The Catcher Van took the compo theme to absurdity, an idea so foul that unity decided two straight up remove my prefabs at random during development, costing me chunks of time to piece everything back together.
You are most certainly a monster in this game, but what sort of monster?
Controls can b redefined from inside the game, so please do that, if you forget, a brief tutorial is available on game start, so go on, enjoy it, you filthy, filthy animal :P
Overall a really fun game! It's amazing to see how much you got done in 48 hours! Especially seeing as you made all of your own art and sounds too. There were a couple of issues e.g the dev console being shown at start, but generally this is a solid game!
Love this! Really fun to play & a great ending. Twisted without being offensive. Very funny sound effects!

Maybe I should remove the offensive tag from the entry perhaps? Couldn't see the dev console on my version of unity. Glad you liked the sound effects and the theme :) , I'll be sure to play your games tonight :P
I am a terrible driver. Ran over half a dozen kids before realising I wasn't collecting them! XD Fun to drive around in, and I was definitely not expecting that ending!
Who need candy? The kids were piling in my van! Caught 15 total and made a lovely stew - then ate the candies too! :D
Good little game, nicely done :D Only thing that I'd change would be to have the sprites always facing the camera, occasionally I couldn't see people coming at me! :P great work.
I had some stability issues with the game hanging from time to time, but otherwise a funny game. I enjoyed the ending.

They would have done things, had unity not chosen to remove my prefabs directory with an hour to go, different times of day would have spawned more children, etc. sadly the last hour was spent reconstructing 30 or so prefabs. :(

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
Brilliant game! Great fun, and funny voices. Simple graphic style, but it really worked! One issue- did the camera have physics? Because a guy somehow ended up on my van and bumped the camera out of place, making it unplayable.

Neat game. Running over people with an ice cream truck reminded me of Sweet Tooth in Twisted Metal.
Quite the concept! Well made game. I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/fxtKngYPsCg
