Perhaps needed some fine tuning on the enemies: I wasn't blocking very well but made it to the end with about 4/5ths of my health.
Otherwise, an interesting take on the theme, and nicely drawn artwork too~

I thought it was strange that you had to click on lifeboats to open up portals. It made it deflecting bullets pretty difficult. Otherwise, felt like a total badass. "I am.. the ONLY ONE!" describes you too doesn't it?
I like that you tried to have a completely different take on the "only one" theme. You could argue that this is part of the gameplay of course. Though I think you would feel it more if the attacks were more aggressive like thunder strikes (although I already felt bad to kill the people in their life boats :p).
Also the problem with overpowered characters is that there are often no real challenges for them which is also true for this game.
Overall I liked it and kudos for doing the voice overs yourself :p
An amazing visual style and sound effects too. I enjoyed it through :)
This one was cool, but the "only one" isn't really a part of the gameplay
Good job, the graphics is amazing. It was easier, but who can stand against Cthulhu.
Cthulhu sleeps no more! Really good art style. The game was a bit easy but that's fine.
Just finished the game! The graphic is great (looks like hand drawn but I am not sure)! It is a little repetitive at the beginning but I totally didn't expect a boss at the end. A cool boss design, I like how you have to strategically launch your meteor when his shield are pointing downward. Great job!
Thank you for making my power fantasy a reality.

Awesome game and awesome art! That robot stood no chance.
I feel like it does everything it wants to do quite well, no complaints here. Nice work!
Had a lot of fun destroying everyone as a great eldritch horror. That art must have taken a while. RISE!!!
Holy moly! This game is brilliant! I am surprised at how little votes it has, you should definitely post it in the under-20-ratings chat on Discord, this game deserves so much more attention.
Great job at producing this game in 48 hours, I think this is a very original title, and is very fun to play! I didn't understand how to control the comets though. I know there's a tutorial text to say how to use the comets but, it flashed by so fast that I didn't get time to read it.
Great job, you deserve so much more!

I really appreciate your encouragement and such high praise. Your feedback about the comet mechanic is spot on and by far the thing I wished I'd had more time to explain to the player. I was hoping to place indicators to direct the player on how comets worked but ran of time (grab life boat = get 1 (only one) comet to throw from the green portal in the sky). I wasn't aware of that discord chat and I'll do that. Thank you for the tip and such great feedback!
Nice interesting, not what I was expecting. Love the HP theme are you a big fan?
The gameplay was simple to understand and could be picked up quickly, I would suggest changing the controls for the comets as this was the only thing I didn't understand at first.
I did love how powerful you felt as Cthulhu, which due to the lore around it fits very well.
Thanks, Late Panda! I've always been fascinated by cosmic horror but only recently been actively reading/researching it. Great feedback about the comets. Basically the mechanic is you grab a lifeboat and then you can summon a comet to throw but I ran out of time to explain that better. Appreciate your comment!
Wow. Pretty neat artwork !
It's fun to kill everything in your way like a real bad guy !
Almost died due to the dirigibles and submarines. Maybe add more humans boat to kill them faster ? Or i"m just maybe a crappy monster.
Good job ! Nice submission
Awesome artwork! Really great stuff. It's cool feeling like an unstoppable monster :D puny humans!
