Lovely looking game! The environment is cool. Couldn't work out what to do once I transformed though.

m1chae7 2015-08-24 21:58

run around and get dead by cops? playable, but not much of a game :/

stridewide 2015-08-24 21:59

I am not entirely sure of what I am supposed to be doing in this game, but I enjoyed plodding around all the same. A large amount of assets in this game, and they all look pretty good.

kingpirux 2015-08-24 22:01

you did the graphics? The controls are too anoying, just to start the camera should be in the far top view, there is no use to be close, also it will be good to have some power not to kill but to hide, tackle, something to do more than just running around

helloworldstudios 2015-08-24 22:01

I got a toy story feel from this game for some reason. Scared the hell out of me when I got to full rage though !

komradus 2015-08-24 22:02

Really cool setting. And solid design on the monster. The sounds were somewhat imbalanced though, soft music and loud effects.

cosinep 2015-08-24 22:03

Hmmm interesting setting what was that? Also when I ate a lot of chips did I level up or win? After I (leveled up?) I could neither die nor level up again. Very cool overall and somewhat creepy in an odd way.

deadpan-gamez 2015-08-24 22:04

Really cool environment and models, great job!

evandaley 2015-08-24 22:04

Wasn't sure what to do

parahunter 2015-08-24 22:10

I could not see most of the game in the Kongregate iFrame so it was difficult to play.

flokitall 2015-08-24 22:11

The sound effect when at full rage and pressing Space is scary, had to turn down the speakers. If that was on purpose, well done :)

I wasn't too sure what to do, besides using the T button to change and pick up things to increase my rage. I did lose the game once after being spotted by the guards, but I'm not sure what's the objective, if there is one.

As other people have mentioned, the camera has pretty big issues. Fixing it somewhere above the level and disabling the physics interactions for it would have made the experience much smoother.

depp 2015-08-24 22:13

There's a problem with the web page: it's contained in a frame which is too small, giving me scroll bars. "Cinematic mode" button doesn't work without an account. The graphics are nice. The camera is terrible, I can't see what I want to see. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do or how my actions affect the world.

pampattitude 2015-08-24 22:17

I feel so bad it is not really playable (I fell down the platform and couldn't do anything :( ) because your ambiance and character are so great.

lonelyvertex 2015-08-24 22:22

The web player is annoying without the ability of fullscreen mode, because while I am moving mouse around to move the camera i move it outside the player and I can"t click.

mantis 2015-08-24 22:37

Pretty game :)

derugin-s 2015-08-24 23:37

fix web version

druhinm 2015-08-25 07:23

That was quite an interesting setting

paulsinnett 2015-08-25 07:32

Sorry I couldn't play. I get half the screen and then "plug in failure" on the web version. Playing in Safari on a Mac.

caspila 2015-08-25 07:39

Game looks really really good, too bad it doesn't play as good :( Couldn't really understand the camera control and it the game that looks really pretty from up above didn't look when zoomed. Good job for a game jam though!

davidcmcdonald 2015-08-25 07:43

great concept and great audio and graphics. without reading the description it was hard to know the objective within the game.

grhyll 2015-08-25 08:35

Nice commercial link when clicking on the web version...
Very cute, too bad I fall of the map chasing some garbage floating in the void :(

acerio 2015-08-25 10:19

I like the perspective of the game. Great job :D

lane 2015-08-25 11:30

Couldn't figure out what to do, I noticed chips everywhere and figured that was an objective but the camera clipping, surreal environment and killer cops made it feel rather drab.

los-pixelados 2015-08-25 12:10

That scream ... oh man ...
Nice mood you have created here :)
Probably some sounds for the transformation along with the smoke would have been great.

