... and a huge thank you to

  • Will Herring for the awesome Smash N' Dab game. Without which I'd still be stuck prototyping increasingly complex and boring ideas for my giftee.

Fun facts

  • The giant is called Goliath in the code and asset filenames, because my giftee's name is David (Dee).
  • As the Bible story goes, Goliath the giant was defeated by David's tiny pebble. So to have Goliath dancing in hell while dodging flaming stones is adding insult to injury. Or gasoline to the fire, if we're sticking to hellish puns.
  • Because of a debugging hack I forgot to remove, you can press [ENTER] or [SPACEBAR] on the Title Screen, to make Goliath dance. (This is a code trivia. Not a Bible one.)
  • A lot of the music used in the game is by DavidKBD (another David!) If you think about it, two Davids are now unknowingly involved in the digital torture of Goliath.

I think this is great! Super funny. Well worth the wait. Of course the obvious criticism I particularly have is the crazy difficulty - but that's never stopped me before. Thanks for the game :)

Thank you!
