Welcome to the Monster Training Simulator 2015!

In order to become a monster, you need to undergo some training. If you fail, your monster status will be revoked!

----------

Done in ~10 hours by myself - @iossif

I had ideas and plans for roughly 20 levels but as usual, i found less time than i'd like to make the game. In the current version there are 3 finished levels:

- The Siren Challenge: Sing to lure in the ships
- The King Challenge: Attack planes that attack you
- The Ghost Challenge: Scare people with good timing

I hope you like it. Feedback is welcome!

Very cool collection of mini games. The third one with the ship is just way too hard for me haha. But then again I'm a hunt and pecker kind of typer.

Well done.

I like it! The art style is fantastic!
Sometimes it didn't register a letter no matter how many times i clicked it.

@linus: there is a built in spam protection. maybe that did prevent the button. i will see if it needs to be less strict.

Cute! I too think the reduced palette works well and binds everything together nicely

That scream! Nice little mini game collection with pretty good graphics. I liked it.
iossifauthor24 Aug 2015, 13:56
recording that scream with open doors was not smart. my little one got pretty spooked :D

Love the mini-games and the art is really great :)

Fun little typing style game. I also found the boat level a bit too difficult, but nice challenge overall. Well done.

Great concept - I love typing-based games (Typing of the Dead anyone?). :D All you need is more games and I'd be sitting here playing for a lot longer. Good job!

Glorious art and the sound effects had me laughing. I loved the MONSTROUS drill instructor.
The siren scene was adorable :D

Bit clueless at first on what to do until i noticed the letters.
Good work!

Realy like it! Simple art style was nice and everything worked together well. But this does remind me of how bad I am at typing :)

I particularly liked the first mini-games calling out to the ship so it flowed backwards. The second one, I did press the correct letter when over the correct tile, but maybe it wasn't centered enough. If it needed to be centered, I think that should have been made clearer. This was the only part I never completed. I general a good game and well worked graphics.

i got some feedback regarding the unclear ghost level. i think about how i can make it more clear what to do in that one for the post-LD version.
iossifauthor25 Aug 2015, 20:56
thanks for the video!

This is a great idea and a great little game. Love the art and the different stages. Very clever. But, I suck at touch typing so it was too hard for me. Couldn't quite get through all 3 stages. Good job on the game.

it took me a while to figure out this was a typing game... needs a tutorial that says "this is a typing game" to clear that up or something. They were fun little minigames, though :) Good job!

This is cute, although sometimes it seemed to not get the letter that I typed correctly (or maybe it was showing the wrong letter). Also, it might be more fun if there was more time to type and maybe more things to type?
iossifauthor26 Aug 2015, 22:29
i had way more planned but reality did strike and cut down my programming hours :(
i will add it to the list for the post-LD build!

Heh, I laughed at the drill sergeant.

Typing games! It seems that it dealt only with a subset of keys, and I wonder why.

It took me a few tries to understand why I had failed in the last challenge.

The graphics were very cohesive, although the sound effects were rough.
iossifauthor27 Aug 2015, 21:42
i did choose a subset (basically 8 buttons only) to make it a bit easier.
