LD33 — You are the Monster

I Spy (A Ghost!) by OmarShehata 2015-08-29T16:42:00

Cute graphics with really smooth controls and animation. Odds are possibly slightly against the player - ghost always seem to win :}

CRUNCH!!! An Interplanetary Meal Trip by Ryusui 2015-08-25T10:01:00

A great little game. Solid idea which makes it fun and replayable. I keep hearing the little planet dwellers going, "Jinkies!". I probably need sleep :}

Brood by SecondDimension 2015-08-29T16:07:00

Lovely graphics, the game ran a tad sluggish on my Chrome (Linux) so took a few tries to grab a monster to fling. Also, what does the emoticon with 3 eyes mean? This would play really nice on a touch device :}

Primary objective by Aurel Bílý 2015-08-30T14:37:00

Ahh nostalgia, this was fun :} A solid entry!

From SLIME to KING by Druid 2015-08-25T11:12:00

Super hardcore. Think I died all but once when I was allowed to move around before being stabbed :}

Trouble in Monsterland by ZYXer 2015-08-31T21:45:00

Looks good! Feels a little awkward when attacking, there were minor issues with collision where humans were not getting hit when I'm standing too close and attacking them. A great start to a solid game if you're wanting to take this further!

Can I Haz Monsters? by Omiya Games 2015-08-25T03:12:00

Love the concept and playfulness of this. I imagine this would suit a controller pretty well!

Also, the web build works on Chrome in Linux so this is probably the first Unity game I've ever played without having to dual boot :}

Late for the Show by Gamepopper 2015-08-29T20:27:00

A neat little game. I immediately went on a button mashing spree but I kept missing my tail :}

Who is the Monster? by smotko 2015-08-25T10:48:00

Nice twist at the end! Temp shield saved my skin plenty times. Wish I had a way of getting back some health by eating the younglings :}

Also, thanks for using WebGL for Unity, means I can play it on Linux :}

Free Me, You Idiots! by GBGames 2015-08-25T11:16:00

Sorry, it didn't seem to want to run on my linux machine :/

Curse Of The Poncho by EncryptedCow 2015-08-25T18:51:00

A fun little shooter with heart! It stopped working at level 3 (?) when the baddies (2 in total) suddenly stopped shooting and one just won't die :}

UMON by magenta 2015-08-25T02:27:00

Sorry, we didn't have time to make a tutorial! You'll need to increase a skill (start with the one that is cheapest - "0") before Umon is strong enough to scare a villager :}

UMON by magenta 2015-08-25T02:31:00

Whoops! Meant to say, there's a slight strategy when levelling up. Hint - do it *just* before Umon almost dies.

UMON by magenta 2015-08-25T02:34:00

Haha! Thanks, Reccy!

UMON by magenta 2015-08-25T10:29:00

Aww, thanks everyone. We are still dead but happy that you like Umon!

Ryusul, sorry about that! We should probably add a button mash or quicktime mini game during health regeneration :}

Also ran out of steam and time before I could add more monster costumes. One day I'll get a hang of this animating sprite thing!

UMON by magenta 2015-08-26T23:27:00

Thank you, all!

@A_K, totally agree :}

@smotko, thanks so much for the feedback! Sorry, we should have been more clear about that aspect. If you've ever played Risk (originally a board game), this is based loosely on part of the rules when you conquer a territory on a map :}

UMON by magenta 2015-08-29T16:53:00

@aprotasenya Yikes! It shouldn't take that long to load :} What browser/OS are you on? We've only tested it on Chrome and Firefox (Linux). At the most, about 3 minutes.

UMON by magenta 2015-08-29T16:55:00

Thanks very much to everyone who has played and left comments, we really appreciate them :}

This has definitely given us so many pointers to work with!!

UMON by magenta 2015-09-01T11:50:00

Hey @Jupiter_Hadley, thanks for playing! Sorry we weren't clear about the popups! You had to click the numbers and then move to the popup to click the upgrades. There's a few options on the popups so it wasn't just a simple click to upgrade.

We would have made a tutorial but there wasn't time. Also, we're not big fans of tutorials and much rather prefer people explore the interface so your video was very helpful, thank you!!

UMON by magenta 2015-09-01T11:52:00

Oh one more thing, the popup isn't supposed to be where it is now but closer to the skill button so you didn't have to move too far to upgrade. We just ran out of time :/

Barrel Roll Ultra! by Saf 2015-08-30T17:37:00

A cheeky homage to a retro classic. Cute graphics with plenty to do in the later levels!

Mobs, Inc. by Pietro Ferrantelli 2015-08-30T01:42:00

Very sleek, sounds great, looks good. Would be perfect on touch devices! Love the intermission :}

Intergalactic Love Machine by Slothmachine 2015-08-25T21:51:00

A great twist on the memory game! Graphics are super sleek, makes me want to watch Space Dandy now :}

Intergalactic Love Machine by Slothmachine 2015-08-25T21:55:00

Whoops, forgot to add - the Android APK worked like a charm. In fact, I think the game is meant to be played on mobile devices!

Inspector Clumber by GraciCebola 2015-08-29T20:56:00

Would love to try this but it keeps crashing on startup for me. I am running it under Wine in Linux so that could be it :}

Profession: Chair de Poule by dunin 2015-08-29T21:07:00

Fantastic story telling! The plot and subjects seem innocent enough but there's something quite unsettling about the whole thing :} Marvellous.

Fish Monger by Zemmi 2015-08-31T22:09:00

Haha! That was a bit cheeky. A pretty solid stealth game with a wacky theme.

