its a cool idea. i will say the music gave me a headache, and combat felt too hard for all the phases, but i still had fun

Submitted

Great concept, nice artstyle, good sound and great music, really fun!

Submitted

Fun game and nice UI! :)

Love the polish on this, the animations and effects are awesome. It kinda captures some childhood feelings of saturday cartoon monster donking it out! Sadly I found some enemy sounds to be repetetive and hard on the ears but other than that solid game!

Submitted

Awesome! 

It felt so good to play.

And your animations are insane! It felt super smooth!

Well done, I'm amazed! :D

Submitted

It's a very good game. As the character grows larger, it becomes cumbersome. The number of monsters I can attack seems insufficient. It is recommended to increase the number or quality of monsters over time

Its a fun game and the artwork is amazign! I liked the music but at a certain point I heard when the loop stopped and started again and I couldnt unhear it lol, still the fact that you made your own music is super impressive on its own!

The idea of evolution that regress at the end is funny, just a little sad that when you reach last stage the game becomes easy after :(

Developer

Thanks! The final form is overpowered but doesn't last too long, did you find it gave you too much food to collect afterwards?

Nice Game Idea, enjoyed playing

Quite lovely! I was already intrigued by the title, since Schlonk just has a ring to it :D The sprites and artwork are super nice, especially the characters/monsters. Something didn't feel 100% cohesive with the ground texture, but I'm not quite sure what it was. Music/Sounds in themself were also great, maybe the music just needed a bit more of variety, since the intensity was pretty high all of the time. Gameplay was very enjoyable and easy to grasp, just the enemy hitboxes felt quite finicky sometimes, especially while using the tongue attacks. 

All in all really impressive! Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it really means a lot! :)

I can’t personally speak for the hit boxes (I was the sound/animation guy) but I’ll pass your compliments about the monsters/art on to our artist (he has an itch page but I haven’t been able to add him as an admin yet 😅)! Really happy you enjoyed it though - I’ll take responsibility for the music hahah, made it on the last day so it was a little rushed unfortunately - glad to hear the sound effects were enjoyed too, they were a lot of fun to make! :) Thanks again!

Love the aesthetic and game play, this might be the most fun entry I've played so far! Really nice work, and I'm going to keep trying to push my score.

Developer

Glad you liked it! Maybe you'll beat all of our scores ^_^

Developer

Thanks - we're really happy you like it! 😁 Not sure about the other devs but you'll definitely beat my high (low) score if you haven't already!

Fun little arcade game! And great visuals. I like that you can reset your progress if you take too much damage but you still try and fight back

Developer(+1)

Thank you! We were trying to design that kind of push and pull mechanic so I'm glad it comes through!

Developer

Thank you so much - glad you enjoyed it! 😁 That was the ‘loop’ part of our game so we’re happy to hear it worked well! Much appreciated! :)
