The game is very simplistic, you don't have many actions available. The presentation is nice.

Nice game! I think there's a bug where if you continue holding the mouse button down when your mouth-bar empties, you can keep your mouth open up until you release the mouse button (Can keep it open the entire run).

Love the small people and the blood when eating them! Would be nice with some more actions. Nice!

I get the same bug as Meep (in fact I didn't realise this wasn't intentional until now), but I really enjoyed this game D:

Awesome game! Make an Android port and sell it for 0.99 and you'll become rich! But of course add more actions.

got to the end, I like how it was a continuous journey. Maybe if there was changing landscape the further you got? Couldn't get the oil and boost last upgrades before I won; the price was too high.

Quite fun. There is just something with the moving background : my eyes burn. :)

Nice idea for a game. However buying upgrades doesn't really help you past the first buy - you still move about the same speed and for the same length of time. Keeping your mouth open doesn't give you a very big boost to your speed, not enough to really make picking up anything worth it.

Some of the people and goats spawn could never be picked up which was confusing and occasionally everything would some rendering for a time.

I did however like the monster's animation and the buildings. Shame that people didn't fall out of buildings when they got damaged.

Nice little game. Like the shop mechanics. Would be nice to have a bit more variety to the environment and some more upgrades in the shop (perhaps lasers and the like)

that's a neat game, the second half of the game is a bit long because of the expensive upgrades i think, but i still really enjoyed it a lot D:

This game has a certain charm to it. While it's very simple in scope, and not particularly polished to any degree, it actually feels like a game you could find in an arcade. The combination of simplistic graphics and cheerful music really helps sell the mood.

The gameplay needs the most refining of anything. Upgrades had no visible effect, I would recommend making the initial stats of the monster very weak. I would also recommend either removing humans/goats from the other lane of the road, or let the player move from lane to lane.

Your graphics were pretty grating to look at. Humans were small, dark figures that blended pretty easily into the road, meaning I had to strain my eyes to see them at high speeds. I would also recommend making more than one kind of building, although I realize this was probably not a priority in the 48 hours you had.

Overall a very rough game, yet also quite a bit of fun.

A simple game, but fun to play. The audio is lovely! Well done :)

Pretty cool monster, that pretty much caught my attention. Because it's such a unique looking monster, I played it for a little while :) The mouth mechanic helped keep each run from being too repetitive.

Your villain is so cute <3
I had fun eating everything on my way
rujo18 Dec 2012, 11:21

Very nice and polished game. Not much to do but enough to keep you occupied trying to get the best out of it :) Ran smoothly too!

The game is really fun and the monster is just great.
Maybe level 3 for options are a bit expensive.
I like the free run, but it misses some kind of goal.

Fun game, pretty addictive! Perhaps a bit too luck-based though.

So random...fun, in a really weird way. o_o Feels like my eyes are hurting just watching everything fly by o_o

Nice job on the music, is that FamiTracker?

That was a nice bit of mayhem - I wasn't sure how to control the length of the monster's sliding though.
