Fun!

I almost scared myself while playing :) Love the kitties :)

That was pretty cool. It's a nice concept that has some good potential. Love the sounds on the cats.

kassimkot 2015-08-25 13:22

was interesting actually. couldnt figure out what was the cat for. and im not sure how to exactly end the game. nice game though.

Didn't like it. Everything felt too sketchy since the models until the gameplay itself. Only the buildings got my attention.

jofra 2015-08-25 15:18

for a second they sounded portuguese :P
Very fun game! and i like a lot the "mirror´s edge" style colors. ( any game with white and red i emidiatly think in mirror´s edge X) )
great job

Everything felt quite confusing but the overrall concept is quite good.

I was really big and already ate everyone. How can I win?
The iphone and the kittens are nice idea :)

de_von 2015-08-26 10:17

There are 100 people, and you have to eat all of them to win. But yes, it becomes difficult to find them later in the game. We will try to improve on that in the post-jam version.

Interesting concept. Found a massive cluster of people all in a circle and ate them all at once and went FLYING!

...outside the level bounds :)

Laughed out loud, for real. The sound effect just had me laughing. The mechanics started to fall apart later in the game, but up until that point I was having fun.

Cool concept!
Love the visual and smooth gameplay!
Well done!

Really sweet art! I think that I ate all the people in the town, but nothing happened, just grew really big. Is this normal? Some of the people clipped through buildings, so maybe I did miss somebody?

de_von 2015-08-28 13:23

Yeah, we've got some problems with the collisions and it may be possible for some of the people to go through the walls and thereafter make it impossible to complete the game. We will address this issue in the post-jam version. =)

What?? XD
Screams are great!!

kai20 2015-08-30 13:48

i din´t know waht i am playing but it feels very polish and great

xanjos 2015-09-04 20:07

Don't know why it launches you upward when you eat people (a bug perhaps?) but this is a brilliant concept and I absolutely loved the use of audio especially with the crowd screaming. Also that free iPhone trap made me laugh a bit :)

fdslk 2015-09-09 14:54

Really nicely done, it's fun and the idea would be nice to have it as a full game.

norgg 2015-09-09 16:28

Enjoyed how surreal this was.

Only managed to get up to about 53 or so before I couldn't find any more people on the level.

mikeenoch 2015-09-11 14:32

Had a little trouble with the web-player version being bigger than the window it was played in, but managed to play in the end. Like the idea, the screaming sound effect got annoying after a while but I did literally laugh out loud the first time I used a kitty to draw people in.

This game has some nice twists that put it ahead of most of the eat everyone entries in this LD. Great work!

I would recommend some kind of visual feedback while charging as I initially didn't know what I was doing wrong, but it simply turned out I did not press space long enough.

de_von 2015-09-11 17:41

Thank you all so much for your feedback. We will definitely try to add and improve some parts in the future.

pixzleone 2015-09-11 18:01

Nice! :)

mase 2015-09-11 19:48

The limited palette & shaders look great.

I "eated" 85 people; I suspect the rest flew out of the level... can't say I blame them. :P

killedbyapixel 2015-09-11 21:08

- graphics look kind of cool, i like the tilt shift effect
- hiding in the shadows is kind of fun
- feels like i need something to attack me
- it's a bit too easy, i feel like there's no threat from anything
- i ate like 80 people and now i can't find anymore

ueki_shurei2006 2015-09-13 09:54

I like the fact that the people actually talk, even if I don't understand what they're talking about. Though I would like a lose condition to balance the game out.

poptartftw 2015-09-14 19:16

NICE!!

wavertron 2015-09-14 19:53

Growing larger was a nice touch, kept me interested. I "eated" 78 peeps, then it seems to break. I also found a few big clusters of peoples spinning, bit of a bug yet it was fun to eat them all in one go :D
