Harpoon Rescue Marines by Mike Cullingham
Humans are turning into monsters. We (of course) don't want to kill the monster. We want to save it. But also prevent it from eating people (actually eating people not implemented, but it will at least pursue them).
Note that it's pretty buggy and more of a playground at this point than a real game.
- WASD & mouse left click to fire harpoon
- Left-Control key to grab or drop the ring at the end of a harpoon's chain
Drag the monster into the "H"-Zone (hospital? healing?) to turn it back into a human
Backspace to restart the level

Some notes:
- Disable the gammeaker studio splash screen if you want! It's in global game settings > windows
- I got some belowe average performance palying on my computer, this might just be all the physics stuff going on (which is really fun and unique!) or maybe the room speed is just low? Maybe try setting it to 60 and see how that feels
- Most often the monster actually heals himself because most of the humans are already over in the H square (from being healed previously), it would be a bit more of a challenge if they moved around further from that area. Doesn't detract from the funt hough, of which there is lots to be had here
Great stuff! never seen anything quite like this before.
A game like this where you need to keep your comically large pet monster from doing *too* much damage to a town might be fun!
