Big Beautiful Cthulhu

About

You play as Cthulhu in this arcade-style 2.5D game where the goal is to eat planets to grow bigger while dodging black holes and stars. The controls are simple and fast paced. You steer the cosmic horror through space. Each planet consumed adds to your size. But watch out for obstacles that can destroy you. The game loops through waves of challenges. Making it a mix of reflexes and strategy. Made by a two person team during the Epic MegaJam 2021. The game ties directly to the "running out of space" theme. Players enjoy the absurd premise and smooth mechanics. It's a short burst of chaotic fun. With a runtime that fits a single sitting. Fans of silly arcade action might find it amusing. Though depth is limited. The art and sound design lean into the cosmic horror vibe. But keep it light and playful.
