I don't know if it's just me, but I can't eat anyone :(

Norton seems to take great interest in this, employing "SONAR." Maybe it shares a name in common with a virus, or something? I abstained from voting.

@TerraCottaFrog Norton doesn't like any downloadable games that aren't from Steam.

Even after reading Help, I don't understand how eating works. First, I thought pressing Z would be enough, but even while holding Z, some people get by.

I can't seem to accurately chomp kiddies. Overall not really innovative. At least you got the theme 100% correct!

Very difficult to get the timing down but I eventually got it. Had some fun playing, also I liked the graphics, they were pretty creepy!

Your health should either be integers or at least displayed to the user as an integer (or an image if you want to get fancy). Was the amount of health dropped for each sick human random?

Loaded fine as well as played fine. Great idea and game.

I haven't manage to eat a single person. Don't put this sentence outside its context. Great mood, creepy monster but not so dangerous as he can even grab a kid...

Nice game! But it would be better if you could move while eating.

Very hard to get the timing right, maybe a little more leeway on the start would have been helpful. The light falloff also was a bit distracting since it also affected the GUI, took me a few attempts to notice the timer ticking down.
Suggestion: Next time please don't map the action to Z, on my German keyboard Y and Z are switched. Q or E would have worked jsut fine. or space. or Ctrl. Or Shift ;)

Hi, its me from the uheartbeast stream. I saw you played my game so I decided to play yours. I like the game, great mood, but the timing was very hard to get right. Also, try putting it in a zip or something. Not everyone as a program to open .rar and I had to switch computers. Great game though! Graphics were creepy. :)

You should state that on mouth close = eating, not on mouth open. took me a while to figure that out, as it doesnt really have any room for error. Other than that, its a solid concept, but i think implementing a necessity for movement would add some interest into the game (i.e. chasing the kids instead of them running into you).

really nice game .i liked the monster :P

I like the controls! I allowed me to eat breakfast while playing :) Good monster graphic. I scored 152!

I have kind of no idea of what I'm doing. I died for some reason. Art is nice

5 out of 5; I can only say this about the game: om nom nom nom

hotboxgames 2015-09-06 22:18

Good Effort!

Challenging game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/t2uXuiSquSk
