You are a monsterhunter, but nobody is scared by monsters anymore (thanks sesame street!) So you have to switch the rule and became a monster, but unfortunately you just meet other monsterhunters, looking like Mario and hunting you.

This game is not a masterpiece and also not very long, but I hope you can still enjoy it a bit :) It was just not my Ludum Dare

Controls:
Movement: Arrow-keys, WASD or ZQSD
Hide: Space or Enter

Note: There is a mute button and its highly recommend to use it (I'm very sorry for the music :D)

Haha, i love the humor on this one!
"Don't eat the cookies or they will think you are the cookie monster!"
Nice art too.
Great game!

The character reminds me of megaman.
BTW, this game is good. I like it. :)

I really love the googly eyes on the cookie monster costume, and the graphics in general. Ducking was just hilarious. The challenge was pretty tough, and took me a few tries, but the quick restart was really good for preventing frustration. Just sad that it was so short.

this is the most accurate monster in closet simulator i have ever played. Charming art, lovely game
Somfunambulist24 Aug 2015, 12:38
Fun premise, smooth gameplay. Could maybe use a bigger gap between cookies though.

A little short, but very well done! The concept is well executed. I especially liked the mechanic of hiding in the closet from monster hunters.
azakhary24 Aug 2015, 12:42
Finished it all! it was short, but heh, it's enough, loved the sound effects and pixelzzz. Last 10 seconds were hard but nice touch, with being able to hide at last moment.

Cute and nice, good graphics and 'plot'! :D

BTW, I fixed the camera and some stuff in my game that you've mentioned.

You should make hitboxes of cookies smaller. It's hard to avoid them.

Tricky at first, very nice. I very much enjoyed this... maybe add more hiding spots or challenges to extend the game and/or make him move a little faster. Nice work.

Timing for hunters and series of cookies is too tight, imo. I like the animation and the plot, though! Nice job!

It got hard pretty fast there!

Simple, but fun! The difficulty does ramp up quickly.

Nice short game.
I love the story, it's funny.

But why? :/ The cookies sounds so tasty :O

Endless runner with a stealth twist. Nice! Some of the jumping parts are brutal, especially with a hunter bearing down on you. I liked it, though!
Also an interesting take on the theme.

I love the ridiculous premise, super creative. Good checkpointing!
ShellfishGames26 Aug 2015, 10:29
Really fun idea, and I actually like how short it is. I don't want to spend 20 minutes on each game.. if I can get the idea and ideally play through the game within 5 minutes, that's perfect (although I admit I've made longer LD games in the past, sorry :>).
The gameplay could need some tweaking - maybe a bit more space between the cookies to make it easier - but other than that it's cool. And funny.

Even though it wasn't very long, or very complicated, there were enough nice touches to make this game enjoyable.

At first I had trouble understanding that the game was resetting me to checkpoints, and I thought I was being thrown into impossible situations by the RNG, but once I figured it out I was able to power through to the end.

I didn't think the music was too bad either!
Jani Nykänen26 Aug 2015, 13:53
Nice little game. I liked the art style.

Cookies are the real monsters :D Great interpretation of the team.

Shame it wasn't arcade style with a highscore system. I wanted to see how far I could go... and then it ended :(

Had fun while it lasted though =D

Cool but short, also the checkpoints are really a nice feature.

The classics 3 stars in humor for the game +1 for the loading duck and +2 for the description ! That's make a good score ! ^^
Quite simple but nicely executed.
A game with checkpoints ! °-° I was thinking that checkpoints was just a legend in Ludum Dare ! ^^

the idea is original. the gameplay is good but gets hard really soon. Wasn't able too pass the 3 cookies in a row. Nice entry.

This made me smile, I LOVE the rotating goggly eyeballs the best, and the story is very funny. I like the hiding in cupboards mechanic but the cookie dodging felt like it could have been a bit more juicy - maybe some particle effects would liven it up? Really nice artwork, and a nice difficulty progression. I also love the loading mallard.

Cute, simple and fun. I just wish there were more to it. I loved the googly eyes.

Good stuff, loving the graphics on this - very charming.

I liked the pixel art graphics, the auto-save that left the frustration apart :P, and the well made controls about it.

Actually i would have liked to see more, i found it intense on how to avoid some of the chasers.

it is a bit sad that it is that short, but nice compo :)
