The game is terribly broken, the menu doesn't work, and the loop is super annoying.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD33 → Monsters In The Dark (Bugged)

I had to rush it and i could`int fix the bugs because of something important happened.
It's pretty broken ngl...
The game will work if you turn it off of full screen mode so that you can click the menu options.
In the game you run around killing the red blocks.
Things that could improve this:
1. I didn't like how I couldn't just use WASD or the arrow keys, but I had to use both to move the character. This felt unneeded.
2. Better graphics and an explanation for what the red blocks were (I assume people?) would help improve the game.
3. I wasn't sure what the objective was. I saw the timer running down, but I wasn't sure if the blocks hurt me or I was supposed to run into them.
Very difficult to control, which kind of puts a damper on doing anything else.
why WS and left right arrow and the looping yo
Game works fine... Music is a bit annoying :D
score 25^^
I was able to run the entry. I had to click some where along the side in order to get it to work. Anyway, I thought it was a pretty decent game. Obviously this is your first jam, but you know what most people can't do even that. Excellent work, and I hope to see more games from you in the future. 3/5
thanks
Took me a few seconds to figure out the controls, a bit weird don't you think?
Also this is just me, but the menu buttons are blank for me, probably you used a font that I don't have so consider including that in the download.
You've got the basics of a game at least. Good job putting something out on your first try.
Too simple, I think. And how to move left and right?
I don't think tank controls work well for this. Would have been more intuitive to just use arrow keys. I will say that the discordant music and constant yelling and being trapped in a room with no windows or doors does a good job of setting the mood.
Music(?) ruined the mood.
The game felt too easy to me.
This game had a lot of bugs. Red ones. That I squished. I liked the sound effects but the music was kind of crazy
that was the first time i have ever made music on my computer.
I think that you should change controls scheme.
Now it isn't very intuitive
please take a look at any game you like and consider everything it does well then try and implement this into your game one by one. I think you will learn allot :)
Couldn't start the game.
Cool game! i think you need to run it on windowed or it wont work properly.
23 kills. Song managed to get my blood pressure up! I can appreciate the effort put into this, bravo!
A lot of bugs in the game making it difficult to give a fair rating. Concept was OK but needed better graphics, sound etc.
Well done for your first attempt though. Hope you come back for LD34
The control setup was a bit weird, and the music loop was reeeally short which made it a bit annoying. Not sure what the objective was, and the menu didn't show any text?
I had some issues till I was able to run it, but after it worked I think it is a good game. After all my entry is a little bugged too.
Worked fine for me in full screen on fantastic mode. The "throttle and turning" movement was unexpected from a 4-direction game, but it wasn't confusing once I understood it. It was somewhat amusing that the red rectangles screamed. :) The loop and sound effects were kinda repetitive though. Good first LD, it has all the components of a game which I can't always say about my entries! You'll only get better the next time!
Not bad. Not bad at all. You did good for your first entry. You monster model was good. Maybe you could have crated the same kind of model for the humans (i assume) but probably smaller or different color. But nonetheless.... congrats on submitting your entry.
