#More info: # #As soon as people see a victim the will stand on watch and #you cannot kill or eat in their immediate vicinity. This is #a shortcut for a feature i meant to implement but didnt get #around to. It is basically the only challenge that is in #the game. As far as i know it is not beatable. And even if, #there is no win condition. At this point this is only #eating people :D # # #There will be a post-compo version, although i'm not sure #it will live up to what i have in mind for it. I will #announce future versions on twitter(@wzl_) though. #########
Love the eating sound effect, got to 14/30 but couldn't get the rest.. didn't quite understand they have to be walking to kill them.. fun idea but should have more of a goal I think :)
Sounds are great and I really like the overall idea as well as the minimalistic graphics. Wish it had a winning condition though :) Following you on twitter now to hear about a post-compo version.
Thoroughly enjoyed how the omnyomnyomn sound plays in time with the music. Lyrical corpse nomming, quite sinister!

Very fun game, graphics were consistent and well sprites well animated. The watchers forces players to use a bit of strategy in an otherwise easy game. I'd like to see the tiles given more texture in future though as right now they are pretty flat and bland compared to the people.
17/30 for me The music is nice and catchy, but I realy don't think it matches the splashscreen or the actions you can make Also, were those back alleys meant to be used?
This was a fun little game. My only gripe is the size of the game window. It's too tiny to see what's going on, a shame because the sprites look lovely.
HAHAHA! I love the sound effects. You have a great start but the game needs more MEAT. Pun intended. I'm glad I finally got it to work. It made me laugh. :D The way the peds react to the bodies is really fun to watch for some reason. Good work!
Loved the sprites and overall idea. :) In my opinion a knife slash with a larger hitbox as opposed to the little stab might feel better. Making the people dense/pushing around you might help with hitting with the knife too; I found I kept trying to stab them while accidentally standing directly on top of them. ): Other than that, good work!
I love the sound effects. The onlooker took me a while to figure out though. I thought I would grow into some sort of monster after seeing the title screen.
catchy 80's-style tune, and awesome graphics that manage to be full of life (or death) despite the teeny resolution. too bad it's really just an alpha build with no win condition. Would be cool to see more elements introduced, like police officers who chase you.
Awesome sound effects and voice-acting (omnomnomnomnom). I'd have liked some way to stab shocked people, though. (And in the game...)

Haha, the sound effects were definitely my favourite part of the game! So epic xD
Besides a few quirks like no z-sorting so sometimes I was standing on people's heads, it was quite fun and flawless! Trying to kill people in relative secrecy so I could scarf down the entrails was fun!
You should definitely add some more game elements and you'd have a fully fleshed out game ready for people to enjoy en masse! ;D
Sounds are really cool. I think you need to adjust the hitboxes/collisions somewhat, as it was often difficult to stab some dudes. Other than that, this was somehow disturbingly fun! Awesome work!
23/30, and whew, that was hard! And happens when you get unlucky just two times...
I like how it doesn't just end with you killing and eating: You have to watch over the corpse too to kill people before they become on-lookers. And you also have to decide between when to kill/eat and when to just kill and eat later when you have a minute. These two mix in an unexpected element of strategy - well done!
The sound effects are really cute and clash with what you are doing - making it hard for me to feel like a villain. Still, the theme is there, and what it loses in Mood it makes up in Humor. The graphics work well.
Haha, I love the sound effects! Love the graphics too, although the city is a bit monotonic. It's a shame there is no real end or goal too, but I really hope to see this in a future post-compo version! Good game! :)
That was pretty neat. Even if it was only a demo, I really felt like wanting to play the completed game.
The Onomnom sound effects were hilarious.
By the way, as the game stands right now, it is better to try to kill as many people as fast as possible, and worry about eating the corpses later. A good strategy is to work from the back of a walking line. :-)

Nice job, by the way!
Looking forward to see where you take it.

A bit lacking in actual game-ness, maybe? But made-up for it with the humour. The music is just so jolly!
Love the sprites too really well done!
Graphics are very well done :)

All in all, a fun entry!
