(If you can't play on windows or lack time, here is a video of a full playthrough: https://vid.me/jhbr#2s )
Take control of a doppelganger mimicking human form during the day to infiltrate a city and devour isolated victims. At night, your true nature and strength is revealed and you have to defend your hideout from invading monsters!
The game progresses a bit more each day ( the city guards react to your crime and increases security). More and fiercer monsters come to challenge you every night.
infiltration phase: up and down to take stairs. "C" to eat people ( make sure you're not in the same room as other humans!)
defend phase: "x" to jump. "C" to attack
Can you become the new king of the land? Can you find and defeat the terrible Gazer? Can you get a really hi-score and tell me how much it is? Such questions can only be answered in... DOPPEL TROUBLE! *theme music starts*
content: - 4 endings - 8 enemy types ( 4 humans, 4 monsters) and an extra boss monster for a bonus challenge. - level up points depending on how many people you ate to upgrade your doppelganger. - possibility to keep going without activating the ending to get a better hi-score (game keeps getting harder).
Fun game, I really liked the graphics and alternating between phases. However, the download site seemed really sketchy and full of ads, and it took me a few seconds to find the right link for the file. In the future, I recommend using another file hosting service, like itch.io or dropbox.
This game is really fun and I enjoyed the heck out of it. It seems like you did a good job pacing yourself and getting the scale right for the jam. I think that if you polished this game enough that it could easily make it's way onto steam if you wanted to sell it. I'd buy it. The two biggest things you could do to improve the game are add controller support (I played the game with a controller using controller companion and it really makes a difference) and maybe giving the monster a higher attack range. Other than that, this one is solid and I'll probably be playing it well after the judging is over! :)
Thanks, that's awesome to hear! I actually started working on controller support yesterday, I'll link a new version in the description when it's done. :D
I like it, the pixel art es great, the use of humans is interesting, the changes between game modes and this little RPG component to increase our habilities. I enjoy it :)
Hi BLOB Thanks for trying my game. Can you please try on 1200x resolutions in unity. and let me know. In the eve I will be playing your game before giving any feed backs
Neat idea and great execution! I like the graphics a lot and the sound fits. I think it's pretty fun having the gameplay change between feeding and defending state. Fun game for sure! Regarding your comment on my game Shicken, you change weapons with the number keys 1-4 :)
Very nice job. Sneaking and eating people was definitely the highlight and could have stood on its own, but a progression system and parallel game is an interesting addition. Nice music and sound and great animations. Congrats on finishing. I hope you keep developing this.
Really cool you were able to finish effectively two different game types. The "Crunch Crunch Crunch" was funny text to popup. However, Most of the time for the day sections I ended up just camping in the towers.
Pretty solid game, like the graphics and mood, good stealth mechanics too.

Wooooooooow! Cool !! really enjoined !! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35. Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
Damn hard but really cool game! I loved the minimalistic graphics style, also the RPG characteristics and the general idea is really rad too! Congratulations!
Cool game! Great atmosphere and feel! Had some trouble with the key controls, probably due to the cheap keyboard I was using. This would be fun with an NES controller!
This is a really great game! The theme was spot on and very fun. The only things that I would recommend is to have some variation on the level structure day to day as it gets repetitive to work in the same level each day/night, and the jumps felt a little off in the night phase.
Having only two levels was my trick to save time for that jam :p Was hoping variation would come from the new types of ennemies and their special abilities.
For a full game I'd definitely rather have the doppel move from city to city.
Really nice game you made there! The only thing I didn't like about it was how jumping work. It would've been much more comfortable for me if I could control height of the jump bu holding the button longer. Other than that I liked everything, good job!
Thank you! You can actually jump higher by holding but it's too sensitive (barely holding already gives the max jump). I'll edit that in the post jam version. :)
What a great entry! It was really fun. I had fun trying to find the people alone, though it was hard because it took so long to crunch the humans down! I loved that there were two phases too, very unique and cool! Nice job. :)
I'm late to that game here, but I just wanted to say that it was pretty good. I didn't beat it (i'm rushing to rate more games) 'cause it's pretty tough, but it's a well polished entry.
not eat enough always!! ToT so always let me struggle in these fighting(in my home?) and can not live long enough..orz otherwise, i really love the change in the town as the time flows....(blue sorceress is nuisance，but could not built menace at first haha) also these up/down method are genius. i always love these game which have differents mode and each have different rhythm, in your game ,i feel you integration them together very well and made a wonderful experience for player.( trick to action and exicting to fight!) finally also sorry for my comment too late,just seen/try your game serval days ago but not have time to leave my comment before!tot congratulaions for your cool game! (btw, these reeper really hard to defeated!)
Thanks for checking my game even after votes ended! I love games that mix mechanics to avoid repetition, was fun to make! :) I think I will add an easier mode because it seems a bit too hard overall.

This feels like a game I would've played for hours during my IT classes at highschool.
Can't think of any negative feedback to give.
However, Most of the time for the day sections I ended up just camping in the towers.
I like the details on pixels
@ultrarat: Yeah but you can't camp much in following days as guards spawn in the towers first.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
