The Neverending Forest of Beasts is a game where you play as a killer rabbit and you must kill things hiding in cardboard boxess and gather their souls.
There are about four different room types where treasure gets randomly generated.
A lot of features were cut because I ran out of time to implement them, but this is my first Ludum Dare entry so I am glad I was able to submit anything at all. I wouldn't have had much time tomorrow to add anything because of work, so I submitted it early.
Controls: WASD - Movement Mouse - Menu Interaction
bodsey, I added the source so if you download that folder and open it up in love 0.8 it should work for you on the mac. I'd prepackage but I don't own one myself.
If I click the up or down arrows on the help screen, it just gives me an error! It's not really clear how the items work (I mean, the descriptions are fine, but even after playing it a couple of times I'm only somewhat sure that you click the button and it increases your stats... right?). I didn't get any meat (which means my plays were rather short) and the movement speed is way too slow.
Still, the graphics work perfectly, the battle theme is awesome and OMG THAT BUNNY IS HEADED RIGHT AT ME WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE
I will fix the crashes with the help menu, thank you for the feedback on that. I knew I forgot to test something...
Do you guys think this is something I should continue to develop? I've always wanted to do a game that was a roguelike and jrpg combo. Of course, I would probably overhall the combat completely.
So this is where all the lost packages go! I see no other explanation for why there are boxes lying around in a mystical forest! :P
I fairly enjoyed hopping around as a cute little killer bunny, and I've always loved running around opening treasure chests in RPGs. Well done your first Ludum Dare!
1st Thought: "Holy mother of god, I need new pants" (What I said when the battle music abruptly started for the first time)
Pros: Has the potential to be a fun little dungeon crawler type game. Art/ music were ok.
Cons: Menu was fairly sloppy, but it wasn't confusingly so. The whole Killer Bunny thing could have fit the "You are the monster" theme, but I feel like there wasn't enough present to support this.
Overall: Has potential. I would be curious to see what you did with this, given more time. Looking forward to seeing your entry for LD34 :)
I appreciate your commentary, djfariel. The menu was done very sloppy, i did rush it but I was trying to get it as feature complete as I could in the time frame that was allotted to me. Thank you djfariel and guoboism. <3

The zelda styled art / top down perspective is pretty cute, i like the general vibe of it.
Nice animation of the bunny. I also felt that you moved a little slow and the combat was random. I had three attacks and I'm not sure what the difference was.
It feels like there were a lot more planned for this game. It's really difficult to play. There's so little meat in the game to recover from, and nearly all the boxes I've encountered had monsters.
Definitely felt strange that the overworld doesn't have music. Additionally, the UI can be a little confusing as well. I frequently mistaken the enemy health to my own, for example.
Hope to see some improvements on this. It looks like it could blossom to a fleshed out game.
@Omiya Games - I did have a lot planned, including attacks that actually did different things besides a basic attack and for monsters to be visible on the screen. Unfortunately, I spent too much time planning and not enough time doing.
But I made something and it's kind of playable! I think that is an accomplishment in itself, at least for me. :P

sweety game about destroying boxes!
Fun game though, could use a tutorial or some general guidelines.
Still, the graphics work perfectly, the battle theme is awesome and OMG THAT BUNNY IS HEADED RIGHT AT ME WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE

Good first entry.
This is a great first time entry!
