Your source link is dead.

logun 2012-12-17 09:06

Thank you, I deleted the link. I will try to give a good one asap !

edocentrique 2012-12-17 09:45

It's original

madmaw 2012-12-17 09:49

I love the monster animation

LucaPavone 2012-12-17 09:52

Great idea, but very difficult, like you said!

logun 2012-12-17 10:20

The lady's light is more often on the top beds. Try to attack the other children first ;)

feili 2012-12-17 11:15

nice game, a leaderboard and a retry button would make it complete =)

har_g 2012-12-17 14:31

AAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME

boxerbomb 2012-12-17 14:33

hard but orignal

cthu 2012-12-17 14:49

Rough but fun!

robashton 2012-12-17 15:20

Lovely graphics, nice game idea too.

I wish I could draw like that!

fishbrain 2012-12-17 16:17

nice idea, but tricky gameplay... nice graphics and awesomely creepy looking monster!

chribbe1 2012-12-17 16:20

Great idea! "You score when a child is crying" - that's evil. Graphics are great, and makes the game very understandable while still unique. Nice job..

sclark39 2012-12-17 17:13

Beautiful animations, and great concept! I'm not sure how to avoid getting spotted, the lady just keeps staying at the bed. Reminds me of some parts of Super Mario RPG.

rumachine 2012-12-17 17:34

wow, that is a beautiful game.

logun 2012-12-17 18:12

Yeah, I had no time to finish her behaviors when no child is crying. She have to back to her chair. Actually, you must move before she come ;) !

tobiasw 2012-12-17 18:22

The monster animation is lovely - and so are the graphics overall. It's really a pity you don't have sound effects (crying! wooshing!) or music to build more atmosphere!

The gameplay is cool, but sometimes I have problems figuring out if I will be spotted. I'm not sure if I play it wrong or if it's not too clear.

Overall: Good job!

PS: Good work with the title screen. Your post in the blog while you developed got me to try this game out.

PPS: Restart with F5 instead of an easily reachable key? :/

logun 2012-12-17 18:39

In fact, the variables didn't want to reset properly with the key. Sadly, I chose to avoid this problem and concentrate on the lady IA (1/2 of my time on this game I think).
The light isn't very buggy (very few times, she can spot you frome everywhere :D), but hard to avoid ! The route must be a bit planned ;)

saampahlavan 2012-12-17 22:43

really difficult couldn't quite get the old lady to go back to her post. interesting concept though!

meep 2012-12-18 00:57

Very neat idea; I really enjoyed it. :) The monster animation was a very nice touch.

clownybastards 2012-12-18 06:18

I just love the idea of this game! Is amazing!

papygaragos 2012-12-18 11:56

quick and simple, and yet I keep reloading the page :)

Great atmosphere, really appropriate graphics, and an overall "I am a sneaky monster" feeling that is hard to describe and that I don't really know how to express in the rating.

The only think I don't like is the "shaking the bed" controls. I don't think smashing the keyboard matches the sneaky gameplay

william_edwards 2012-12-18 12:27

very nice concept and execution! Although I was hopeless at it, I kept trying!

iamorim 2012-12-18 15:09

Great game. Old idea about monsters but new concept. There could be a restart button :P

loren 2012-12-18 16:13

Great mood! Loved the controls too, nice job!

singpolyma 2012-12-18 16:35

Quite tricky, and fun :)

arch-jslin 2012-12-18 16:55

Neat animation for the monster :D But is it possible to fill even a single scared-rate bar? :p I loved this concept anyway!

ludonaut 2012-12-19 17:44

Original and beautiful. I love it.

georgebroussard 2012-12-20 14:11

Loved the concept. Very original. I filled a few bars but nothing happened. Would be neat if that was a requirement and there were a couple other things in the game. Very good start and very original and cool idea. Worth playing with some more.

greenpixeldev 2012-12-20 19:10

Great idea! Unique concept and charming art style :D

zenmumbler 2012-12-21 00:29

Oh, if only this had creepy soundscapes and scattering monster claw feet sound effects, it would be perfect! That creature is hideous, I'm glad I'm not a kid on some orphanage... Or Am I? DUN DUN DUN

faust 2012-12-21 08:12

Cool concept, but I just can't fill up a full gauge, does anyone make it?

logun 2012-12-21 13:27

Me ;)

apradun 2012-12-21 18:08

Nice idea but game is quite simple.

illugion 2012-12-21 18:18

Really cool and innovative gameplay, i liked the monster design too, he looked really cool!

sunshiranui 2012-12-22 11:35

Nice game, but I wish it had better button placement!

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-22 11:58

She spots me when I'm far away :/ But very very original and awesome! I felt evil

logun 2012-12-22 16:30

Just after the competition, a friend tell me the game has a left handed configuration, I didn't notice it during the 48 hours ! :/

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-23 20:30

This is an incredible idea :D

lotusgame 2012-12-27 11:31

Cute game ! I like the monster you play, slipping from bed to bed. Very good idea !

laaph 2012-12-28 21:05

Awesomest game I've played from LD25 so far!

van-merwan 2012-12-29 15:57

The game is good but I had little trouble understanding how to not be seen.

superdisk 2013-01-01 23:45

Cool idea but that darn lady catches you all the time.

impulse9 2013-01-01 23:51

Very cute and original. Great entry.

tau7153 2013-01-02 01:56

Very nice art and original gameplay, well done.

winterblood 2013-01-02 12:56

Feels slightly clunky to move around, and I'm not a fan of the track-and-field toggling TBH. But a *great* monster design and overall concept!

goerp 2013-01-02 14:51

Thats a scary monster. Very well done.
Also very original take on the theme.

I like it a lot.

ddionisio 2013-01-07 01:22

That monster really looks scary! Great job on that! I enjoyed making strategies on the order of kids to scare. Other than that, I failed a couple times when I thought the light wasn't going to spot me. A retry button would be nice.

steamgirl 2013-01-07 17:34

Hahaha! Loved this! It's simple, fun, great graphics. I love the big monster claws and the way it feels. Unqiue, quirky, full of personality. Really enjoyed it.
