haha! You are the monster in how you run away from the monster. Love the idea. The "controls" weren't clear to me at first. I only figured them out by accident.

Nice idea, this is the human behave when run away from the monster...haha

Took me a few tries to understand how to play. I like this game a lot, well done. I played with a mouse - I can see this game is probably a lot more fluid with a touch device. I kept overshooting the button I wanted when making quick choices! I really like how this fits with the theme.

Audio felt a little repetitive after I'd learned to survive for a while.

Definitely better played with touch than a mouse, since it's faster to touch the right thing, at least for me. The controls were not obvious at first, but I did figure them out through trial and error. A little tutorial -- "touch X now!" sort of thing -- would help a lot.

Pretty fun, though, once I got in the groove!

Backwards slide policemen ftw

I think the sound is cute, but the instruction is a bit ambigious

I like the concept of this game where you need to figure out which one of them would reach u first and react to it properly. Great work!

Pretty cool game and art, I understood the mechanics in a few seconds and it could become a really addicting game with some power ups. It's really only missing some sense of progression...

Fun game! It took a while to get the idea that you're the guy running away and the goal is to knock others into the monster, but once you got it it's like a strange rhythm game of sorts. Good job!

Funny! This was rather enjoyable for a project as small as this.
The music does get a bit old after awhile, but I feel like the music fits with the art really well.

Nice game! It took me a while to work out what was going on. Good effort.

grhyll 2015-08-26 11:22

Fun game!
A bit hard with mouse, as you said it may be better with tactile hardware!
It's pretty, the music is neat (but a bit repetitiv), I liked it overall :)
And nice interpretation of the theme!

Simple but well made, cool graphics! Challenging game. I included it in part 6 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/keaznjOtLXA

Pretty fun and neatly done. Would love to see future versions on the game!

kinda interesting. though there's another giant monster behind us so im not so sure who;s the monster here. nice that you've come up with this in the last 12 hours though

adsilcott 2015-08-28 16:05

It is a funny concept trying to kill people to run away from the monster. I had fun. Good job.

skt 2015-08-28 16:22

Great interpretation of the theme ! fun to play, a little hard with a mouse but that's challenging. Nice job !

Pretty fun. I enjoyed the simple visuals. Touch controls felt good. I ultimately lost due to a big break in NCPs.

killersnoofie 2015-09-04 06:36

Very neat idea

dollarone 2015-09-06 21:04

Cool game. IT was quite challenging due to the various movement of the different types of people - cool. Win by sacrificing others...brutal :D

Great twist on the theme! Desperate people do whatever it takes to survive, even if it means becoming a monster. The only issue I have is the difficulty in playing this on PC due to the distance of the buttons, so I'd need a few precious seconds to move my mouse to the right button.
