I am the Monster with one desire: Sneaking around and scaring Kids!
But be aware and do not get spotted by the Kids before you release your giant ROAR.

Arrow keys: move around
X key: sneak
Space: scare

My first attempt at LD, using these tools:
- Godot Game Engine
- Inkscape
- Gimp
- LMMS

Nice idea!
When playing the tutorial it works fine, but in the real game it seems that every time I get in range to scare someone I get noticed at the exact same time :(

It's a fun idea, I can't scare lot of kids :( maybe if game would be more progressive with difficult I would enjoy more

I would have kept the sight lines, or only given certain kids sight. I couldn't get close to a group. I liked the idea though, shepherd a group and get a big scare.

I really like the idea. The kids should go into an alarm state when they see you, not just game over.

I really like the idea of this. However, there were too many kids looking in all directions to really scare a group of them.

Cons: Lack of objective. There is no tactic for player to take while scaring kids.

Entry below average.

I really like the idea behind this one.

The roar sound was great. The music was subtle.

I found the tutorial to be more interesting than the actual game, unfortunately. The game was very difficult and seemed to have a lack of progression. I can scare some kids or not, and the result is the same.

A good first attempt, but it'd be nice to see it taken further, probably via the addition of levels with increasing difficulty, and a minimum number of kids scared to pass the level. Just a thought.

Liked the idea! I think it could have been expanded further with more things to do or levels. Some "level" goal would have been great too, something like scare X kids before time runs out or X kids at once.
The graphics are nice and I really liked the music and effects.
Good use of the theme and nice mood, very lighthearted and I liked that.

Interesting idea, and great that you have a tutorial. I never was able to scare more than 3 kids at once :(

Perhaps if you show the vision of the kids after they spot you, so it is easier to understand how you get seen?
