When the window gets shrinked, the gui layer scales but the game layer doesn't, hence why this bug is caused. I believe that the ludum dare rules allow for small bug fixes on things like this so I will upload a fixed version now."},{"author_name":"fdslk","author_uid":"56516","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:32pm","epoch":1440512820,"text":"BRING ME MORE TOWNSFOLKS!

I liked the idea of building out a force to take on the monster, especially with some of the crazy attacks (not sure throwing fish was actually helping), but was slightly disappointed that the game ramped up the money so quickly that by the end I was building the most expensive dwellings as fast as I could click the menu. I also definitely enjoyed the switchover from villager to enemy. It looks like there could be some good strategy in creating villagers that are good for initially defeating trogg, but wouldn't hinder me as much in the second half. I ended up in the end funneling the villagers through a narrow passage between two vouses and some trees such that I could keep going back and forth killing a ton of villagers without giving them enough room to attack.

You must form and battle this monster with the strongest villagers you can afford. Coins are earned each time a villager succeeds in hitting Trogg.\r\nEach time Trogg eats one of your village's loyal citizens, he will grow.\r\n\r\nOnce you take control of Trogg all points will be earned by eating villagers.\r\n\r\nMy personal website: www.qsdevelopment.toppysites.com;\r\n\r\nEntirely created within the 48 hour time frame.\r\n\r\nAfter notes:\r\nI apologize for any poor performance...
