Monster Hunter is one of my favourite games, and while hunting those powerful monsters, I've often wanted to be able to play in their point of view, and your game manages to do just that! Strengthening my monster protagonist to kill other heroes by randomly strengthening does provide a rather special gaming experience.

The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable was the overpowered enemies, I tried to win by strengthening my melee attacks in the beginning of the game, but I soon realized that if I got into a melee battle the enemies could kill me in a few seconds, so then I chose to win by strengthening only my special attacks, and this strategy was working well enough to complete all 10 waves of the game. But it didn't make me very happy, and I knew I was looking forward to winning through melee combat.

I really enjoyed the concept of this game and was impressed by how well the controls were distributed. The layout was intuitive and made for a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience. Great job!

The game is very cute and it feels nice to play and cause rampage! My only main concern (Which I'm sure you've heard already) is that the text resolution in the upgrade screen is way too low. If you're going for a pixelated look in the text, I recommend using a pixelated font to begin with.

This concept is really nice, I think playing as the monster is a great approach to this years theme!

The visuals are simple but they fit the overall concept nicely & I love the retro-arcade vibe with the music and SFX felt very nostalgic.

The upgrade menu was a bit blurry and hard to read but equipping different parts its a clever mechanic, I made it to wave 4. :]

Cute game, liked the feel of the controls! The upgrade system was a little confusing at first but it was a nice touch!

A great game, neither too complicated nor too simple. I really enjoyed playing it

(unfortunately, I never managed to activate the Z attack)

Loved the idea of this one. You managed to make a full game with combat in 48 hours, I am very impressed.

Cool game thank you for sharing. I think the game plays pretty well. However, for whatever reason the text was like suuuuper blurry and I wasn't always 100% sure what i was getting. Thankfully the game itself is very clear and readable during gameplay. The music is absolute gold, and the sound effects felt very punchy and juicy. In general actually, I would say that the gameplay here had real juice, I felt like my monster had real weight and oomph to them, so job well done!

Loving all the different power ups. Although the explanation text for them does look a bit blurry to me.

Nice work!

Music is a bit repetive, and as other said, the text is blurry so i was taking random upgrades. but overall, it a nice game!

Looks cool, and the idea is funny and interesting.

The text for upgrades is a bit blurry tho, and sometimes I feel like I should've hit an enemy, but missed it.

Other than that, really liked it <3
