My entry for LD33 !

Controls :
- M to stop music
- Use arrow keys to move
- Space to interract

So the theme was "You are the monster" ! Well, here you're just a kind lonely ghost trying to get friends. To do this, you will need to help people in their house, and not scare them doing strange thing because they can't see you. I find this cool concept while thinking to the manga "Dusk maiden of amnesia" so that's why some of you may find the reference.
In the end, this concept bring me to a little puzzle game, where you have to think before acting not to scare the people in each levels. Sadly, because of time, the game has only two ... I had tons of ideas to implement in the game, but I totally missed time to draw and integrate them.

Now, my favorite thing, list time !

What's cool in Yukko :
- Yukko herself !
- Finding and interact with objects

What's REALLY missing :
- More level, with more interractions (I had a lot of level design ideas)
- Interractions bringing reactions (like people moving based on what you did)
- Better graphics, I really need to get better until next LD

Done with :
- GameMaker
- Photoshop
- SFXR
- BoscaCeoil

To conclude, I hope you'll get as much fun playing Yukko as I had making it, even if it's really short, and see you at next LD for more games !

The game needs some polish but it's a good example of how to do some different with the theme. Nice work and as Nikteddy92 said.. Yukko is so kawaii :-)

That's a pretty interesting concept! Do you think of making a post-compo version, with the improvements you mentioned? I would love to play it :)

It's a bit short, and confusing. Good art, 'tho. All the guys look the same. The first scene makes sense, and makes it seem like a realistic game, but the second scene messes up that realistic feel.

The idea is pretty good but as you yourself mentioned the content is a little lacking at the moment. The music loop wasn't my favorite, but the aesthetic felt decent enough.

It's a nice little game you've made here. Care to do a post jam version?

Thanks everyone for your comments ! At this point I don't think I'm gonna do a postjam version, but maybe I'll re-use the concept somedays, who knows ...
