LD33 — You are the Monster

Heroes always win! by cptalbertwesker 2015-08-23T20:55:00

Just get a plain black screen. No game :(

Project MONSTER by 0x0961h 2015-08-24T20:08:00

Epic. Enough said

Super Sea Serpent Simulator by CosmicAdventureSquad 2015-08-24T12:20:00

Really like the graphic style

VINDICTAE by Pickens Inc. 2015-08-25T15:40:00

"colour blind moose with a crayon drunkenly taped to its antlers" should be the next LD theme :)

A Series Of Totally Legit Events by Slashee the Cow 2015-08-24T10:34:00

Pretty epic, goes to show text can be fun, and can play it at work and people will just see text and think it's work related ;)

Crab Boss by unprompted 2015-08-25T10:38:00

actually really fun. laser eye crab!

Grave by uheartbeast 2015-08-25T19:54:00

great game, and will vote very highly, but wouldn't go as far as others saying it's the best(there's some epic entries so even the tiniest things can knock it off top spot) i got bored after a while, same old kill raven, kill knight, kill giant..wanted more content(and from all the surprised comment about amount of work in GameMaker, expected more content too) don't get me wrong it was a real blast until it got repetitive too quickly. Sounds like i'm being negative now - not the intention - it's actually really good, just pointing out why it's not my winner.

You are the monster by Dasginger 2015-08-27T15:24:00

Not very innovative, Tower defense and reverse ones have been done to death in the last couple of years, across all platforms and budgets. But aside from that it does pretty well on all other points.
And also in response to other XNA comments, XNA is actually coming back slightly now, since MS started recommending the community built continuation - time will tell how well it will do though, with a lot of people already shifted to alternatives. But getting a bit off-topic from the game now :)

Monsters Under The Bed by Interface 2015-08-27T15:26:00

A few people done this idea this jam, but i think this is the one i enjoyed the most

You are the Monster by funkysquid 2015-08-25T10:32:00

Nice slime trails and animations and concept. But the controls can be annoying, it took me 10x longer to lien up to a doorway to get back, than it did to complete the entire rest of the ridiculously easy game. But definitely feel like it could be amazing if you jsut had had a little more time.

The Devil's Daughter by SinclairStrange 2015-08-25T19:15:00

there's a lot of great games, but not many that are great AND look complete, hardly surprising with only 1 weekend, but you seemed to have pulled it off. The voice acting in particular was epic. Love the profanity laser xD.
Note to those who wished for a dedicated jump key, i much prefer it this way, when your other hand is busy with aiming, having both keys about touching is much more practical for wall jumping, i find.

Monster Sheep by Caspila 2015-08-25T08:59:00

Extremely polished finish

The Most Boring Game Ever by Romixal 2015-08-25T18:22:00

Really fun, but once you realise you can't die, you tend to stop caring and just sit at the top shooting down. Like the upgrades, the style, the humour, the absurd sounds and the way the boss killed the puny humans also. But needs a lose condition. Still great fun though

Tales of the Underworld: Rebellion of the Souls by ladybenko 2015-08-24T19:56:00

yay fellow platformer submission. really good one too, the whole feel is really good, everything fits perfectly.
But very easy, except those pesky level 3 coins that people mentioned, that seem impossible unless there's something hidden. Good job

Nipper Nosher by AlgorithmicsAnonymous 2015-08-24T09:21:00

Yes sadly we we're very short on time, only free for a limited amount of the jam. So some things didn't make it, including those 2 items, and more levels. But overall we were happy to get this much into our first Jam. Thx. for the feedback.

Nipper Nosher by AlgorithmicsAnonymous 2015-08-24T09:35:00

Yes that was very much the intention, difficult(not quite as bad once you get a feel for it's quirks) but very possible :)
When those babies cry out it in a tight spot it can really mess you up.

Nipper Nosher by AlgorithmicsAnonymous 2015-08-24T13:15:00

Yea was aware of the bug, but not major, and ran out of time to fix it lol.
The bonus drop clears aggro from all enemies, which sounds awesome but is actually very situational, since if you are still in sight line/range they will immediately regain aggro. But there are moments it can be helpful, just need to get inventive with timing of collections.

Nipper Nosher by AlgorithmicsAnonymous 2015-08-24T18:21:00

Nice pun. And yes you die easily, it's intended, but once you get used to the mechanics it's much easier(but not easy :) )

Nipper Nosher by AlgorithmicsAnonymous 2015-08-25T08:06:00

yea there is a point where the bottom becomes a trap. If you haven't got up by a certain point, there is no way back. It's intentional :)

Nipper Nosher by AlgorithmicsAnonymous 2015-08-25T12:53:00

Awesome thanks Jupiter_Hadley

Nipper Nosher by AlgorithmicsAnonymous 2015-08-25T13:20:00

Just watched the video good job btw

Nipper Nosher by AlgorithmicsAnonymous 2015-08-26T22:13:00

yea it's done in phaser using Arcade physics which puts hitboxes on the transparent parts, needed to use a different physics choice, but was too late to change it throughout when we realised(was out first time making anything in HTML5/JS.. let alone using phaser). We are planning to take it further at some point, and will revisit that issue then. Glad you enjoyed it!

The Reaper's Daily Routine by Aelius 2015-08-24T20:22:00

Been playing unity games on Here all day, But yours doesn't work properly for me. None of the controls work, and when it asks for 'any key' only mouse buttons(all of them) make it react. :(

Aberrant by Cake_Catastrophe 2015-08-24T20:46:00

Really good take on stealth game

UFO by Polyganz 2015-08-25T18:33:00

Like the idea you need to get the parts to function properly, like the graphics style. As mentioned the hover sound is annoying after a little while, and it's rather easy. But overall pretty decent.
