I played this (a few times) a few days ago and managed to find an almost pacifist path to the keys if you walk along right at the bottom of the screen and I really liked that it could be possible to play this in this way so if you ever intend to work further on the game then a pacifist challenge would be quite fun. However, the sound design is so good that stomping around the city ended up feeling incredibly satisfying (sorry pixel people!) and I enjoyed doing that too, as well as all the little comments your kaiju makes while trying to tiptoe around. Really, really great game for such a simple premise and the lack of time you had to devote to it. Well done! (I love the art and animation too, of course!)

Thanks so much, Mandy! πŸ™πŸ˜„ I love the idea of a pacifist path and would like to add it if I do more on the game - keeping a running list of tweaks and additions. Thanks for the props re sound design. For what it’s worth I made it so you can’t squash the pixel peeps lol, they kind of bounce away from Kaiju’s big stomping feet. πŸ˜… Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to play through it πŸ™Œ

I know! For "research purposes" I tried to stomp a few people and saw they were safe, which I thought was a nice touch. What I meant in terms of sorry was that I'm stomping their town to bits and I'm enjoying it and this is right after I've just played a few times as a pacifist and discovered it's possible! (Guess that made me the monster....)

Developer(+1)

Ah yes, I get you. I also feel sorry for stomping their city. Though with what happened 400 years ago, one would imagine the KiffLandians have taken out proper Kaiju insurance πŸ™οΈπŸ¦–πŸ™οΈ

Love the commentry and the destruction + carnage haha, super impressive for a solo dev! Well done!

I like this game, my favourite is when he breaks all the things. 

Developer

Thank you boet - I appreciate your video review, that was generous yet fair. 
I too like the part where he breaks all the things and then says 'soz'.

I love it when a clumsy kaiju rampages through a city.

The style works together quite well.

Developer

The humour of this is so so good. Hahah love all the dialogue and the idea of it. Great execution, well done! 

Developer

Hey, thanks Greg, and props to your game - people really respond to your body mod engine! πŸ˜†

Did he just, lol...I love this.

What would make it even funnier is mechanics like coughing or choking, which would trigger Godzilla-like effects.
Coughing would maybe trigger fireballs. Choking would be lasers, and you would have to spam a button to stop him from doing that while he is destroying the surrounding city, etc. 
Just an Idea. to make the game more challenging.

But from start to finish, the game is polished and straight to the point, Amazing.

Developer

Ha!! Fun ideas! πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ”₯πŸ¦– Thank you for the kind words! πŸ™

Really well, done. Loved the animations! That shrug at the end looking at the camera XD

We played it! Here's our feedback commentary.  

Developer

Ha, love it! πŸ˜† 'A comic panel/newspaper doodle of a game' is perfect πŸ‘Œ

I had such a fun time with this polite kaiju haha! I love that it's short and has a punchline at the end. It would be cool to see a score at the end of how much public property you destroyed!

Developer

Thanks, Rambelles πŸ™πŸ˜β€οΈ Might include a score in a future update - at least, keeping a list of possible updated/additions if I ever do more on the game πŸ™Œ

So funny and cute! I loved the animations so much, especially the hat hopping

The dialogue was great haha! the simple art style does make it lack a bit of detail at times but the goofy animations made up for it. A very satisfying and crunchy game to play. I think all the destruction was worth it for my car keys. With a full story and more varied destruction I could see this going a long way!

Developer

Thank you vaultrobber πŸ™πŸ™Œ

Love the art and animations, there's so much life in everything! Really nice short and sweet game with good humour. Well done!

Developer

Thanks so much talitoken! πŸ™

The animations in this are incredible -- I particularly like the goofy walk of the kaiju. It was great fun to indiscriminately destroy buildings as I proceeded towards my goal, and I enjoyed the little apologies I offered to the townsfolk.

I'd have liked to have gotten some kind of score / destruction counter or something for my troubles. I also tried in a second attempt to destroy as little as possible by weaving through the gaps where I could (and using the space at the bottom to avoid most of the big stuff), hoping to get a different ending, but alas.

It feels like there was some potential of making this a game about trying to avoid buildings in a tightly packed city, but also, the destruction is the fun part, so I don't know if that would've been good even, so maybe this is a moot point.

Anyway, nice game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for this well-constructed feedback, Jaco!
I love the idea of providing an alternate ending if the player manages to find the 'path of peace' πŸ˜„ 
Keeping a list of possible updates if I do more on it. 
So pleased you played it, dankie.

Wow this is a fantastic little game, I can't believe how quality everything feels.
10/10

Thank you Omen - v kind πŸ™

Nice game, I went with a similar idea for the game jam but you knocked this out of the park. I should hang my head in shame :D

Well done, I am amazed with how much you achieved with the very few pixels you have used. The people running around in panic is epic. Good job!

Hey, thanks so much Pekel. Tbh was thinking of doing a fairly serious social commentary thing but then just started arbing around in Aseprite for fun. Pleased I did, way β€˜lighter’ than the alternative πŸ˜… I enjoyed your game!

OooooooooOOOOOOooooooHHHHH!!!!! Amazing spectacular incredible beautiful awesome genius and all around clever!! Can't sing the praises enough, incredibly polished and an absolute delight 100/10

Wow wow wow, thanks so much Lean n Green! πŸ€©πŸ˜†πŸ™β€οΈ
