A gentle sasquatch, you just want to be left alone to roam the North American wilderness; but squatch hunters and campers keep encroaching on your territory! They must be squashed. Or perhaps... squatch'd...
Press W to move forward, mouse to turn. Left mouse to attack, right mouse to roar and attract nearby enemies to your location, so you can sneak up behind them.
I really liked the style in this one! There seems to be a shortage of people to attack, was having trouble finding any, but still a very well put together game!
But one tip, for Unity Web Player builds. If you want to use right-click as a mechanic, you need to chose 'No Context Menu' in the WebPlayer template section of Player Settings. Otherwise, right click just opens a menu box.
Cool idea, there where a lot of camps with no people at them. Graphics works well and this fits the theme well. Its a bit annoying that when you right click on the web version it brings up the web-player menu (might want to change the button for roaring).
@dickpoelen Thanks! Originally it was WASD screen-relative movement, but it didn't really work for the attacking. I changed it up last minute and didn't get it quite right.
@peterthehe Thanks very much :) Being able to destroy the tents (and the fires, for that matter) was absolutely part of the original plan, but along with many other planned features I had to let it go as the deadline loomed :(
Great idea, but hard to control. Couldn't turn sometimes while walking forward for some reason, so felt a bit frustrating when I ended up as a deadsquatch so many times!
Presentation wise it's really good, I do love a low poly aesthetic :D
Very nice game, Roar :) Controls are bit unusual, but wery handy. Would be nice to have some indications like difficulty level and health "potions" like food. But overall I had a blast - thank you.
A nice little game. Good graphics. Is the lighting on the ground dynamic? Really nice! The controls are a bit unintuitive though and I felt like the roar needs a higher trigger radius. Other than that it was fun squashing those campers!
I squatch'd all the hunters in the level (not sure if there is more than one level). I think having WASD controls might work better than following the mouse and holding W.
Nice minimalistic art style. The firelight brightness changing occasionally was a good touch.
I really like the graphics in this game and I generally like the models and mood. My main criticism would be that there is not really all that much to do. (As far as I could gather) all you did was walk around the campsite and kill the campers and then the game was done. Also, the game could do with some instructions; I got a little confused when W, A, S and D all moved you in the same direction. Overall, a really good game with some really nice graphics. Well done!
I squatched them goood. Hahahaha. Funy interesting game. Nice lighting effects. The simplicity was good. Wish there was a bit of background music, but it was solid entry.
Thank you all for your kind words and feedback. Taking some of the criticism I've received on board I've created a post-compo version of the game which is now available on gamejolt (linked above) and itch.io (http://randomhuman.itch.io/squatchin).
This includes the following changes:
* WASD based movement instead of mouse-look. * Plugged the holes in the border (I hope). * Added a camper-counter to the UI. * Increased the number of campers on the first level, and ensured that they will be more evenly distributed. * Added a new enemy type (you should start to see them from level 3 onwards).
Great graphics, fun game! I included it in part 13 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/1VzFVc1MuWc
Awesome concept and extremely fun to play! Wish there were more hunters at a time, but the challenge is still present. Love the minimal style and graphics/audio. Very charming. My favorite thing is the sasquatch roar sound effect. There's something extremely satisfying about that. Could use some music. Would love to see this developed into a larger game. Great job!
Controls were slightly awkward since you have to use the mouse to turn but I like the mechanics a lot especially the roar to attract attention feature.
