[FAQ and hints]

Q: I am a giant monster and can barely hold a small boat. Why?

A: Yes. You've been sleeping for thousands of years. You need energy.

Q: How can I replenish my energy?

A: You need to eat divers. Sometimes they come alone but most of them are inside vehicles, just break it and they will go out. Catch as many as you can with your enclosing arms in direction of the fatal bite. You can also eat containers from cargo ships.

Q: What is energy for?

A: Each bite cost 2 points of energy. Beside that, when you fill your energy bar you gain a level.

Q: How to destroy vehicles?

A: With bites and punches. Punches damage is tied to punch speed.

Q: What are the changes on each level?

A: +resistance +agility +strength +bite power +stars. Punches do more damage because you move faster. On later levels you will be pulling battleships with a single claw.

Q: Is this game have an end / What are those black stars in sky?

A: They are not stars and they are not black, but this is all that your human eye will see =). You win the game reaching level 11 (filling sky with stars)

Q: Is this game was made entirely in 72 hours?

A: Of course. We are in a ludumdare.

Q: Has the monster another power beside the bite?

A: It should have short range laser and telekinesis. Actually, they are implemented in code with a few more lines to work in full... but not in time.

Q: Are there any plans for a post compo version? / I would like to see these powers

A: It depends on community feedback.
