You play a little monster, trying to scare people.

Points are based on how surprising the scare was.

After a person panics, they run towards the exit point.

If someone exits the level, you have only a limit amount of time to try and scare as many of the remaining people as possible.

Happy scaring ;)

Your monster has two actions:

growl - helps luring guards to where you can properly scare them (must be in hearing range to take effect)

roar - used to actually scare them

Gamepad recommended!

Tip:

Every person has a certain range for vision and hearing.

If you appear very sudden in front of someone, they get scared instantly and you get the maximum points ;)

Input:

Mouse:

move - w, a, s, d

growl - left click

roar - right click

rotate left and right - mouse x

zoom in and out - mouse scroll wheel

jump - space bar

run - shift

Gamepad (windows other platforms may vary):

move - left stick

camera - right stick

jump - a

growl - x

roar - b

run - rt

Looks great, but I guess it's mostly due to builtin Unity shaders. The gameplay was good, however it's in need of a proper tutorial or readme for people to fully enjoy :)

very dark. its hard to see where your player is.

It was ok... didn't really understand the goal though

Would really like to see more levels and expansions on these mechanics, but this is a fun proof-of-concept

I like the concept a lot. The execution feels a little rough, and right-clicking for me kept bringing up the popup menu. Otherwise quite fun.

right click is not a great idea for the web player...liked the rawrrrr!

DruhinM25 Aug 2015, 16:07

The concept is good. I liked it

good game, but its very dark

I think this kind of game was better for the Compo, but the team is the team and time runs fast! Good overall work, although controls have given me a bit of headache

Good game concept, I liked it. Fitted the theme well.
The mechanics needed more refining (played with mouse and keyboard and it was hard to control the camera well)
The audio was good and the graphics a bit too dark.

The sound wouldnt work for me for whatever reason - I'm not quite sure why I didnt hear it, cool game though. I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/L1fCW_I8xho
