The kaiju's movement is lethal to humans. The game is all about using a simulation to deal with that problem.

Cool art style and concept. I was so proud when I managed to not kill anyone that I made a screenshot.

Thanks very much! We try to keep our jam games simple and fun, and we came up with the idea after we found out about the limitation, so that we could make sure it fit well.

Great concept from limitations with funny illustrations,
I do like little games with humor!
Besides, I would like smoother control (less inertia),
control now feels like hard rigidbody without a drag.

Wow! This game was really good!

I really like the concept, and the execution of this concept. The art really fit the style of game.

The controlls felt as if they had a little bit of delay, which felt a little bit weird, but I suppose that's also part of being a big "monster".

Well done!

Thanks very much!

The controls did feel a little better in Unity, but once it was built for WebGL it felt a little more sluggish. The game jam time limit didn't really give us enough time to figure out how to fix that unfortunately. Each jam is a learning experience, and this was our first platformer, so we'll keep this in mind for the next one.

I love the art and the happy theme!  The gameplay was a little simple once I understood it, but it was well designed and very playable.  Here is a video of me playing:

Great game! I can’t think of anything that could be improved and I love the concept & the art, truly amazing! Congrats!! And sorry for the little humans I stomped on, it seems like I’m not a very friendly kaiju :(

Thanks for the incredibly kind, positive feedback! I don't blame you for stepping on the little humans; we tried to make it satisfying to squish them. (Maybe there's something wrong with us...)

By the way, I really like your company name!

So that’s why it did not feel so wrong to be bad at this game!

And thanks too :)

Thanks so much for your kind feedback! We weren't sure if the crowd screaming and the blood splatters were too much, so it's good to hear that it was satisfying to step on the people. :)

Wow, thank you! We had a lot of fun making the art, but to tell you the truth, the "Artist Crayon" brush in Procreate did the heavy lifting. :D

Hah- that was a lot of fun, really well presented.

(Although, once I realised how fun it was to kill people, I didn’t turn back…)

I guess I'm a bad person too because I enjoyed that way also! We tried to make a high death count satisfying as well, so you can play whichever way you want.

perfect score babyyyyyyyy. I like that in this game your movement is lethal to others rather than the player. Wholesome in a weird way. Well done :>
