The giants are trying to destroy your castle. You have to pick them up and throw them into the air so when they fall down, they won't rise up again. There are 3 different types of giants and they come in waves. After each wave the player is able to use the shop.
Enemies are getting faster and stronger in time. How long can you last?

Features:
* 3 different giants
* Shop
* Upgrades
* Online highscore table.




Game is located here:

In the game you can see the 10 best scores.

Happy playing and add yourself to the highscore!

Funny little game. Clicking, and throwing them is a bit awkward, you should probably make the click-area a bit larger (so I don't have to be so precise!)

After a little while of playing, the clicking got weird, (I clicked, dragged, released, and the guy was still on,) and I clicked around, and managed to get him off, but it continued to be like that, so.. yeah. They killed me. edit: Oh, I see. I think you mention that as a bug? That must have been what happened.

I like your graphics.

Game needs more stuff to do. Maybe have loads of stones you can click, drag, and drop on enemies.

I advice you to use Firefox browser.

Chrome is the best for HTML5 at the moment.

I agree with Desert Dog, maybe even a slightly different mechanic. "It's New Year's and everyone in the castle is getting down like it's 1999, the castle is damn near unguarded except for one archer who isn't very social. Alone he perches upon the top of the castle ready to pick of any invaders". Sorry, it's just what came to mind haha, however it would be neat to pick em off with arrows!

Anyhow I do absolutely love the art, looks awesome!

Thank you for comments and compliments, gentlemen! Actually this is my first test on GMHTML5 and i managed to get the highscore stuff working, that's why i put the game out. I was so anxious to see the scores grow. The enemies are a little bit large if you compare it with the castle. I think the theme will be Giants vs castle. I will definetly add some cool stuff to game. I proboably get some free time at the middle of next month - yeah i know that there's a lot of time till that, but life is hard :D

Good game, but when I throw them they will sometimes fly off the screen to the left when I threw them straight up. I really like your graphics though.

I've made some graphical improvements. Go check it out:

Interesting concept... but the gameplay, well, is poor! Why not have a wave system so that at first only a few giants come out, and then you get steadily more and more? At the moment it's just a free for all and needs a slower start... Also, you could have a "change score for health" system where the player can reduce their score and use it to replace the hp of the castle. This would let the player choose a bit of strategy an prolong the game a bit. Anyway, good work on an interesting game that could be really fun with a bit of work!

Thank you for tips! I had the wave and shop idea in my mind and i am adding these features to the game step by step. I think i am able to upload the newer version tomorrow, the new version will have 2 enemy units instead of one. I was also thinking to add registering system, so people can save and load the game. This feature will give the opportunity to make more detail highscore table.

[Timmo]

I have added the shop and 2 new giants, theme and soundeffects! Also i made some more improvements in the game. You can find detailed description in the first post!

Nice, it's the first html5 game I've tried that worked nicely on iPad. The graphics are nice, but is the gameplay anything but a clone of Defend Your Castle? I didn't play long enough to see any original ideas here.
Also, I couldn't throw them up in the air - if I'd move my cursor upwards fast and drop them, they'd instantly stop and just fall down, ultimately forcing me to do big movements for each giant.
Also, sometimes multiple giants spawned at the same place and walked inside each other, only drawing one giant where there were actually three.

This is pretty cool.

Thank you for your comments!
Do you have ideas how can i improve the game? Especially what can i add to shop?
