Really interesting idea. there were a couple of camera / graphical issues which kinda made some of it either a little dizzying, obstructing, or confusing, but other than that it was pretty cool.

That shader is pretty cool, but it's a little hard to see what's going on sometimes. I wasn't able to figure out the 4th level due to camera angle.

andrew-2 2015-08-24 02:59

@notajetski I added a youtube guide to the easy ending in case anyone gets stuck. :)

Really liked the graphics and audio. The idea was quite interesting but the camera sometimes made it hard to fully understand what was going on. Good work overall.

I love the shader, and the reversed music fits the mood perfectly. I managed to reach the bad ending easy enough, but I didn't have the patience to try my theory about the good ending. Some spots could be a little cleared (what that lower platform is connected to, on the second level, for instance), but overall I found this a rather interesting experience.

Overall I thought this game was quite nice, the gameplay was interesting, the whole thing where you had to evenly distribute the food if you wanted them to survive was nice, I though after a while though the gameplay got quite repetive and boring but you wouldn't have had time to add the features necessary to fix this with this kind of game, I thought it didn't hugely suit the theme but that's okay, I absolutely loved the dark with a bit of purple and simplistic art style and the audio was nice, the darkness and the dark soundtrack made the mood excellent, nice game well done overall.

I'm sorry, I don't understand... I have tried very hard to understand how to pass a level without killing any (unless we just have to do nothing and wait for the time to pass by), and I didn't. It's quite pretty, animations are very nice, music is a bit annoying, but most of all I'm frustrated because I didn't understand :(

andrew-2 2015-08-24 15:08

@Gryll wating for the timers to tick down is actually one of the valid ways to reach the good ending ;)

Interesting graphics, but what I liked most is the way ending makes you feel as if your actions made this game fit the LD 33 theme.

I want to say that the graphics are my favourite thing in this game. The gameplay is very cool as well. This is a game I will return at!

zzcalvinzz 2015-08-24 15:26

Graphics and music were very cool. I liked the multiple levels as well. It was a little difficult to see what the actual objective was, though, and I couldn't figure how not to have the monsters kill each other.

andresilvs 2015-08-24 15:54

The shaders/outlines looked pretty awesoe, the camera angle is a bit off in some levels. Overall it's an interesting game. I was trying to get them to kill each other with the smallest amount of food, but then it wasn't the goal.. I'm a monster!

andrew-2 2015-08-24 16:02

@AndreSilvs Now that you mention it, I might add some stats for speed running/ most click-efficient carnage.

Feeding time!) GJ

Very good graphics and mood. The operation which makes lead by food was fresh and fascinating.

liannethy 2015-08-25 05:29

Really like the shader and the audio fits perfectly. Felt a bit vague on what exactly was happening though, but not in a frustrating way.

lolninjacatz 2015-08-25 05:30

The game concept itself was pretty interesting, and I really loved the style it used for the characters, just showing their outline. I think that there were a lot of well done elements, like the pathfinding and the set up of the environments. The outline style made it difficult to play occasionally since there was no sense of depth at times. The gameplay mechanic was interesting at first, but it felt like it quickly grew stale and didn't add any layers. I personally felt like the background music didn't really match the game and set a different mood to the game than I was expecting. However, I felt like you managed to get a pretty complete game package in the time given and I think you did a great job.

The visuals and the music make it very mysterious, liked that. I was a dummy and completed every level just by making the dudes eat each other and got a monster ending oh no.

thatwhichis 2015-08-25 14:57

I really liked the audio! Nice pathing. I am a conscientious monster feeder :-D

Also: added a slower post-compo version of my game per request :3

goutye 2015-08-25 15:22

Some trouble with the camera, but really interesting concept. Didn't manage to get the second "teleporter" but manage to fed them enough :D

rongefilet 2015-08-25 15:34

I really liked the twist but the "good" ending requires the most boring gameplay.

andrew-2 2015-08-25 16:02

@Rongefilet true to life wouldn't you say? ;)

peecestudios 2015-08-29 00:31

this is tripy af, and kinda(extremely) creepy. It's so great .

Biruts 2015-08-30 00:55

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

n8b 2015-08-30 14:18

Have I to kill other critters and keep mine the longuest I can, or have I to save all critters? Not clear!

But very strange and beautiful, and so it's perfect for the theme.

vividhelix 2015-08-31 02:20

Well executed, but a bit confused about what you need to do. I got to a level with floating little squares and couldn't pass that one. Contoured look and reverse music was cool!

jcwelgemoed 2015-08-31 14:46

Cool game. Liked the style. Camera angle makes bit confusing a bit at times, but very well put together overall.

maesk 2015-08-31 20:37

Great idea, and nice shader as well.

lemer 2015-09-03 18:10

VEry good visuals. Good work!

wooltech 2015-09-04 01:49

Couldn't hear the audio others mention in Firefox/WebPlayer.

Love the look of the game, although there was one level with a low-down camera where a couple of purple things seemed to run on thin air rather than a platform.

I fed them all to each other because, well, who am I to stand in the way of nature?

realize2d 2015-09-13 00:32

really cool! the graphics were peculiar but a good fit.
