Cuteness overload! Very amusing how the poor monster is trying to avoid making mess while the humans are destroying everything.

Good job!

You definitely got the feeling of panic across, and the foolish humans are basically destroying their own city as you scramble around avoiding bombs. It's both cute and fun. It's also simple which is good for Ludum Dare.

Who would drop bombs on such a cute monster? Only a true monster could do such a thing.

This is great! love the sounds which you squish people. The graphics are cute and awesome. Love the take on space invaders (i think thats what you were going for)

Very fun. :)

Maybe recovering life by killing some amount of humans could be good...

Took a long time to progress, but the cutesy monster kept me going! :) I like how you've set it up that the humans are the ones destroying their own city while poor Pinky just minds (his/her) own business... The sound effects are well made, and add quite a lot to the game. Well done, I really like this!