Cheers,
Morco (Los Pixelados team)


P.S.
why did you remove the mood category ?

superpatch 2015-08-25 12:12

Objective isn't clear, some items are outside map (and you'll fall down if you try to get them), assets are good and music is perfect for the mood.

warxen 2015-08-25 12:42

Practically a level full of assets, but no real gameplay loop to be found. I didn't like how the camera and controls worked. I also fell out of the level after a minute of roaming around.

mekuri 2015-08-25 13:18

The web version failed to capture my mouse, which was an issue as use two monitors.
L loved the graphics. I was a bit confused about the gameplay, but I managed to scare some guards, which was nice.

daydreamcorgigames 2015-08-25 13:22

Props to the modellers and animators, the models look well done!

I would prefer eating the security guards than just scaring them once you got bigger. Why do you made your monster have the ability to eat but not eat the security guard after, right?

nowandstudios 2015-08-25 13:30

I like concept to evolve. Graphics are nice guys!

Windows version don't have escape menu

peterthehe 2015-08-25 14:23

I must commend you on the game's environment - the sheer number of models and textures you have used is unreal.

digitaldude555 2015-08-25 14:24

Played the web version. It was tough to figure out what to do and when you did there was no real gameplay. Graphics were decent but I think the scaling of the objects was a bit odd. Audio was good loop was a bit short, mood was very good.

coruja 2015-08-25 14:40

The controls are a little annoying.

mzmiric5 2015-08-25 14:54

Interesting level design, and concept. I like the idea of transforming, but it isn't really clear what to do once you do. Once I figured it out, the sound effects were a bit too loud, and unexpected. There are some problems with the camera clipping when near a wall and the mouse not being captured, so clicking a mouse button often resulted in game losing focus.

hive-interactive 2015-08-25 15:05

I was confused, but I really enjoyed the concept and the art style. Well done.

jrhee 2015-08-25 15:08

Had fun running around, wasn't sure what to do after I transformed though!

jordinuco 2015-08-25 15:13

Great room and great timing, but I found the controls a little hard at the beginning, particularly the zoom of the camera, but finally I solved it

buffalophil 2015-08-25 15:16

The webplayer opened up an ad/spam with the game; otherwise, nice job

gigaraptor 2015-08-25 16:12

beautiful game, although it would be nice if the controls were explain a little better.

madrex 2015-08-25 17:03

Pretty awesome you created such a game in such a short period of time. And it's really fun.

Too bad there's no music. It would've made it better.

derugin-s 2015-08-25 17:40

The game has music

glerikud 2015-08-25 18:02

It looks great, and plays pretty well.
The camera gets stuck too often, and that f-ing scream is too loud! It's unique and fun though.

kakureta 2015-08-25 18:26

The game doesn't seem to have a goal or purpose, but I enjoyed running around in a cool environment.

antonybaasan 2015-08-25 18:38

Whoo. Creepy. Like the art

9-ar7k 2015-08-25 18:49

great mood and graphics. didn't really figure out how to frighten the guards tho.

a_k_ 2015-08-25 18:53

Didn't get how to scare the guards thou. overall solid impression.

nibblebitsstudio 2015-08-25 19:50

Nice concept, lovely looking game. But I'm not sure what I have to do after take the full rage.

thinkfirst 2015-08-25 20:22

For some reason the alert and Rage bar didnt show for me on the WEB version. Really liked the Environment but didnt see a real objective probably due to the bug.

peterkirk 2015-08-25 20:55

I wasn’t sure what to do then I fell through the map.
I like the music and the lighting + visuals look great.

newan 2015-08-25 21:03

Very nice job, i love the ambiance.

folex70 2015-08-25 21:14

very cool

flygamer101 2015-08-25 23:02

Great game :D Graphics are awesome.

derugin-s 2015-08-25 23:30

UPD : The camera and other bugs is repaired

derugin-s 2015-08-25 23:32

Thanks for your responses

mikhail 2015-08-26 00:13

Good game

spotlightor 2015-08-26 01:42

Thank you for your game!Really like the art!Good job!

steboots 2015-08-26 01:42

My computer is a little too slow to enjoy the scaring parts, but the graphics were dead on, and concept was nice! Enjoyed what I could play :D

mventurelli 2015-08-26 02:16

You can fall off the game world :O

vividhelix 2015-08-26 02:34

I lol'd at this! I never knew eating chips makes you rage!

