Nice implementation of the theme. However the screen shakes was a bit too much for me so I felt a bit sea sick after a while.
Personally when playing I expected the cyclops to eventually squash enemies. Like snake but then gaining points by having your tail hit stuff and grow, and it becoming hard to navigate.
After reading I saw it was possible to do a main attack.
Main difficulty increase here comes by making it hard to see what is happening because of the size of the cyclops and screen shake. While navigating towards the food without hitting enemies.
Theme implementation is solid, and its fun to play for a couple loops. Well done!
Fun game! It would have been more interesting if Cyclops had grown into a bigger monster :D
nice game and cool idea! I liked the camera shake, it was fun and the whole idea of killing enemies to feed the cyclops was smart.
Well done!
Thank you, greenphox!
I expected that the cyclops can attack enemies too.And the camera shake made me fell a bit dizzy.It's still fun though.
Thank you, JiaoshouMa! I think I should have saved the amount of the camera shake much more:)
Fun game! I like the simple gameplay loop of kill it to feed your pet before it dies of hunger. The attack felt a bit clunky to me, it would queue up my click when I didn't have enough mana and make me instantly shoot once I gained enough mana to shoot. Also the recharge was a bit slow for my personal taste, I kept wanting to be able to shoot more often and waiting for the long recharge felt like a punishment for shooting. Also the camera shake got to be a bit much after I hit 10-12, maybe locking it to not go over a certain value would help.
It was very satisfying to grow my pet and watch him get huge. Cute little game! :)
MrRan, thanks for your feedback. I would like to tweak and update some things like what you reported after the rating period. I didn't have much time left and was in a hurry before submitting...
