RULES ###

It's bed time, the monsters are out to get you, and your blanket is just too small to cover your body!

Cover your exposed limbs to fend off the approaching tentacles.

The tentacles will only go for your feet, hands and head.

If the tentacles reach you it's game over!
- SURVIVE TILL 7 AM

CONTROLS ###

* Move blanket by dragging the mouse
* Change windows size by pressing F1-F6 on the title screen

MADE BY ###

* Simon Larsen (Programming, sound)
* Lukas Hansen (Artwork)

Great game! Story of my life (without the tentacles, though).

Fantastic game! Good job!

Masterpiece!!!

Incredible game, unique idea and graphism. I loved the glitched effect on the game over, the overall mood, the color choices.

Great execution and take on the theme. Well done.

tehryanx28 Apr 2014, 22:05

this was really great. I set the source aside so I can have a close look at how that blanket works. Overall amazing job.

MaesK28 Apr 2014, 22:07

Really inmersive, great sound, and visuals (except the face of the man, ugh). Even the blanket moves pretty well.

I was nervous all the time, nicely done. Now let me sleep quietly without monsters, please :D

SO AWESOME! Art was good and it was amazingly unique.

hexabeast28 Apr 2014, 22:09

Great graphics and original gameplay! Why didn't he just buy a bigger blanket? ;)

Volute28 Apr 2014, 22:19

Wow, scary! The graphics and the mood are just perfect.

DrMelon28 Apr 2014, 22:27

Really awesome! Super creepy, I love it! Nice cloth physics thing you got going on there.

Linkigi28 Apr 2014, 22:44

I enjoyed this game a lot. It's an interesting take on the theme and it is very unsettling to play. Looks and sounds great and runs perfectly. It's also about something that everyone can relate to. You've captured that vulnerable feeling well.

The head at the top of the screen scares me the most. This game is fantastic. The shader was worth every second you spent on it!

boringprogrammer29 Apr 2014, 09:42

Really great and innovative use of the theme!

Interesting mechanics. They are really unique, cool use of physics and pose a nice challenge!

The atmosphere is really awesome, a little Lovecraft inspired horror. It fits the theme perfectly!

All in all, great job. Hope to see you guys again next time!

Simple but really fun! Graphics and sound go creepily well together. I urge you to publish this on touch devices! :D

danbo29 Apr 2014, 12:03

That's a mighty pretty blanket. Really good work with the effects, fun game too!

PriorBlue30 Apr 2014, 04:04

The shader effects are really great combined with your pixel art.

TheGreenTie30 Apr 2014, 14:14

This is pure innovation.
Possibly my best LD29 find yet!
Good. Job. Mate.

Nichii30 Apr 2014, 15:04

THIS IS PERFECT!, 10/10 XD I love this idea since thats what most children feel when they sleep with small blankets XD. There's nothing much I can say for you to improve this cus its already awesome XD XD.

TeamEagle30 Apr 2014, 17:09

wow, this is really great!

javifugitivo30 Apr 2014, 17:09

I think that this is a mini-masterpiece. I have said.

CryoGenesis30 Apr 2014, 20:42

A really great game. Well done!

_Rilem1 May 2014, 07:29

This game gave me nightmares. o.o
No really, the concept is pretty messed up. Made me totally uneasy. :D

The fact that it is a child totally helps set the mood. A primal instinct for you to protect your child from the monsters of the dark. The anxiety that this game evokes is quite a real feeling.

Great idea, great entry.

rnlf1 May 2014, 18:20

Cool concept. I really liked the "creepy" shader. Very new and fresh concept!

I think this would be great as a mobile game with multitouch :D

anissen1 May 2014, 19:03

Really polished (and creepy) game! I kept losing before the tentacles reached me though that might be on purpose... Anyway, great execution and take on the theme :)

King_Mew1 May 2014, 22:55

Nice! I love the distortion effects. I love the theme. I love it.

Christina Antoinette Neofotistou1 May 2014, 23:15

Amazing game!! Keeps you alert, very good player engagement! I will come back to study the lovely graphics :)))

Top marks!

Druid1 May 2014, 23:26

OMG :D Super mega cool :D

rezzish1 May 2014, 23:30

wonderful fantastic design!

ezolotko3 May 2014, 12:49

This is cool

copain3 May 2014, 13:05

very cool. good idea, good realisation, good sound. bravo.

Black Ships Fill the Sky3 May 2014, 15:10

This actually made me feel very panicky. Well done!

Brilliant audio design supporting a really elegant mechanic (that of pulling the blanket around).

I actually move around in my sleep a lot like this. Though I've gotten over worrying about the tentacles. So far so good!

javierecf12 May 2014, 10:42

Great design, graphics are incredible well done, the audio fits really well and the gameplay is solid, one of the best entries i have found.

Moosefly16 May 2014, 00:25

Good night's sleep my ass, I had tears in my eyes goddamnit :P. Really pretty. And moody. And intense. It's solid. Really good job on this one.

I was thinking of going to bed since it's going to be morning soon, but maybe I'll wait until the first rays of the suns light the room up. Or at least gather some additional blankets.
