I find the game boring. No enemies that menace the monster? Destroy trees and buildings and eat people are only walk over? This game need more work to be funny.

Also, the control have serious problems. If I release left/right buttons while press up/down, the monster keeps moving in the old horizontal direction.

great little game, i just wish a could play with WASD keys instead of the arrows

Nice little game where you can snack upon some humans to fill your dino belly.
Some audio would add a lot to the game: chomping sounds when you eat, humans screaming and there doesn't seem to be much of a challenge as the tanks don't shoot or damage your dino in any way so a health system and shooting tanks would also add a lot.

I'm not even certain why I got a game over, I guess I got big enough?
The dino was almost filling the entire viewport so I guess that's fair !

Happy chomping ! ;D

yeah, the "game over" screen kicks in when the dino gets too big. It was a placeholder originally but I didn't get around to polish it.

cool game and idea, the there's something weird with the controls but other than that its pretty fun

it looks so cute

A few things to work out that hopefully if you decide to continue working on this game you’ll be able to iron out (diagonal movement, humans being tricky to eat), otherwise I had fun playing the game you submitted. Nicely done!!

This was really fun and I loved the art style. Great job!

Great work! I realy love the dino. Also good theme interpretation! :)

love the pixel art dino

Submitted

Ah, those pesky people, they run straight into my mouth!


Fun game, love that the shaking of building sends them scattering and it looks like town is procedurally generated? Graphics looks good except the dino on the smallest scale may need a separate animation loop. I also got lost when the dino stepped outside of the screen range.

yep, my first attempt at integrating wave function collapse into my project.

That looks fun! Now I need an excuse to use it.

Cool mini game, got 25 people and 50 buildings. Dino animations got slugger over time.

Submitted

Very cool :)

Fun! Would like to see more and to see the end!

I wasn't expecting to have so much fun eating people, but it reminded me of Super Mega Worm. It made me laugh to see all the little people run as I got stronger

Satisfying game! The graphics fit together well, and music would be the cherry on the cake. Hope you’ll expand it in the future.

I spent a good three minutes only eating trees and wondering where the humans where only to find that I should head to town. Nice concept, I do wish there was some music or sound effects. For added spice you could add a jump or lung mechanic that would allow the player to move a short distance quickly to catch some of those pesky humans. Great work getting it submitted :)

Congratulations for the game. Simple and fun. I liked the use of the jam theme. I missed the sound effects, there could have been people screaming or even a dinosaur roar that stunned people so they stopped running.

nice quick and simple game. I like the art, and there is something just fun about being a giant dino!

Submitted(+1)

Very fun game. I enjoyed the gameplay.  The music would be fantastic as everyone is saying, but great job!

Submitted(+1)

Always neat to be a monster protagonist =D.  Like others mentioned, music would be cool.  There isn't always time, of course, but there are a lot of free sources that can get you something in place.  But I actually think it'd be ok without music if you just added sound effects, especially screams LOL.
