Music Demon ROCKS - literally :D. Congratulation to the developers for creating such a wonderful game. Well done!

save-sloth-studios 2022-10-04 00:29

Very well-thought out concept! It's not just "eat things to to stay alive" but a lot of other interesting twists which make it a much more uniqze game!

2022-10-04 01:27

Really well implemented puzzle design

thomas-yanuziello 2022-10-04 01:30

Neat that each of the sizes has different capabilities.

eoshadows 2022-10-04 01:32

Nice game! I couldn't figure out how to progress after the first checkpoint, but the graphics and concepts of the game are really nice.

not-the-loading-screen 2022-10-04 01:48

Pretty solid concept and execution

megafuze 2022-10-04 01:59

Music Demon should run a mukbang channel, he is so cool I wanna meet Music Demon so much. if Music Demon came to my house to eat my fridge, I wouldn't be mad, I would be honored to feed Music Demon!

Jokes aside, I had fun playing this game, I really appreciate that there is a reset buttons well as a famine button. Glad to hear Music Demon made it to the concert safe and sound even if it meant having to eat others.

Very fun, but I couldn't make it past the first checkpoint.

seansmeedcomposer 2022-10-04 15:25

(if you get stuck at the first checkpoint, try becoming small and double jumping across the screen) :)

igor-morgun 2022-10-04 17:06

Very good concept,i like it,made more games bro

excy 2022-10-04 17:17

Such a hilarious use of the theme, very innovative and the game plays great as well, nice job. \m/

phoenixofforce 2022-10-04 22:31

Very nice music. Well done :)

loiclegrosfrere 2022-10-04 22:49

Music is really cool and really well fited with the game ! Mechanics are simple but well used (and you did a good level design => you exploit at maximum, without the sensation of repetition) I pretty liked the animation (the last one "cinematic" is pretty clean !)

i-wrote-it-myself 2022-10-05 05:01

Great music, interesting gameplay! Well done!

owca 2022-10-05 08:06

Wow! Just awesome. Very interesting mechanics. Superb music and cool, clean art style. I really enjoyed it!

chromaphase 2022-10-05 11:54

Interesting game mechanic, animation is funny, control a bit sloppy tho ! Keep going ;) (good choice of music btw !)

galaxybat 2022-10-05 11:54

Puzzles with the size are interesting and the music is great 🤘

seansmeedcomposer 2022-10-05 15:59

@phoenixofforce @loiclegrosfrere @i-wrote-it-myself @owca @chromaphase @galaxybat Thank you all for your positive comments about the music! it means a lot to me. thank you for playing our game!

wheffle 2022-10-05 18:10

Even after eating half the audience, they still love me. Fun mechanics and fun puzzles! The theme and style of the game was top notch, the music was great and got me pumped. It was short, but it was executed nearly flawlessly-- didn't get frustrated or find any weird quirks. Awesome!

spike-studio 2022-10-06 01:20

The art style was super cool, and it was an interesting take on the theme. Seemed like an odd festival to go to though...

moasip 2022-10-06 01:28

The music is fantastic and fits very well with the theme. The graphics were also great. I had a lot of fun playing it.

leorid 2022-10-06 01:35

@spike-studio Metal, Classic and Techno on the same festival is indeed quite odd, I agree. :P

mooptychunk 2022-10-06 01:55

Wow, this was super fleshed out. And the mechanic is interesting and well explored. Totally worth playing, I liked it a lot!

brunozisman 2022-10-06 04:22

What an awesome game! Very creative and enjoyable, even if i also didn't get past the first checkpoint for a long time. Great job!

etrealjunior 2022-10-06 12:54

Congratulations, we have a very fun game here, the theme was very cool, and this flat style with a half acid humor, made an excellent combination, I will come up for future upgrades to work on more animations I felt the character a little stuck, but nothing that hindered the game, Congratulations to the whole team, a big hug.

kobato-games 2022-10-06 22:33

Cool game. I liked the variety of music. Took me a bit to figure out I could double jump and move crates when I had consumed enough people, though I was able to piece it together.

xparker 2022-10-07 06:31

Short version: **Brutal** :laughing:

Long Version: Awesome idea with the game mechanics, the level design and the checkpoints. Took me a while to figure out, but loved the experience, especially the music :heart:

shreemp 2022-10-07 08:12

love the idea of the different music versions and the grand version at the end, sorry i ate my fans to get to my stage lmao. i kept thinking i had to jump to the higher platform instead of the further one across at that one point but other than that its actually really fun :heart:

sephowepho 2022-10-07 19:43

That was really well done! I didn't immediately realize I could double jump, but after figuring it out I had a ton of fun finding how to utilize it! I think the art looked really neat, but the music stole my attention with it's well-composed-ed-ness... Or whatever you would call it... The puzzles were simple, but well designed, and made me use my brain to proceed!

