A high schooler's life takes a crazy turn when he is reunited with his childhood friend who, occasionally, turns into a 300-ft tall kaiju.

The Kaiju is My Childhood Friend is a kinetic-novel slice-of-life romcom. You play as the beleaguered childhood friend of Akai Juu, an awkward girl with a strange condition that causes her to turn into a kaiju when she is emotional. The game is composed of a variety of short, simple minigames that intersperse story segments. Being tasked with helping to cure "Kaiju-chan", you must ensure that she doesn't stress herself too much lest she resorts to plan B: the destruction of the entire city.

Instructions:
Arrow Keys to move
Z/Space/Enter to interact or select
X/Esc to cancel or open pause menu

Estimated length: ~20 minutes

Very enjoyable! I honestly want to see how this story continues, it looks fitting for a TV show, too.  Any chance for a sequel? I would pay for a "full version" of this game.

Glad to know you like it! If there is another Kaijujam this year we will be making a sequel!

Yippee

An incredibly charming short game!♡

Cute, Funny, Weirdly relatable at times, + having some nice art leads to a game that's already quite enjoyable. The fact that it keeps things interesting by providing varied yet fun mini games makes it all the more entertaining.

It's also quite short, making it a nice quick rom com to warm the heart. I very much recommend playing it!

Once again the art is just incredibly charming, as were the characters♡
