually dont like button mashing, but for some reason I like it this time. Well done.

Quite hard, but very enjoyable. Loved the walk animation.

Haha, very funny. I like the difference bass sounds for the different feet!

It's a bit hard and too hactiv for my taste, but it looks amazingly hilarious.

Silly little game, controls were a bit awkward though.

The control is kind of a hard to get get used to at first. Had some fun factor to it. Good job!

Cute little game, I like how the dinosaur gets bigger the more people you eat. Takes a while for the difficulty to get any higher (if it does?) so it can get a bit repetitive.

Thank you for your extensive review on our game! Your issue must have been a Chrome related browser error. We haven't come across that issue yet in Safari, Firefox, and IE. We realized how clunky the control layouts were after submission and instead, should have went with A-S-D-F key-layout for player one and J-K-L-; for player two.

We will fix that along with music-beat synchronization, and a few other polishing touches before sending it out on our website or possible free app release.

Cheers,

Great fun. The tanks would sometimes be behind the mouth before they got eaten, but other than that I loved it.

After reading descriptions i was expecting something like QWOP monster edition :)
Anyway game was pretty entertaining to play, it actually requires good reflexes and ability to quickly make decisions (quickly going forward, destroying building -quick break to chomp helicopter, continue destroying building and now chomp any slow pokes who didn't run fast enough).
I like this light / more humorous approach on the theme, well done!

Really nice game! It's really fun ^^~ A bit hard for me though, since you can't dodge and humans escape quite fast xp Although I don't really like button masher I liked the controls! Graphics and audio were very nice too! All added to the "silly" mood xp A lot of work was done~! Congratz!!

This is super fun and amusing, great job ! It feels like all the good bits from Rampage, without the spongy controls that made Rampage a little frustrating at times. Would translate well to mobile.

I downloaded the windows version because the input does not work for me in the browser version.
