Liked the sounds. Pretty funny :) GJ

Really good! Loved the graphics.

Super charming game! I can't believe the whole thing is voice acted, too.

landosystems 2015-08-25 04:26

Fun game, nice art style and good gameplay. Great work!

valid4life 2015-08-25 04:30

Awesome graphics!
Enjoyed the music and voice acting!

aumni 2015-08-25 04:34

Really awesome game overall!! I really liked the art and having to retry multiple times to find better strategies. The voices are super cool too. Nice work! :)

Voice acting in a LD game is something I had never seen. Pretty challenging too, I like it! One thing though: it's a little hard to click on the radio, the skills menu kept opening.

Thanks everyone for rating our game, we really appreciate the comments.

@duskpn: That is an issue on computer screens with a lower resolution than 1920 * 1280, which is an issue we had no idea of until an hour after submission. That's why we provided a post-compo version on our website with a resolution fix.

vividreality 2015-08-25 04:55

I meant 1920 * 1080, of course.

A really impressive and fun game! Great graphics and audio!

ryusui 2015-08-25 05:40

Love the concept. A little fidgety getting objects to operate. Really professional-looking, though - what did you use for the animations?

vividreality 2015-08-25 05:42

@Ryusi for the animations we used Spriter Pro.

Nice

The effort put into the game is commendable. Very polished, clear interface, and lots of elements that add to the game such as voice acting. The visuals are really clear and well-done, making full use of the resolution provided. This is a very good game given the time constraints.

The voice acting for the cute/passive-aggressive monster isn't my thing but is probably really appealing for a wide audience. Gameplay is a little clunkier on a laptop as it relies so much on switching between powers which is awkward using a touchpad and number keys. Minor interface issues include the cursor blocking the description of a power at the bottom of the screen.

Very pretty game, with good humor and great audio design! I liked the point-and-click style of it, too. I struggled a bit with knowing what was interactable and how, but eventually I scared the beejesus out of her. Nice entry!

jnyknn 2015-08-25 06:56

I liked the graphics! But that monsters sounded a bit too cute to be scary, heh.

paulsinnett 2015-08-25 08:07

Great use of graphics and sound. Very well presented.

mechanicmoon 2015-08-25 08:22

Hello, The game is pure love. It's very cute, nice graphics and has a mix of gameplay very interesting. Good job ;-)

collaboration 2015-08-25 08:27

Great idea, reminds me of Haunting polterguy, was kinda hard to realise what to do after you yell though, scare meter decrease really fast, anyway - awesome work, love the audio and voice.

nikteddy92 2015-08-25 10:12

OMG HAHAH
I'm gonna call you mister cuddles <3
Nice game, great narrating voice and clean graphic!
Well done!

nal 2015-08-25 10:12

Polished to the nines, with good voice work and a lovely graphical style. Great entry (once I worked out how to bring the actions up)!

acerio 2015-08-25 10:17

Graphics are awesome. I *love* Love games like this. No pun intended.

congusbongus 2015-08-25 10:34

Outstanding, I love how polished the graphics and audio are.

karai17 2015-08-25 11:00

Great entry! LOVERS UNITE! The voices are super cute, as is the art. Gameplay is solid too. Great job!

druid 2015-08-25 11:10

s0lll0s 2015-08-25 13:23

bakpakin 2015-08-25 14:21

Wow! This is really awesome! I love the voice acting and the art.

hive-interactive 2015-08-25 14:39

Voices are awesome! Good work :)

jakel168 2015-08-25 15:40

A little buggy but it's overally fun, and scary too. Your audio work was pretty good.

windmill-games 2015-08-25 15:57

The amount of features and polish in this game is through the roof! Fits the theme perfectly and has amazing art. Easily one of the best LD entries I have played.

I Löve it :)

zccc 2015-08-25 15:59

Ahah very cut audio and graphics :) It was a bit hard scaring the girl but I did it!

corgicommander 2015-08-25 16:58

Very good presentation, especially within the time frame. Will have to add this to my "Play Again" folder ;)

cgmorton 2015-08-25 19:03

I never really figured out how to use the different powers, the one that turns you red in particular - I mean, she still thinks you're cute if you're spotted while monstrous.

Neat game though. You might say I... 'love'd it?

SophieExMachina 2015-08-25 21:13

Very nice game!! The voices were pretty adorable!
I made a small video with gameplay footage of it, I couldn't really figure out how to properly play it though.
Check it out here if you feel like it!!

Thanks for all the lovely comments :)
@SophieExMachina, thanks for taking the time to make a video! We really appreciate it!

kmiitz 2015-08-26 18:29

Nice game! Liked your efforts for coming with an original concept. Also the graphics and the general atmosphere are really well done. Only the gameplay (control of the monster) could be a little bit improved.
Cheers!

paveldlouhy 2015-08-27 15:56

Very nice game. Good job!

lafolie 2015-09-14 14:13

The mechanics are a bit finicky, but everything else is great. Very high quality audio/visuals for an LD entry though the perspective makes it a little tough to determine where might be a good place to hide.
