Thanks! This one didn’t really resonate with people, so i’m not sure if i’ll ever re-visit it. i thought at the very least, it might be interesting to replace all the assets with clay.

I enjoyed it. Would like it better if it wasn’t frantic mouse-clicking, and you could use a keyboard button instead (to hurt less?) Chewing hurts. XD I think something to eat that brings the stomach acid down (it’s good for the sea-monster) would be nice too, to give players a little more time. I had a bit of problem with object detection, I think… on some of the sailors IN the boats… (or maybe, it’s REALLY specific?) I wasn’t able to eat a single ship on my second run (when I realized it was an option).

I also enjoyed the poetry!

Aditya – the segmented neck math was heavily borrowed, i admit. i’m not a great hand at math. The entire game was predicated on that neck. Here’s a making-of post with more details:

Poetry …….. >_<
The monsters segmented neck is pretty cool. just curious to know art assets aside just how long did it take to program that .
