TITANATTACKS

A kaiju rampage that runs in a browser tab

The idea

You hatch in the shallows off a fishing village, no taller than its boathouses. Everything you flatten and everyone you swallow makes you a little larger, and the next place along the coast is a little taller than the last. By the fifth city you are looking down on a financial district — and you are not the only titan in it.

It runs entirely in the browser. Every building, wave, villager, tank and roar is generated at load time — there are no downloaded models, textures or audio files anywhere in the project.

What is in it

Trample

Walk through anything shorter than you are. Towers need claws, or the breath, or both.

Devour

Villagers scatter, run round corners and cower. Catching one heals you and makes you fractionally bigger.

Atomic breath

A charged beam that cuts a line through a city block. It drains fast and recharges slowly.

Army

Armour closes to gun range and shells you. Infantry keep their distance and are not worth your time.

Navy

Destroyers stand off the coast and lob artillery over the rooftops at you.

Air force

Helicopters orbit and fire rockets; jets line up strafing runs and climb away.

The five cities

  1. Shirahama Fishing VillageBoathouses and a coast road. A hatchling comes ashore and nobody has told the coast guard yet.
  2. Kurogane TownFive storeys, a garrison from the next prefecture, and the first helicopters.
  3. Minato Harbour CityA working port with a naval squadron offshore and jets scrambled inland.
  4. Ashida Financial DistrictGlass towers at sunset, evacuation sirens, and everything they have left.
  5. Neo-Tokyo CentralThirty storeys, at night. The army was never the problem — rival titans come to meet you.

Clear the fifth and it keeps going: each further wave is a taller skyline, a heavier response and one more rival.