Corruption-5 by hexagore 2015-08-25T02:00:00

Very polished. The story made me a captive audience. The teleporters were highly suspect until it suddenly hit me - poor doggie! This made me run through a wall.

Mornings of a Seventeen Year-Old Girl by Mike Mezhenin 2015-08-25T10:38:00

A nice twist on a dress up - a face up? :} Wish there was more time (don't we all!?!). FML

Soup by JoshDBB 2015-08-25T01:42:00

Sleek, simple and very cool. Had a lot of fun just avoiding the other blobs :}

Too Late, Too Bitter by JackDegree 2015-08-25T19:09:00

As someone who practises & appreciates similar ancient knowledge, it broke me to break the glass. I guess now I'm "free" :/

Meet the Monsta by Schrodinger Games 2015-08-30T16:25:00

Nice style, especially the music and sound effects! Maybe a bit too hard? I had to switch hands to make the monster move before my left one passed out. How did you manage to play so many games :}

Nimble by Lynx 2015-08-30T03:06:00

Really nice, bold graphics. Have you played BishiBashi? I think this would suit the trashcan level. Possibly change the rules a bit so it becomes either a rhythm and memory game so the pacing allows us to appreciate the wonderful visuals that's getting skipped at the moment cause you're focusing on the arrows.

MadMonsterMassacre [MMM] by AwesomeAlliterationAlliance 2015-08-30T17:46:00

A simple but solid bridge defence game. Wonderful presentation with a bold art style, the variety of waves will keep you entertained.

Mild Mannered Richard by DarkwindMedia 2015-08-31T22:04:00

Wonderful art style! Frustratingly challenging controls reminiscent of qwop but a hell lot more satisfying.

Lardum by Grahhhhh 2015-08-29T17:18:00

Haha! This made me snort tea from my nose :} The voice acting really makes this shine!

Huntingman Championship by Forlorn79 2015-08-29T17:14:00

I'm definitely a monster after this. All those poor animals! Was a bit hard to play using the arrow keys and mouse but then again, I'm using a laptop so that's my fault :}

Frankenslash by ChrisAntem 2015-08-29T16:48:00

Nice idea and a great start, love the chunky pixels! The coins don't update but it looks like the game remembers so I could do a decent upgrade with hilarious results :}

MONSTERS CARD GAME by alienart 2015-08-29T16:32:00

Simple top trumps at the moment but can definitely become something more complex with small tweaks to the rules, maybe more card slots and let the winning cards stay behind for another play?

The Letterpress Imp by StaNov 2015-08-25T10:14:00

Love the concept of both game design and folklore behind those "mysterious" typos! Wish he didn't skid around so much :}

Whoops was that alive? by Benjaminsen 2015-08-25T01:55:00

Great for touch screen. Nice and polished! Really liked the second one :}

May have stumbled on a bug where I (clumsily) dragged the mouse twice fast enough which made the game halt on the first level.

Wild Flirting by bloomingbuds 2015-08-29T20:01:00

That was a hoot! I may have giggled out loud :}

Monster Eggs by Riftpoint 2015-08-29T16:17:00

A fun, little game with a really nice personal touch of randomness!

Minion, I have to take a leak. by fistmaker 2015-08-29T16:28:00

Nice concept! There were small issues with collision when firing near the main treasure chest and I wasn't sure if I was killing the knights until they became ghosts. Wish the boss would hurry up with the leaking and join in :}

Fireapocalypseeverseen!!! by DAT.NOT.MY.GAME! 2015-08-29T19:43:00

Looks great! Plays a little clunky and I got a bit confused at first but realised quickly what to do next.

Jack vs Werewolf by marom 2015-08-29T21:19:00

Looks great! Player controls could be better, maybe aim to shoot via character direction and spacebar? I was so close to shooting the werewolf had it not been for the mouse aim :}

Fly On The Wall by Apostrophe 2015-08-29T17:30:00

Nice puzzles and a good start for something bigger! Felt a bit sluggish clicking on things (don't think I managed to pick anything up) but the fly mouse hover is a touch of genius even if it went a bit chaotic :} Would be nice to have a restart level. Love the movie reference!

Dude, Stop by Patomkin 2015-08-31T17:09:00

Solid take on the theme. Wish there was more visual feedback (maybe turn the pointer into a hand) so I knew I was close to doing something :}

Abominable by Cosmic5 2015-08-29T20:40:00

A really nice, solid start! Would be good to see a finished version, if you decide to pursue it :}

McTremson Bar by collaboration 2015-08-31T14:16:00

Wonderful atmosphere, the music really ramped up the style! Wish there was a way to notify how many endings I got, maybe during the end sequence? Ooh and the character went into an epileptic fit when he walked to the next orange arrow until I closed the dialogue box.

How cookies ruined my life. by Suese 2015-08-29T20:11:00

Hilarious! Good graphics and atmosphere. Control feels a little on the clunky side, there's a teensy slight lag between key press and attack. On one occasion, the Cookie Monster sprite didn't render but I could still attack. Played on Chrome (Linux).

Chompy by GeorgeBroussard 2015-08-29T17:03:00

So hard, so good. I think my stomach spilled out from my mouth a few times.

Slasher by Miltage 2015-08-29T17:53:00

Oh my, this was great fun :} Bits reminded me of Ghost Master! Fantastic mood throughout - I played it safe and stood by just one window, climbed in for a quick hit and climbed out. Would happily pay for a fully fleshed out B-movie cheesier version with different villains.
