Nice game! I think there's a bug where if you continue holding the mouse button down when your mouth-bar empties, you can keep your mouth open up until you release the mouse button (Can keep it open the entire run).
Love the small people and the blood when eating them! Would be nice with some more actions. Nice!
I get the same bug as Meep (in fact I didn't realise this wasn't intentional until now), but I really enjoyed this game D:
got to the end, I like how it was a continuous journey. Maybe if there was changing landscape the further you got? Couldn't get the oil and boost last upgrades before I won; the price was too high.
Quite fun. There is just something with the moving background : my eyes burn. :)
Awesome game! Make an Android port and sell it for 0.99 and you'll become rich! But of course add more actions.
Nice idea for a game. However buying upgrades doesn't really help you past the first buy - you still move about the same speed and for the same length of time. Keeping your mouth open doesn't give you a very big boost to your speed, not enough to really make picking up anything worth it.
Some of the people and goats spawn could never be picked up which was confusing and occasionally everything would some rendering for a time.
I did however like the monster's animation and the buildings. Shame that people didn't fall out of buildings when they got damaged.
Pahaha. That was great! Simple premise, executed excellently! Also, that creature looks hilarious. :P
that's a neat game, the second half of the game is a bit long because of the expensive upgrades i think, but i still really enjoyed it a lot D:
Nice little game. Like the shop mechanics. Would be nice to have a bit more variety to the environment and some more upgrades in the shop (perhaps lasers and the like)
This game has a certain charm to it. While it's very simple in scope, and not particularly polished to any degree, it actually feels like a game you could find in an arcade. The combination of simplistic graphics and cheerful music really helps sell the mood.
The gameplay needs the most refining of anything. Upgrades had no visible effect, I would recommend making the initial stats of the monster very weak. I would also recommend either removing humans/goats from the other lane of the road, or let the player move from lane to lane.
Your graphics were pretty grating to look at. Humans were small, dark figures that blended pretty easily into the road, meaning I had to strain my eyes to see them at high speeds. I would also recommend making more than one kind of building, although I realize this was probably not a priority in the 48 hours you had.
Overall a very rough game, yet also quite a bit of fun.
A simple game, but fun to play. The audio is lovely! Well done :)
Pretty cool monster, that pretty much caught my attention. Because it's such a unique looking monster, I played it for a little while :) The mouth mechanic helped keep each run from being too repetitive.
Your villain is so cute <3
I had fun eating everything on my way
Very nice and polished game. Not much to do but enough to keep you occupied trying to get the best out of it :) Ran smoothly too!
The game is really fun and the monster is just great.
Maybe level 3 for options are a bit expensive.
I like the free run, but it misses some kind of goal.
Fun game, pretty addictive! Perhaps a bit too luck-based though.
So random...fun, in a really weird way. o_o Feels like my eyes are hurting just watching everything fly by o_o
Nice job on the music, is that FamiTracker?
That was a nice bit of mayhem - I wasn't sure how to control the length of the monster's sliding though.
lol... cool, although I had a bit of trouble grasping the controls.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
The game is very simplistic, you don't have many actions available. The presentation is nice.
