Very nice drawn graphics!

Not bad, it's not a piece of cake to get the kid going where we want! Maybe a little static, small anims would have been nice, and keyboard control too

I liked this game, the reverse tower defence concept was very innovative but when it came to actual gameplay got quite repetitive and boring, this could be fixed with a little variation (more than one monster, upgrades for monster(s) etc) I really liked how you could choose what upgrade the hero got and found it very interesting, it suited the theme perfectly, not uniquely but perfectly all the same, I LOVED the art style (especially the menu, it was amazing), the music was brilliant (could have done with sound effects though) and the music set an excellent mood. Nice game but really needs a whole lot of improvement when it comes to gameplay.

Phew, I managed to complete it somehow.
The yay:
- pretty cool mechanics idea
- pictures
The nay:
- gameplay felt very clunky
- large luck factor in level 3 - the success depends on whether the kid goes up or starts wandering down
- the game could use mouse-based camera scrolling (i.e. when you reach the edge, the map moves)
The meh:
- ingame graphics
Overall, pretty cool idea, although the execution falls a bit short.

I never figured out when space actually does spawn a new monster. Interesting idea, but a bit intractable gameplay.

Clever use of the theme! It's always an interesting challenge when you have to indirectly control a character like that, based on your proximity to the them. Only rough bit was trying to move the camera around while also controlling the monster.

I didn't really understand this game. When I moved the monster, it didn't move with the mouse or anything. This should not be done with the mouse. Also, the human just stabbed me even if I was in the bush or whatever. I don't understand this game, I am sorry.

if the controls are much more fluid, it would be awesome

GREAT base mechanics - with a bit of polish this could be a ton of fun :)


Game is funny to play. Love the random movement of the child
