Don't let the little men escape your wrath. Stomp them all!
Avoid the houses at all cost.

Press "A" or "Left Arrow" to lift left foot
Press "D" or "Right Arrow" to lift right foot
Press the button again when your foot is on air to stomp it.

My highest score is around 300.

This is very difficult! I got just 185 points. =/ Nice job!

I loved it and I'd love to see this with some hand drawn graphics!

It was too hard for me as well. Nice concept though.

Thank you for playing! I agree, it's too difficult.
I would've lower the difficulty if I wasn't running out of time xD

Lmao. Great game. It's quite tricky on the brain! I got about 50 points.

Hahaha, I am hilariously terrible at this game; I'm enjoying it a great deal because of this, but would love to not have to reach for my mouse to restart.

Nice idea, but the "movement" doesn't become clear (I thought he just stood there). The ground needs some sort of texture or noise, to make it more apparent.

Besides that, nice stomper! (I'm calling this genre now this way)

Stomped humans make satisfying splash... But that's about the only thing I liked - I got really bored quite quick with it.

Why the little people put their little houses so close from each other?!!

I got to 200 but only after learning that stomping gives a x2 score. Is this on purpose?

My first thought was "QWOPzilla!" :D But after playing a bit, maybe it's more "QWOPabalt"!

Obviously in this form it's not something anyone is going to spent a lot of time with, but it's a really fun idea!

Great idea, but the execution is kinda lacking. I didn't really feel any good control over stomping (too slow?), lifting legs on the other hand worked well. I could probably go on playing, but I kept letting these 3 men escape and now I feel that this is an unnecessary loosing condition. As I stated before, though - a great idea. I got to about 100 points.
