Also, the left\/right rotations were inverted from what I would have preferred, but I was mostly able to adapt.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Not much gameplay, as had been noted.  Almost gave up before it ended and I realized that there was a timer and a kill count.  (I managed to skip that part of your description above, whoops!)  But even just basic UI elements with those two values on them would have prevented me from thinking I was just running around in a small tech demo with no objective.  The fixed camera made it particularly hard to recognize that there was a moving shadow that could be tracked.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Pleasantly moody music. I want to say that a few sound effects would have added a lot to the experience, but upon reflection, I realize that I felt as though I was watching a silent film, which could actually be a desired aesthetic which could be expanded upon.  Nonetheless, I felt unpleasantly disconnected from the action, needing some additional feedback as I killed the people below the monster.  Especially since I couldn't actually usually see the people below the monster, again due to the fixed camera."},{"author_name":"Goodzilla","author_uid":"58016","time":"Sep 10, 2015 @ 8:35pm","epoch":1441917000,"text":"I liked the music, but it didn't really feel, that relaxing music fits to a scene of a monster killing happy, jumping people. \r<br\/>Noise\/Grain was quite irritating, a bit too much, maybe, but gladly you let us turn it of. \r<br\/>I did like the tentacles though :-)"},{"author_name":"aberdeenphoenix","author_uid":"54767","time":"Sep 11, 2015 @ 1:17pm","epoch":1441977120,"text":"The camera made things difficult, it would be nice to have some camera control with the mouse or something.
