I liked the way you interpreted the theme and how you used it with the colour scheme you chose. Collisions are a bit strange sometimes, maybe it's just me...
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD29 → Shady has to eat

@alvarop Did you mean it's quite hard to go up/down the surface. Maybe because Shady is too fat for those holes.
@alvarop Oh I forgot that those holes were expanded already few hours before I decided to submit the game. Can you describe more about your strange collision experience?
I love the graphics, interesting idea!
i found the idea very interesting (monster has to eat!), but the gameplay was kinda average. a very more bloody eating animations, or a dying animation would have made a huge difference
@pythong Yeah, some cool animations could make a huge difference. But that was all I could draw. I didn't even have enough time for adding some sound ^__^.
nice game. like the hand drawn look.
Well, I can say it fit the theme at least. In the end, the game is very simple: exit through the left hole, follow a cloud, enter in a right hole, and repeat. The quicker clouds do increase the challenge, but the jumping issues are a bigger challenge (as in loose controls). Mostly an average entry in my opinion, below par in many areas, but does well for the theme.
@StencylTuo I wish I could spend more time on the gameplay. Since this is my second entry, using the same tools as the first one, I thought I could take it easier but unfortunately the new version of Phaser was giving me more troubles than I expected. The quicker clouds challenge is just a backup plan. I were glad that I could make it playable in the end.
Nice concept !
This is a great game. Fantastic job! Really great idea and fun to play!
Awesome job! Nice graphics ;)
I like the global aspect, it's very sweet !
I would agree about the scenario : "exit through the left hole, follow a cloud, enter in a right hole, and repeat" it's kind of breaking the gameplay but anyway i had fun !
Exploitable and repetitive but you had a very good idea.
Fits the theme properly.
The graphics were nice and good use of the theme. Your phaser skills are obviously better than mine, but as a framework it is very promising.
For gameplay's sake I would consider having clouds at different height going at different speeds and in different directions. Also making the shadow less transparent so to make it clearer where it is. An animation of shady burning when exposed to sun.
If bottom layer of the dark-zone was patrolled by people with flashlights it would also up the gaming experience I think.
Maybe even a dark/light cycle on the above world where night implies safe roaming but fewer people or so?
Nice start, but some more work on the game-aspect so it's not only about running around in a circle.
@local minimum The cloud variations feature like you said was cut because some technical issues. I really like the idea about people with flashlights in the bottom layer. They should cause some damage to Shady too.
I have to agree with StencylTuo about the gameplay aspect, the idea was okay but with clouds moving the way they do the game is too repetitive. The collision detection also feels a bit unforgiving when jumping near the edge. The graphics are nice though, overall the game looks well finished.
Neat little game with simple mechanics. It's fun being the bad guy sometimes too
Gameplay feels repetitive, but good graphics.
Pretty neat, I liked how I could use the clouds to avoid sunburn.
Interesting game. It would be cool, if the clouds moved randomly, not just in one direction. This way, I can plan my "strategy" easily. But that's just an idea.:)
Interesting idea. Would have been cool if the clouds came from different directions and at different speeds. Extra levels would have been cool too. Nice simple art style. Good work.
The game doesn't have a ton of challenge once you learn to just run back to the left underground and jump up and follow a cloud across the top. I like the idea though.
You'd think that if a monster was eating people on the street, at some point, people would stop coming out. :)
Quick and fun arcade goodness. I like the way the gameplay works, but i think adding different behaviours for the clouds would make it much more interesting
Liked it. I would just change the gameplay a bit: you could have more layers of food apering in different times. A little bit boring once you get the way to play forever.