synchingfeeling 2015-08-26 02:56

Graphics looked really polished, wasn't totally sure how to scare people in phase 2. Good effort.

dat_not_my_game 2015-08-26 03:09

Nice concept and style, but you need to work with optimization (too low fps on my medium device).

foxboard 2015-08-26 03:23

really nice! and fun! fell out of world...

spotco 2015-08-26 04:55

Very nice graphics and attention to detail. Not sure what the overall goal of the game is, but I enjoyed scaring the guards

ruka 2015-08-26 05:15

I fall from ground and can't back into game. This game seems still not complete. But i like the art though.

pantoufle 2015-08-26 09:00

I think more explanations would be useful. I didn't understand what to do in my second form. I kept wandering around...
I would like to zoom/unzoom with the camera, and to look a little further as well. But third person cameras are difficult to implement. Maybe the game would be great as well with a first person camera?
Otherwise the art and music are good!
Overall I think there's something. A little more work and polish could make a nice game. Great job!

sinclairstrange 2015-08-26 10:45

Looks lovely, took a while to figure out what to do though but none of the less it was a cool game. (Did managed to fall off the edge though!) Great stuff!

chrisfagan 2015-08-26 12:33

Really nice environment! Wasn't much going on though and I kept thinking I should be able to run under tables

applejam 2015-08-26 13:18

Very nice 3d graphics. And very nice music too. I liked playing this game, but I didn't understand how to end it. And screams of guards really scared me.

lazypenguin 2015-08-26 16:58

Tried playing the web version on Firefox on my Mac and it froze up real good. Could be my computer or that I was streaming at the time.

jharler 2015-08-26 17:25

Stunning visuals. The controls were decent, although I think placing the camera slightly closer to the monster to give you a better view of what's directly in front of you would be nice. Overall, very well done.

artsuom 2015-08-26 17:25

I liked the setting and mechanic for changing form, the table-turning idea, suited the theme well. No clear ending though, which was not so cool. That kind of made the second form feel less useful.

Dizzly 2015-08-26 17:31

Nice models, nice settings. I did not undestood how to win though.

firebrushstudios 2015-08-26 19:32

l

firebrushstudios 2015-08-26 19:33

Sorry about the l post, i meant to say looks good, i however managed to run out of the world through an open wall

kmiitz 2015-08-26 21:20

Cool idea and graphics. Too bad for the lack of structure in the gameplay, I didn't know what to do after I leveled up.

kuchalu 2015-08-26 22:42

Cool game, camera got stick behind walls quite a bit though. But overall nice look and feel!

kgabis 2015-08-26 23:32

Gameplay is not very obvious, I ended up falling from the map...

fermenter 2015-08-27 04:17

Looks really good, but idk what I was meant to be doing. Ran around and away from the cops, made Lays chip bags disappear, um!

slapunas 2015-08-27 12:17

Didn't really understand what I was meant to do apart from roaring at random people. Needed some sort of objective :D Nice graphics, music and setting though.

aberdeenphoenix 2015-08-27 13:34

I love the look of this game! It is fun to just walk around. The aesthetic is quite nice, though the camera is occasionally frustrating. If there's a win state, a lose state, or a way to actually scare the guards, I couldn't find it.

heissayen 2015-08-27 17:18

Controls were too annoying, wasn't able to do much...
I also disliked getting sent to an ad site through the web link.

linus123xbb 2015-08-27 17:19

Funny game, I liked both the art and the audio on this one. Good work!

patomkin 2015-08-27 17:54

Camera is too restrictive for my taste :(

nikteddy92 2015-08-27 23:25

Quite plain and empty..
Nice graphic btw and idea, but a little too slow and boring..

