[Update] : bug fix with collision (for C2 owner, was overlaping instead of collision with object between the light and the monster). Nothing else changed. And there is Src now !

You control a monster. You have to scare children in a dormitory.

Hard arcade style ! Avoiding the light is not easy, you have to think about your route. (Pro tips : start from the beds on the right).

Have fun every one !

Arrows to move
G & J to shake a bed
H to Hide
F5 if you want to retry !

I love the monster animation
LucaPavone17 Dec 2012, 09:52
Great idea, but very difficult, like you said!
Logunauthor17 Dec 2012, 10:20
The lady's light is more often on the top beds. Try to attack the other children first ;)

nice game, a leaderboard and a retry button would make it complete =)

Lovely graphics, nice game idea too.

I wish I could draw like that!

nice idea, but tricky gameplay... nice graphics and awesomely creepy looking monster!

Great idea! "You score when a child is crying" - that's evil. Graphics are great, and makes the game very understandable while still unique. Nice job..

Beautiful animations, and great concept! I'm not sure how to avoid getting spotted, the lady just keeps staying at the bed. Reminds me of some parts of Super Mario RPG.
rumachine17 Dec 2012, 17:34
wow, that is a beautiful game.
Logunauthor17 Dec 2012, 18:12
Yeah, I had no time to finish her behaviors when no child is crying. She have to back to her chair. Actually, you must move before she come ;) !

The monster animation is lovely - and so are the graphics overall. It's really a pity you don't have sound effects (crying! wooshing!) or music to build more atmosphere!

The gameplay is cool, but sometimes I have problems figuring out if I will be spotted. I'm not sure if I play it wrong or if it's not too clear.

Overall: Good job!

PS: Good work with the title screen. Your post in the blog while you developed got me to try this game out.

PPS: Restart with F5 instead of an easily reachable key? :/
Logunauthor17 Dec 2012, 18:39
In fact, the variables didn't want to reset properly with the key. Sadly, I chose to avoid this problem and concentrate on the lady IA (1/2 of my time on this game I think).
The light isn't very buggy (very few times, she can spot you frome everywhere :D), but hard to avoid ! The route must be a bit planned ;)

really difficult couldn't quite get the old lady to go back to her post. interesting concept though!
Meep18 Dec 2012, 00:57
Very neat idea; I really enjoyed it. :) The monster animation was a very nice touch.

quick and simple, and yet I keep reloading the page :)

Great atmosphere, really appropriate graphics, and an overall "I am a sneaky monster" feeling that is hard to describe and that I don't really know how to express in the rating.

The only think I don't like is the "shaking the bed" controls. I don't think smashing the keyboard matches the sneaky gameplay
Will Edwards18 Dec 2012, 12:27
very nice concept and execution! Although I was hopeless at it, I kept trying!
iamorim18 Dec 2012, 15:09
Great game. Old idea about monsters but new concept. There could be a restart button :P
loren18 Dec 2012, 16:13
Great mood! Loved the controls too, nice job!

Quite tricky, and fun :)

Neat animation for the monster :D But is it possible to fill even a single scared-rate bar? :p I loved this concept anyway!

Original and beautiful. I love it.
GeorgeBroussard20 Dec 2012, 14:11
Loved the concept. Very original. I filled a few bars but nothing happened. Would be neat if that was a requirement and there were a couple other things in the game. Very good start and very original and cool idea. Worth playing with some more.
GreenPixelDev20 Dec 2012, 19:10
Great idea! Unique concept and charming art style :D

Oh, if only this had creepy soundscapes and scattering monster claw feet sound effects, it would be perfect! That creature is hideous, I'm glad I'm not a kid on some orphanage... Or Am I? DUN DUN DUN
Faust21 Dec 2012, 08:12
Cool concept, but I just can't fill up a full gauge, does anyone make it?
Logunauthor21 Dec 2012, 13:27
Me ;)
Andrey Pradun21 Dec 2012, 18:08
Nice idea but game is quite simple.

Really cool and innovative gameplay, i liked the monster design too, he looked really cool!
SunShiranui22 Dec 2012, 11:35
Nice game, but I wish it had better button placement!
Logunauthor22 Dec 2012, 16:30
Just after the competition, a friend tell me the game has a left handed configuration, I didn't notice it during the 48 hours ! :/
matthias_zarzecki23 Dec 2012, 20:30
This is an incredible idea :D
lotusgame27 Dec 2012, 11:31
Cute game ! I like the monster you play, slipping from bed to bed. Very good idea !
laaph28 Dec 2012, 21:05
Awesomest game I've played from LD25 so far!

The game is good but I had little trouble understanding how to not be seen.
SuperDisk1 Jan 2013, 23:45
Cool idea but that darn lady catches you all the time.
impulse91 Jan 2013, 23:51
Very cute and original. Great entry.
Mythalore2 Jan 2013, 01:56
Very nice art and original gameplay, well done.

Feels slightly clunky to move around, and I'm not a fan of the track-and-field toggling TBH. But a *great* monster design and overall concept!
goerp2 Jan 2013, 14:51
Thats a scary monster. Very well done.
Also very original take on the theme.

I like it a lot.

That monster really looks scary! Great job on that! I enjoyed making strategies on the order of kids to scare. Other than that, I failed a couple times when I thought the light wasn't going to spot me. A retry button would be nice.

Hahaha! Loved this! It's simple, fun, great graphics. I love the big monster claws and the way it feels. Unqiue, quirky, full of personality. Really enjoyed it.
