Kevin the Monster is misunderstood. He just wants to be everybody's friend, but unfortunately he's a green blob with scary teeth and horns.

You can help Kevin make friends with policeman and civilians...

... or you can just act like a monster and scare them all away.

Be naughty, or be nice. This game doesn't judge.

Controls
========

Walk: Arrow keys
Hug: Control (hold for a while)
Shout: Space (hold for a bigger shout)

You'll need to be right behind someone to hug them, or just close by to scare them with a shout. You can't hug or scare anyone who's chasing you, though.

(It's not very obvious when you've grabbed someone to hug them, sorry - post-compo version, maybe! - but note that they always say something when you successfully grab them)

You can hide behind walls and plants to give yourself a chance to sneak up. You can also move the plants to make things easier.

The UI could be a little better, but I love the idea! Making a stealth game on a game jam is a bold move. Well done sir.

PS: poor Kevin.

Thanks for the feedback - and yes, I did bite off a bit too much with this one... :)

Solid entry, smooth controls. Tough to escape once discovered and fun to sneak around. Nice work!

I'm glad our game wasn't the only stealth game in the submissions!
Looks really cool, I dig the idea, as someone else mentioned the UI could definitely see improvement, other than that and a little bit sketchy graphics this is a very well rounded submission :)

Very good. :]

Some problems with the behavior of the "NPCs".
But maybe without this the game could be very hard.

Very impressive stealth-action game for such a short time! Hugging is a mechanic I haven't seen before. ;)

Cute monster game! I enjoy the stealth mechanic quite a bit. The AI seems to do a good job of searching, and then going back to their regular routine.
Good work on the music too!
Solid game.

The policeman are very hard to avoid, especially once they hunt you.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Yeah, I think I could tweak the controls a bit and maybe design the levels a bit better so it's easier to escape the policeman when you're found - that'd be next on the list!

an hogging monster :D Almost had them them all, only 2 or 3 polices were still standing *cry*

Nice game. Pretty hard until you get the stealth timing right - still pretty hard if enough police officers spot you - this is good! Great work!
