According to theme, you are trying to disturb the monster and save a girl. To do that you can throw some food or move rocks. Try your best and get fun :)

Cheers!

Meets the theme wonderfully! Some of the object responsiveness was a little wonky at times, this may have more success as a keyboard game where you can cycle through the objects on screen to interact with.

You guys perfectly match the theme. Simple and easy to understand. Sometimes got difficult to click on the object but not a big deal!

Cool little game!
I really like the pixelart graphics and the background music. The fact that apples also speed up the monster was a clever idea! One problem I encountered was that sometimes the monster would reach me before I had a chance to click on a rock/apple/bird. Maybe you could add some logic that the first rock can't be to late.
As others have pointed out, it can be hard to click on the smaller objects when you are quite fast.
Overall I had a lot of fun and kept playing until I had a highscore I was happy with (279).
Good Job!

This turned out to be a very beautiful game! Great pixel art. Audio was minimal but definitely fit the aesthetic. Gameplay was very enjoyable once you figured it out. For less clever folks like myself, a little bit of instruction would go a long way :D

Simple enough, great art. Once it starts moving fast the click detection doesn't seem accurate, it lags behind where you're clicking.

Nice game! I think the concept is the perfect embodiment of the theme and had lots of fun playing it. Really cool that you were able to make a completely procedural level generator and do all this in just a weekend. Good job!

Fun game! Nice and simple but hard to master, as it should! A view thoughts:

- I did not really figure out what the crow did
- When pushing down stones, I would click it again to push them up again for monster to get stuck, but appearantly that is not possible. Maybe the two types of stones could have had diffrent appearances to comminuicate that
- I like how it gets faster and faster, well done!

I noticed some bugs that get in the way a little, but overall it was pretty fun. Great job.

Nice straight forward game, I like the variety of effects, clicking on moving objects was pretty tough as but maybe I was playing on hardmode (mac trackpad). Great art and sweet buildup, nicely done!

Thank you all for your comments and constructive remarks.
I know about some bugs and plan to fix them in the after jam version.
Now I see it's also a problem with click tracking at a higher speed.
@wouter52 Crow makes you a little slower (should work on monster also but it's one of the problems :D). Thanks for the suggestion about stone, I will think about it.
Cheers!
