The game is very smooth, I like it :D I had fun playing as Cthulhu and eating humans, but I think it was nearly impossible to dodge the bullets of the soldiers^^
Nifty, like the lighting effects & the movement of the humans. Could *really* have benefited from some kind of Human Radar, often took me quite a while to track down the last guy :p
Pretty good! Hunting down the stragglers got pretty annoying (and time consuming), and it didn't seem that hard (I only went below 20 health once) - but aside from those minor complaints, it was probably the most fun one I've played so far.
Maybe if you had more time you could do a different graphics/sound theme for each level? They were good but they got a bit repetitive.
@DragonXVI Thank you! Yes a radar would be nice, I considered it but thought the slime would tell you where you'd already been. LOVE your entry by the way.
Pretty nice. Fun at the beginning, but got boring rather quick, needs more variation, enemies, etc. Explosions got pretty loud, but the music was nice. Controls are a bit awkward - WASD + click is slower compared to the 'dragging' method, but that one is a bit more chaotic. Also, the barrage of bullets in later levels got impossible to dodge.
@Aurel Bílý Thanks for your constructive comment, unfortunately I did not get enough time to tweak at the end, but I have finished the game so it is possible!
I found the castle or whatever with tons of this crazy dudes, they were running lick cockroaches and I ate them all. well. nice. Bugged on the last guy though, couldn't eat him.
Quite interesting. Engine looks interesting too :D Nothing too bad to say about. I like the contols, i like sounds and the music, the AI is hard enough to make game enjoyable. But I would like to see a pointers for people, because it's pretty hard to find them, IMO
MWAHAHAHAHA I HAVE EATEN ALL THE HUMANS!!!! Anyway, excellent game! It plays very smooth, the graphics are nice, the music made me want to rock out! I also wanted to pat you on the back for the white trail and blood stains as they helped me navigate around the map to find the last humans. Excellent design choice! This is probably a keeper on my pc.
Some thoughts: The white humans move as fast as I do, so chasing them down is just a hassle, never mind finding them. I'm also not sure why you don't just attack automatically, since the hitbox seems to stay out for the whole duration of the attack anyway. Also I wish the drag move could be combined with the asdw move, but it seems that the keyboard overrides the drag.
On a totally different note, the character design doesn't remind me of Cthulhu at all :P
The batch file didn't open the game for me, but the java file did. I'm on Windows 7. As well, the game crashed for me when I went into the building in level one. The graphics definitely leave something to be desired but I like your interpretation of Cthulhu.
I like this one a lot! The gameplay is good and smooth, music, well, I can't believe you fit it in! I am impressed by the music, especially compared to my own skill, which is to the point I just don't do Music. :)
It was frustrating to catch up to the humans (and then get shot by them) but it was quite satisfying seeing them explode into a ridiculous blood spray when I did.
The music didn't seem to fit the cthulhu theme that well; something more creepy might have worked better. It kinda made me think of sci-fi aliens or something instead of cthulhu.
Overall it was a well design game and I had a blast playing it. Things started getting tricky near the end and hunting the remaining humans got a bit tedious, other than those little nicpicks it was damn fun! Great stuff.
Nice performance! I like the graphics. Maybe you should add a mini map to enchance visibility. Adding other enemies with specific pattern would be great too
Thanks for all the ratings and all your comments! I will continue working on this game after judging, so I can incorporate all your ideas and fix the problems you mention.
I like the swish of the tail and the way the blood splatters is really satisfying! Movement is nice and smooth. Bit tough to dodge enemy attacks but you're very generous with the HP so it's fine!
Nice entry. Love the blood splatter. I included it in part 13 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/1VzFVc1MuWc
The light inside the building is awesome. The game is smooth and plays well with the added challenge of mastering the attack animation. Would have liked some more speed as tracking down the humans is hard. One one level, after I was down to 2 humans, the attack button stopped working, which was frustrating! Anyway, good effort!
