This game is AWESOME hahahaha

Such a creative situation - I loved sneakily trailing behind the giant! I was laughing pretty hard even at the preview images you uploaded. I love how the giant's face slowly emerges from the clouds

My best run was 187m!

This is fun. I think adding basic sound effect when interacting with a store or clowns or hiding would probably have a pretty huge effect on game feel - I died on my first go because I wasn't sure if my interaction with the coffee store was having an effect or not.

Developer

Thanks! :)

The sounds are clearly missing here for sure, especially with multiple things going on at the same time. I fell into the old trap of adding music and sound effects last minute since I just forgot them to be honest 😅

really enjoyed the gameplay and the giant looking at me weird

Thanks I worked really hard on the giant looking part :)

Love that this is open source and in general the concept of the game! <3
This reminded me of some childhood trauma.
Has anyone else seen that one creepy Pingu episode with the seal and the horse bed?
This game gave me flashbacks to that.

Well I didn't expect that it will trigger some childhood trauma :D Glad you enjoyed it

Took me a few goes to work out what was going on, but had some fun once I worked it out, was not expecting that face when you get caught though XD

Developer

Yeah thats a common theme in my jam games, to much things going on right at the beginning 😅. I just crammed everything I could in it. Glad you enjoyed it!
