Since I had an really unfinished version of the game in the Compo submission I am updating this to a Jam Entry to submit another unfinished but updated version of the game..
The game doesn't have an "endgame" so if you reach the maximum level it doesn't have any more content (you can still walk around and slaughter). Originally I planned a bossfight but there was just no time for it.
I enjoyed the thematic intro. it was beautiful and nicely set the stage for me. I liked the idea i was going to impress a princess. It took me a little while to figure out how to hurt anything, let alone consume it. i did though. once in the courtyard, i didn't figure out what to do. nice models!
A shame you didn't get more done, but I liked the humour, both in the story and in the core idea of avoiding being smothered by really, really, nice people. :)
Nice idea, would love to have seen to final version. (perhaps you could enter it in the jam?). Intro was excellent and I love the idea. Not sure what is supposed to happen at the end, I filled up the black bar and nothing.
I know how hard it is to make this kind of game and i think it's a good start, maybe you should add some sounds effect to let us know if we're doing something good
Thanks for feedback everyone ;) I appreciate all of it. Just updated the game and submitted it as Jam Entry with some features you were missing to get along with the game. Have fun!
Looks pretty nice. I like the idea of it, however, the kill/consume mechanic felt unsatisfying. More visual feedback and more challenge to that system would be good. as that is the only thing to do.
I liked this one a lot. The graphics have a nice style, and its pretty fun to play once you figure it out. My only complaint is how annoying it is to comsume villagers, maybe you should make it so that all dead villagers on screen will be consumed.
Nice game! It was fun to find out how to consume villagers and to get stronger, I'm looking forward to the boss! The story and the comments of the villagers create a strong atmosphere, the game just needs some more features to keep it up the whole time!
gameplay & controls are a bit frustrating and repetitive, but i liked the concept anyway, plus the ennemy design wich is completely awesome !

Interesting thing!
"Go right" is kind of a useless instruction though, as you probably spun around a lot at that point :P

Man, I'm sorry... I tried and tried, but I just couldn't work out how to kill anything! I liked the villager characters and the daft comments that pop up over their heads though.

It was hard to tell when to attack/absorb other villagers, some sort of feedback would have been nice.

So... good job? =D
