I think this is a cool version of tag sorta with the you only have on element mixed in. What libraries and language did you use?

SFML and C++

Good "tag" game, as noted in the other comments. I'm impressed that you would take on a game that involves networking when you've got such a short time frame, well done.

Gameplay lacks a bit of variety, and I did encounter a few bugs while playing - my player shrunk down to mouse size, but I don't know why. I did eventually turn into a monster, but it was rather confusing. A bit more direction (instructions, etc) might be helpful.

I like the painted look of the world, and sound effects, though there's a reason why they only use the Wilhelm scream once (maybe twice) per movie.

Cool tag game!

Definitely an interesting tag game, but I hit a lot of collision glitches while playing this, which appeared to freeze my game after I got in the van. (The game got stuck and never ended.) The screams were really loud and repetitive. And wait, hold the phone... after I get turned into the monster, I can still drive away in the van?

Pretty solid stuff. I have to say I like the moss monster thingamabob.

Creepy, at least at first.

I love the idea to continue to play after being infected. Great work !

Great submission. The art style really works for the monsters and the feeling of trying to escape sets the mood well. As others have said, there are a few collision issues with the trees and running into other monsters. Also, great audio design with both the main menu music and the npc's yelling.

Unfortunately I couldn't get the multiplayer working with anyone else but the singleplayer was still great.

Great use of the Wilhelm scream! Unfortunately, the AI was a bit daft and commonly got stuck.

Nothing to add over what others have already said. Some bugs, repetetive sound, repetitive music and gameplay gets dull pretty quickly. I do like the graphics.

I continue playing after being infected? Lol

Nice concept, though it does get rather repetitive - though that's to be expected in the context of LD. Is it normal that I can still drive away as a monster?

Wow man... this game is scary! Also, I think I found some serious bugs: my character couldn't hold the weapon (hammer) and I could enter the scape van even as a monster! ;)

I like that you transform in a monster, it kind of makes two games in one! It's a bit strange you can still escape with the van as a monster though.

Couldn't run on Ubuntu 13.04 due to:
