The concept is hillarious. The artwork is fantastically cute and well-made. I love the humor of this game. This is a seriously great achievement in a weekend, great job!

Five stars for the graphics for sure! Wasn't so sure how this related to the theme though.

Great entry, music is awesome and Nessie is so lovable. Great job :)

Super cute! I immediately experimented to see what the disguise did and lost it, which was kinda sucky since it's a long time before you get a second one. I wish the humans had some kind of tell for when they are about to turn, like maybe a pause or an animation, or a sound, or whatever, since the punishment for getting caught is so severe it might help encourage people to get at it if they feel more in control and more like getting caught was their own fault instead of just getting unlucky. Overall very cute, well done!

Nessie is adorable:) I particularly liked the disguise!

Nessie is real! I knew that! When I lose, that creature looks so sad that I feel bad.

Very fun little game. I like the disguises and the ending in particular. Hoping to see a finished game with more levels in the future!

What, you mean the nose and mustache routine doesn't work in Scotland no more? :D Cute game! Perfectly done stealth mechanic with a really cute and unique theme.

Cute, funny and clever! I don't know what manner of mind takes "Connected Worlds" and comes up with sending Nessie on a stroll through Scotland in search of a UFO, but I'm not complaining. One of the funnier entries I've seen, good job.

Hey, did the web version stop working? I couldn't get it to run in Firefox or Chrome (seems to be complaining about some 404s)

@mrspeaker It should still be running normally. We have seen some machines have a hard time with the web version due to the stress of WebGL and an inefficient shader on our part. The experience is definitely much better with the desktop versions.

Challenging and great graphics although it seemed a little dark. I couldn't get past the 3 lights near the lake but I kept trying. Good job.

Very cute! :)

For some reason it wouldnt really run on my pc but it looks pretty cute! I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/3RN80xyak-c
