Hakaiju

**CREATOR'S NOTE**: HAKAIJU WORKS BEST WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD IT TO YOUR COMPUTER. The WebGL version is functional but has a noticeable performance drop.

This game made in 2 weeks for the Kaiju Jam II 2023.

Hakaiju is a third person action game where YOU are the giant Kaiju rampaging through the city. You will need to fight off waves of military opposition while destroying as much of the city as you can! Fill the Destruction Meter to 100% or die trying.

HOW TO PLAY

Gather experience points by destroying the city and military units. 

Once your experience meter is full, you’ll be prompted to level up! You can spend your level up point on your Toughness, Destruction, or Agility stats, each of which will grant different stat buffs to your Kaiju. 

At specific levels, you’ll earn brand new abilities regardless of which stats you’ve already buffed. Explore the Stats screen from the pause menu for more details!
