Drunken Zeus
"Wait, what do you mean there are monsters roaming the earth? Can't Herakles take care of it? What could HE be busy with?"
"See, I just got back from this party...one of Dionysus's, you know how those go... No, I can do it. It's nothing I can't handle!"
Play as Zeus, the king of the gods! Smite monsters from your temple in the clouds with cruel bolts of lightning! You are the top dog on Olympus! You're completely fine! There's nothing wrong with your aim at all!
CONTROLS:
Mouse motion - (try to) Steady your arm
Left mouse button - Throw lightning bolt
Destroy 4 temples and it's game over.
TIPS 4 PROS:
-The mouse motion doesn't map directly to the crosshairs. Try to work with the swaying motion where possible, rather than against it.
-Get a game over or complete the level and you'll get a title. There are lots of those. Consider them collectables!
-------------------------
NOTES:
No sound again, oops. Ran out of time! It's my first LD using Unity; these things happen.
Just for fun, let me know what title you got in the comments! See if between everybody we can get them all.

I can't rate this properly as I there is no web version and I have mac. But what I saw on gif picture seems quite funny, so good job.

Pretty cool, no audio though which was kinda disappointing, also playing full screen I could see outside of where I was supposed to. Still quite fun

The idea of waiting for the right shot was neat, but overall did not quite do it for me. Audio is a must for this since all the action depends on whether or not you hit your mark, the tense feeling of "gotta line this shot." Also, Zeus is not a monster, which breaks LD33's theme rule.

Animal Lover....rly?cool game,good job.

@TeamOA: Thanks for the heads up. I thought I had fixed that, but it might depend on your resolution? I'll check it out.
@mooncalf: You're absolutely correct about the audio, and I hope to add it. That's a rather literal interpretation of the theme, though: Zeus might not be an actual monster, but...?

Funny concept. The mouse should lock to the cursor though, I kept clicking off the window. Add some sound as a post-entry!

AHhaaAhA, i loved being the drunk zeus!!!

I would really have loved to be able to fullscreen this. I had problems with hitting the top of my screen with the mouse and not being able to move up anymore in the game. Fullscreen takes care of stuff like that. Aside from that, it was pretty neat. You always come up with interesting ideas.

There's no wrath like the wrath of drunken Zeus!
... So, where's the wine?

You had me at 'Drunken Zeus', but then it also ended up being a fantastic game. Really fun, great idea, and a brilliant control scheme. Very, very nice!

Awe damn. Fucken Zeus getting too drunk to take care of his people again. Awesome game. I included it in part 14 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/CvW_HEqR1oI

Finally, another game with Medusa in it. ;) The drunk effect on aiming was well implemented.
