I think this is a cool version of tag sorta with the you only have on element mixed in. What libraries and language did you use?

Good "tag" game, as noted in the other comments. I'm impressed that you would take on a game that involves networking when you've got such a short time frame, well done.

Gameplay lacks a bit of variety, and I did encounter a few bugs while playing - my player shrunk down to mouse size, but I don't know why. I did eventually turn into a monster, but it was rather confusing. A bit more direction (instructions, etc) might be helpful.

I like the painted look of the world, and sound effects, though there's a reason why they only use the Wilhelm scream once (maybe twice) per movie.

Definitely an interesting tag game, but I hit a lot of collision glitches while playing this, which appeared to freeze my game after I got in the van. (The game got stuck and never ended.) The screams were really loud and repetitive. And wait, hold the phone... after I get turned into the monster, I can still drive away in the van?

Creepy, at least at first.

Pretty solid stuff. I have to say I like the moss monster thingamabob.

I love the idea to continue to play after being infected. Great work !

Great submission. The art style really works for the monsters and the feeling of trying to escape sets the mood well. As others have said, there are a few collision issues with the trees and running into other monsters. Also, great audio design with both the main menu music and the npc's yelling.

Unfortunately I couldn't get the multiplayer working with anyone else but the singleplayer was still great.

Great use of the Wilhelm scream! Unfortunately, the AI was a bit daft and commonly got stuck.

Nothing to add over what others have already said. Some bugs, repetetive sound, repetitive music and gameplay gets dull pretty quickly. I do like the graphics.

I continue playing after being infected? Lol

Nice concept, though it does get rather repetitive - though that's to be expected in the context of LD. Is it normal that I can still drive away as a monster?

Wow man... this game is scary! Also, I think I found some serious bugs: my character couldn't hold the weapon (hammer) and I could enter the scape van even as a monster! ;)

I like that you transform in a monster, it kind of makes two games in one! It's a bit strange you can still escape with the van as a monster though.
