*For best experience use WINDOWS build. Reuploaded as it seems that some people experience troubles with win version (both on itch.io and dropbox)* Linux and OS X versions are uploaded now.

My FIRST Game Jam!!! Ludum Dare 33.
///

This game is about cartoony monster creature that hunt cartoony villagers at night. That's SIMPLE.

///

THANK you very much everyone for comments and feedback. Anything will do actually.

///

TIPS: To pull humans out building blocks try to get their attention in front of windows/doors

Left mouse button - move/attack.
Try to avoid bullets attacking from darkness.
Level 3 is the end of the game and it will restart all over again when finished.

It really fits the theme well! I just wish it was a bit more obvious what you had to do; I ended up beating the game fine but at the same time there's not much instruction as to how to lure people outside.

only see a purple null material block at the bottom-right of the screen, and nothing happened after tens of seconds.

Hey A_K_, I added a loading screen to my entry, you might want to check it out again, I think you should be able to run it.

Also, I can't run yours because I am on Linux.

Liked it! Good style and attacking the humans is satisfying.

Web version was a little laggy, but fun concept. Good job!

Fits the theme..Good game

I really enjoyed the theme, the controls felt odd and it wasn't clear what to do, but I really liked the monster and the idea.
Lolninjacatz25 Aug 2015, 05:41
I think that it was a really well done game. The environments and the objects were great and the lights, particles and monster all fit into the theme. I got some Hotline Miami feels from this game, and it was definitely interesting. I think the controls were a bit difficult at times, and the attack sound the monster used got really repetitive and overwhelming after a while. For some reason I kept getting stuck on the 3rd (or 4th?) level after I killed everything. I think you did a great job!

I like the concept of being a prowling monster and hunter expecting people.
I kept expecting my character to jump on the people but it jump short a bunch of times. The jump was also getting stuck on geometry.

Thank you guys for feedback you are really cool!
A_K_author25 Aug 2015, 05:53
Peterkirk, hmm, you are right i suppose creature require better jump mechanics for sure. Just hard to balance all stuff in such a short time. :\

nice job! captures the mood very well.

Awesome! Felt like a boss when pouncing on unsuspecting victims. Would love to play additional levels with increasing challenge. Great use of the theme. (Added web and OS/X versions of my game which you commented on by the way :))

Nice atmosphere.

Man. love the graphics and gameplay, and lightning is soo cool, excellent!

Of the things not already mentioned, I liked the health indicator being the lights on the monster's back. Uncluttered the UI nicely.

Great game there A_K_! I feel like you captured the theme well, the gameplay was enjoyable, and the ambient soundtrack really sold the atmosphere in this game.
Shina6925 Aug 2015, 14:51
Really enjoyed how you worked out the lights on this one. The health bar incorporated on the beast's body was also creative but eventually i got stuck outside with one lazy guy standing inside the house. What a bummer :p
echokain25 Aug 2015, 18:35
Like the style of this game. The lights work well to set the atmosphere.

And good idea for the health indicator on the creature, it's an interesting way to do it (even if I didn't noticed it directly on my small laptop screen ^^)

Cool game that fits the theme! Sometimes the very cool movements was a bit hard. Nice graphics, cool sounds and a nice environment!
A_K_author25 Aug 2015, 19:01
Thank you guys, I appreciate ALL you feedback. The feedback to your game from me won't take long time. LU!

Great lighting effects. Fun idea - felt great murdering humans. Sometimes I'd pounce and miss, and that didn't feel so great.

Pretty enjoyable, the only thing is some more clear end states/level transitions, and some better sounds wouldn't hurt. But it is a good game

It makes a pretty good stealth game. I really enjoy it.

Good entry! I like the idea of predator lurking at its prey. Nice atmosphere and cool mechanic.

Great first game jam entry! A health bar and transition screens would have been a huge plus but otherwise, great job!

Cool game. I would have liked to try it on a touch screen, because I feel like this control scheme would make more sense like that. Main main gripe with this game is no indication of what the people can and cannot see, which makes this game play more like an action game than a stealth game, which is a shame because it really does feel like it shows potential as a stealth game. Cool game all the same, and with the addition of some way of playing stealthily, I would love to play more of it.

I wish it had keyboard controls. It was hard to click on the people. Very fun! If you make more levels let me know!

I love the audio behind this game. The "Huuh?" makes a perfect "alert" sound which tends to make me turn around and try a different direction. I also love that leaping noise. :D
