I played this (a few times) a few days ago and managed to find an almost pacifist path to the keys if you walk along right at the bottom of the screen and I really liked that it could be possible to play this in this way so if you ever intend to work further on the game then a pacifist challenge would be quite fun. However, the sound design is so good that stomping around the city ended up feeling incredibly satisfying (sorry pixel people!) and I enjoyed doing that too, as well as all the little comments your kaiju makes while trying to tiptoe around. Really, really great game for such a simple premise and the lack of time you had to devote to it. Well done! (I love the art and animation too, of course!)

Thanks so much, Mandy! 🙏😄 I love the idea of a pacifist path and would like to add it if I do more on the game - keeping a running list of tweaks and additions. Thanks for the props re sound design. For what it’s worth I made it so you can’t squash the pixel peeps lol, they kind of bounce away from Kaiju’s big stomping feet. 😅 Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to play through it 🙌
I know! For "research purposes" I tried to stomp a few people and saw they were safe, which I thought was a nice touch. What I meant in terms of sorry was that I'm stomping their town to bits and I'm enjoying it and this is right after I've just played a few times as a pacifist and discovered it's possible! (Guess that made me the monster....)