Real good entry, keep it up! :smile:

gno-evenimente 2022-10-08 05:08

Very cool concept. Really enjoyed the puzzles, and the eating animation is hilarious. Jumping and double jumping feels a bit loose to me, maybe it's a momentum thing that can use refinement, but overall an awesome idea!

eeperdeheap 2022-10-08 09:07

Love this music! Really nicely done the 3 different sizes of your demon with the different abilities. Loved the epic ending as well! Badass demon. :imp:

onury 2022-10-08 13:13

Very good game, art style, musics, puzzles. I really like it 5/5

boclow 2022-10-08 13:59

Unique way to do this type of game. I liked a lot the later parts where it felt more puzzle like :D Chomping sound was pleasant to hear and art was nice and clear! :D Puzzling was fun to execute!

The puzzle where you go long way up and then have to push a box was bit irritating, as when I first got to the box, I basically doomed myself by eating a man at the wrong time. I think this game would benefit for not being restricted by time, as you actually had a button to press to shrink back to small.

Overall very solid game! Liked it :D

midna 2022-10-08 14:00

Very fun game. Music really made the game look and sound cool and fit well with the concept. Congrats!

witchpixels 2022-10-08 18:08

Love the music! I liked the concept, it was an interesting take on the theme.

wouter52 2022-10-08 18:31

Haha wow this is so cool! I got stuck once with the box at the start. When trying to jump over as fat satan the box jumped to the left and was snuck to the wall after that. So I could not bring it to the right side. Luckaly you programmed a reset button :smile:

The controls are very well explaned in-game. I like that. Also the music: love it! Very well done. The artstyle is very cool too. Did not see this style in a Ludum Dare game yet.

leekanarchism 2022-10-08 18:44

I really got into playing this! I enjoyed the level design and puzzles -- took me a little while to figure out some of the double-jump tricks but was satisfying when I got them. I really liked the little in-game tutorial at the start too, a very nice touch.

Having the audio change between modes was really cool too. Nice work :)

actuallythemoon 2022-10-08 19:01

Really clever puzzle concept! Only issue i see is that it feels just slightly off theme, but the game itself is pretty cool!

leorid 2022-10-08 21:04

@actuallythemoon Every 10 seconds a human in your belly is digested. ^^

amarokczukay 2022-10-09 10:36

i loved the concept! the puzzles were kinda intuitive, and the music wraps another polished layer on top of nice concept and graphic!

simplepotential 2022-10-09 10:58

Once I figured out what I was doing this was rather enjoyable! Nice entry

gossian 2022-10-09 20:03

Music was great but I didn't really notice the changes all that much. Conceptually I actually think what you've got going on with the eating & weight/ability changes are the real treat of this game and I think focusing on and expanding that mechanic would make this a really compelling and challenging game.

trusty 2022-10-11 16:46

Great music, like the style. Thanks for the game.

xsangyhix 2022-10-11 20:49

Very nice game. The sound is awesome. The mechanic is simple and you're squeezing as much as possible out of it. In terms of improvements (I will be picking on small things because the game is really good for a gamejam): animation fluidity could be improved. The levels were minimalistic, some decorations would make it feel more alive.

kobylarz 2022-10-13 15:25

This was ingenious design, and being an audio person I'm totally grabbed by the way it handles the music! Well done! Fun interactions and I feel like you somehow have already had rounds and rounds of testing because the gameplay felt polished and perfectly difficult. One thing I would have liked was maybe more over the top music, like screaming guitar parts and harder hitting drums if that makes sense. Definitely not taking away any points for that though, and the feedback is meant as a more "A+ job on the music, maybe here's one little thing to take it even further". Awesome job by this team and looking forward to more!

seansmeedcomposer 2022-10-13 17:15

@kobylarz Thanks so much! I totally agree. if we keep going with this game I'd love to spend more time making the music even more intense haha like little extreme guitar solo sounds when you eat a rocker or like 808 bass drops and stuff. really appreciate your feedback, and thanks for playing!

rdawg7 2022-10-14 23:05

Man this was awesome! So much fun – loved the concept here and great play with the music – love the implementation. I got stuck at the green flag/checkpoint? I think I was maybe meant to become small again but I'll have another few shots I think haha. Liked the gradual approach to more gameplay mechanics with the shrink option coming in later etc. Yeah I think other people have covered it but maybe like a couple more interactive things like moving the box and/or longer lasting food maybe for example. Just ideas but I'm sure if I play more you might have something along those lines. The artwork is really great too – nice colours :)

johnnysix 2022-10-19 20:56

Great music, and a fun concept - for the conundrum how to animate eating and walking, since it's unity, I'd make the head a different object completely, and just parent to head bone, then he can do walk/run animation and eat at same time.

The 'R' to reset made me quit after the 100th time of reseting instead of eating people. I'd be cooler if random people just re-appeared / fell in or something, rather than a hard reset.

itooh 2022-10-19 21:11

Those are really great visuals! The characters and environment are beautiful, and even the UI and overall presentation are clean. Same thing goes for the music, it's cool to have different styles mixed in such a way. I kinda wish it had more influence on game mechanics or visuals, but it's still a cool touch. I must also mention the SFX for the jump, which I find kinda funny for some reason. ^^ The game itself is simple, but satisfying enough. it provides just the right amount of puzzle to feel nice. And the conclusion is really well executed! Kudos for this cool entry.