derugin-s 2015-08-28 14:00

For all you guys who liked the graphics here's an online 3d monster model (left mouse click to orbit, middle button scroll to zoom):

https://sketchfab.com/models/0768ce31cf3e45fbb4d605f1220b9ebc

And thank you all for the appreciation!
We sure have some bugs but we hope to fix it over time. Unfortunately we were limited it time to make all the ideas work, sorry. Consider it as an alpha version for a bigger project)))

bradur 2015-08-28 16:47

A little confusing, but nice looking graphics!

aaronsnoswell 2015-08-29 02:38

Great work guys. I love your idea but I also couldn't figure out what to do once I transformed. Did you really make all the assets in the 48hrs? That's awesome.

pomb 2015-08-29 09:12

weird as hell but I laughed so hard when you transform!

noom 2015-08-30 00:30

I herded a bunch of guards into one spot and the scream blew my ears off.
10/WHAT!?! would go deaf again.

psydack 2015-08-30 06:54

Can't play on web > Account suspended

darkflint 2015-08-30 12:48

Played the windows version because the web-version isn´t avaible anymore.
Game does look nice (only a tad to dark), but camera is hard to control. I screamed a lot after transformation, but at one place i had 10-20 guards at once, who didnt leave their place? Screeming doesnt help either.

mossy-frog 2015-08-30 19:33

I quite liked the game, the graphics were cool.

Tough the camera was a little to high and I didn't see the need to collect the trash as I could transform straight away.

kevinworkman 2015-08-30 23:31

Your web link says that your account has been suspended. :(

alexset 2015-08-31 03:00

Very good graphics! Would have liked to be able to see monsters front.

simouth 2015-08-31 14:01

perecil 2015-09-01 07:42

The game mechanics aren't very obvious, I had to play 3 games to get the graps of them. Otherwise, pretty nice graphics and mood.

digiman572 2015-09-01 15:18

Really cool game! Loved the character models! :D

big-cow 2015-09-01 22:02

Wow amazing work on the graphics. And good music change when in trouble. Atmospheric music and lighting overall mood is great.

block97 2015-09-04 17:16

Easiest lays farm of my life.

alexfili 2015-09-05 10:21

While the game is far from finished, it does have some nice features to it. The animation isn't a full cycle so it does jump from one keyframe to the start of the animation which isn't smooth. The lightning effects are decent enough and with some effort this could be great. Didn't notice any of the garbage or other characters.

paffe 2015-09-06 16:33

Gj on the game.

janiq 2015-09-06 19:40

The graphics is very nice but I quite don't get what to do in this game. I ate the chips and run from cops than I transformed and run around scaring the cops.

jofra 2015-09-07 15:25

The game could have some more objectives instead of just scarting the guards because that can be a little bit repetitive :s (but this is LD! all the games could have more to it)

The graphics and the mood are very well done! i and loved the second monster form and his walking cycle!
Gj :)

radmars 2015-09-07 16:36

mouse kept poping out of window, maybe locking it to the screen would help. gfx looked nice

superfreak 2015-09-08 17:33

Love the graphics, got super confused quickly but laughed at the transformation and forgot why I was confused. Great job. Enjoyable little game!

druid 2015-09-09 21:52

Well.. Graphics are nice. Models are pretty and fitting! Controls were little floaty and gameplay curve unbalanced. But still, i really enjoyed this game!

egor-idiot 2015-09-10 13:39

Crazy game %)

mechanicmoon 2015-09-10 16:54

The game has a good atmosphere. It is another revision of pacman mechanics, but with a lot of care. Nice entry :-)

deepnight 2015-09-11 21:38

The 3rd person cam is a bit too low, and it's facing too much to the ground, making it very complicated to avoid guards. You just cannot see them approach.

crucknuk 2015-09-13 12:01

The graphics were nice, i liked the ambiance, the stealth part of the game too :)
The camera was a bit off and also i felt that the monster was really rigid sometime. Anyway well done! :)

liannethy 2015-09-14 09:04

Bit confusing, stylistically cool though, good work :)

wademcgillis 2015-09-15 00:41

After I transformed I didn't know what to do, but the game was pretty.
