You are a peace-loving monster who wants to be left alone in your dungeon with your treasure? Is that too much to ask? But noooo! Whiny little "Heroes" keep trying to steal your loot! Stomp as many as you can, and protect what's yours!
Won't run in Chrome (had a problem with the Unity WebGL export, so this is a web player build). Windows and OS/X builds are also available.
I thought about having some kind of powerups or something to give you a temporary sprint. I decided instead to make you really slow as a trade-off for being invincible. It probably could use some balancing though.
Nice hand drawn art style. The audio clips are pretty funny, and a nice use of pathfinding and randomisation for the human stealing the treasue. I enjoyed it :)
I was going to add some pathfinding, but to save time I actually just made about ten or twelve predefined paths, and then wrote a script to choose randomly. Also any path can be run forward or in reverse.
The tuning on this to make the monster slow added the perfect challenge-- I was yelling at the screen when I had only 1 jewel left. The audio brings the humor!
This is really great concept. I think it's unfair for the monster! It would be nice to add some design from tower defense games: earn money and spend the money on some traps and stuff... Picked BY GB.
There was something I especially enjoyed about the small scale of the monster, and even more so the extremely small scale of the humans. This was quite a bit of fun!
@inbetweengames I should have recorded a "you lost the game" audio clip, but by the time I realized I had forgotten it I had all the other audio recorded and put into the game. I was running very short on time so didn't go back and make another clip.
Love the voices! I included it in part 15 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/De5lc4U-4hg

Great use of limited audio to give the game character. Maybe audio when they successfully steal treasure would be good, as that's the lose condition.
The voices were quite amusing!
Quite a fun game too.
Very satisfying to stomp one of the dudes right as he gets close to the exit.
Niiiice!
I could definitely see this expanded to a bigger game. Focused on the idea of preventing people from stealing from ya. Power ups and such
Cool!
The concept is very cool but a bit hard :c poor monster.
gj!
