Introduction


It's hard to be a friendly giant in this crazy world. People panic upon seeing you. They seem to love chilling under your feet and crashing their vehicles into your legs; everyone's screaming and dying... That makes a giant sad; giants love going out for a walk! :cry:

Instructions


Help the giant walk as far as possible before losing balance or killing too many people.

This is not just another endless runner.

It should be played on a mobile device (but can also be playtested on Windows).

1. Place you device horizontally in a steady surface.
2. Put your index and middle fingers on top of the giant's feet.
3. Alternatively touch and drag backwards the feet of the giant simulating a treadmill.
4. The shadow of the giant will show you where the other foot will be placed in the next step.
5. Avoid stepping on people and try to dodge vehicles crashing into your legs.
6. If you take too long to make the step, you'll lose balance.

Example:
- Touch LEFT foot, drag backwards to define RIGHT foot step position, release LEFT foot.
- Touch RIGHT foot, drag backward to define LEFT foot step position, release RIGHT foot.
- Touch LEFT foot, ...


Have fun!

P.S: If you are playing on Windows, simulate touch&drag using mouse click and movement.

Fun game! The voice acting is hilarious. By the way, now you can opt-out graphics and audio through the game edit page.

I Played this on Livestream a bit ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwY1-PtcDqs

I had fun, the mechanics are solid. I think my only complaint is that with the foot able to go off the screen and thus out of player sight, it's easy to lose points and not know why. I figured it out halfway thru, but it was still a tad annoying. Otherwise solid mechanics and a really good Mobile game. I'll be sticking it on my android to give it a shot later.

Wow! Thank you very much for give it a try! =D

You are right. Playing it in PC, where the cursor can go further the window this unwanted behaviour occurs. Luckily, this is not allowed in mobile since the fingers just are able to drag within the limits of the screen ^^

Innovative ideas are always cool. It seems a perfect game for android xD. I would like to see it with keyboard controls.

Just I got 300m xD

Nice one a good game. I really like you guys sharing the source code. Most of the people who joins the jam don't share it that's why I like to join in the compo since I am also alone.

A little strange management, but overall everything is great

Controllers are a bit weird at first, but it's a fun game when you understand the trick !

The idea is good, but the game is really hard play with a mouse.

Very cute idea and a lot of fun! I'm not really a mobile player, but I'll definitely share it with friends who are and see what they think. I enjoyed playing on PC so that I could cheat with the mouse by dragging it far out of the window borders. I got 823 meters on my second try, which I thought was decent.

Awesome game! Very original. I don't quite understand the use of the energy bar tho.
