This was really cool man. You've nailed the presentation. Made me feel like an absolute monster through and through. Love the simple nuances to the presentation as well like how everyone is much shorter than you, the wobble in the camera and the arms, the look of fear in the characters. The bullets from the police were a little hard to see though. Having to be strategic and throw heads at them was cool though and kept it from being mindless. Not a fan of some of the doors basically being camouflaged with the walls though. Caused a few annoying deaths. Regardless, a really fun entry overall. I love power fantasies and this was a good one

Why doesn't this game have more ratings? It's creepy SciFi °-° I like it. :hearts:

There's no way that was 300 people. Also yeah, the wobbling arms really added to the manic feel of the game.

Really hope this game starts getting a little more traction. Everything about it is so polished and satisfying, and its got a bunch of content for a game made in 72 hours. Keep punching!

I'm getting "virus detected" when I try download the zip. Any idea what could cause this?

e-e-wick 2021-10-06 12:35

@peterfiftyfour Its 100% just a false positive, but I'm looking into why this is happening.

Nice game and cool idea! it's very fun to play and the art style its really good. Keep doing it!

I had an alarm on my antivirus and I deactivated it in order to play and rate your project. I like it especially the main aesthetic. Neat and very polished. The controls work well as expected. You did a solid entry - maybe a little bit too gore for me, but I had fun playing. It's true - you deserve more ratings. Well done ++

Perfection. It reflects my mood perfectly. I love everything about it. Artstyle, theme, idea, execution.

The one thing that seems to be pretty odd to me is that when you decide to grab somebody's head and throw it at somebody else the bloodlust seems to be uneffected by that. From my perspective this is pretty brutal, so it should be counted as the valid "bloodlusty" action.

Insane amount of polish and presentation. This might be the best game I've played in 49 so far, amazing job ! I would reduce the camera sway by a smidge, but a lot of the improvements would be to add more content post gamejam. You guys should be really proud of this <3

awesome job on the presentation!

The game was really fun!

rufson 2021-10-07 02:37

Very brutal and I like it! Done all levels and I am a fan of the shaky camera too, very nice art and well balanced.

Not a Windows user, I'll have to check back if you make a web or Mac build.

Just wanted to say that I do like the concept and the art style.

Reading through the controls it seems like it'd be difficult for me to play anyway, on a laptop with a trackpad. I personally try to make games that CAN use things like right-click, but have alternatives for laptop players.

What a BLAST! I love the fact that you let the popo shoot each other if you line them up. Fantastic jam game, only issue I had is the hitboxes for picking up heads and eating bodies seemed quite small, so I had to run over them several times to pick them up. Otherwise really well done!

Realy good game. I liked it :)

morcado 2021-10-08 03:49

the sounds were realistic.. kinda... and graphics fre ndly nice job, i accidentally press R haha

iori-branford 2021-10-08 07:15

Perfection. Head throwing adds a nice skill element and camera/VFX/sounds really sell the bloodthirsty monster experience.

really REALLY good game, one of my favourites this jam 100%, but their are some issues with the download process that possibly explains the low amount of ratings. Here are my suggestions:

REMOVE THE DONATION OPTION

For game jams it is typically a good idea to not ask for donations when downloading. It's a bit out of pocket in a game jam setting and can confuse users into thinking the game costs money. I'd recommend you change this setting on itch.io.

VIRUS ISSUE

I got a virus detection during the download and had to disable my firewall the entire time I played otherwise the game would get deleted by windows defender. I was super interested in this game and decided to disable it, any other game and I would have given up playing before I even downloaded it. **SOLVE THIS ASAP!!!**

NO AUDIO ISSUE

Unless I missed it I could not find any audio volume settings, not a massive issue but I'd recommend you add it.

I apologize if the review sounds harsh but this is honestly one of the best games I've played this jam and just want to help you to get the amount of ratings you deserve. Keep it up! :smile:

artonix 2021-10-08 15:09

@cakts donation option is turned on just by default. If you are not newbee on itch, it's easy to skip this moment.

Game is really awesome! I walked through on one breath and got a lot of fun. Audio and camera have great solutions

e-e-wick 2021-10-08 20:29

As of today I'm fairly certain I have removed whatever caused this troubling virus message. So hopefully, we shouldn't be seeing anymore of that, it was really starting to worry me but it ended up just being nothing to worry about like I expected.

Incredible entry, very immersive game ! It took me a while to understand that you need to "eat" the dead bodies to reset the bloodlust. But once you get all the tiny gameplay details the game is getting super fun and addictive. Really good job, I'm impressed !

mr-developer 2021-10-09 14:36

damn how rad the screen effects are, they work pretty well it making somewhat realistic and immersive robot view! the game felt really fun, indeed sucking blood and throwing heads around feels very powerful. was a bit too tricky tho but still manageable, great job Wick as always :D

gord10ahmet 2021-10-09 19:09

Great game! 5/5

I couldn't pass the lined cops at the end of the game, though. Was that a design decision?

paulhocker 2021-10-19 02:12

damn! great game. love the fast pace and the screen effects. brilliant!
