A NOTE ON THE THEME

*SPOILERS*

The end screen explains that as you have destroyed more of the city than the creature, in a cruel twist of morality, YOU are the REAL monster here. Just in case people don't play to the end and miss the point.

Haha very funny game , i killed godzilla :D
But its not "you are the monster" but "kill the monster" whatever the game was cool

Launching bombs is really fun :D

Fun to play, but the theme is "you are the Monster".

...For those who are saying the theme is "you are the monster..." if you get to the end screen, it explains that! ;)
Destroying so many building makes YOU the monster...

I enjoyed bombing the goofy monster! It was a bit tricky to get the hang of landing the shot, but I managed to get there without destroying toooooo much of the city.... :)

Tlansdale! You MONSTER you!

That's what i call collateral damage at it's best! Very smooth idea overall. fun to play. Kill godzilla, but killing everything else in extend results in something. Had fun playing it

Those building destruction effects! So cool!
The intro cutscene was awesome as well.

I ended up winning with only 60% of the city destroyed XD. That was really fun!

I did it 90% first time but after that things started exploding more. Is there some fail safe so you can't damage him below 25% health at 100% buildings standing? Seemed to stop taking my bombs... But anyway, I liked it! A+ Would play again.

Thanks everyone! I have found a bug that seems to occur occasionally where the creature stops taking damage and I am not sure why. Script all looks fine so I am going to dig into it a bit more. Thanks for playing though and glad you all enjoyed it!

Unreal is hard for the graphic card...

Super challenging game, very nice looking though! I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/aXZw1Jpw2JA

I really liked the intro screen on this!
Really well put together, good job!

Haha as the intro rolled up, some buildings exploded, and the monster looked straight at the camera! Spooky!

I did have some trouble aiming at the monster, but got the hang of swinging round the city for further attempts.

Turns out I'm a monster and destroyed 45% of the city.
