Thanks for the really funny game! excellent work!! The monster sprite is just awesome!!

Fun concept until you really try to not eat anyone. Its almost impossible with how seemingly random teleportation after becoming monster is.

Submitted

Simple but funny :) Great work!

lol I was surprised when he suddenly changed, and then i blindly eat people. I thought it was the goal of the game, but it turned out to be the opposite.

At certain level, when i enter the door, the game over showed up. Probably this is bug.

Anyway, nice concept but maybe you can add more instruction.

Submitted

Hmmmm all i wanted to do was eat the people. But apparently that was frowned upon. haha

Good work

Submitted

I have laughed when the game told me I wasn't suppose to eat the people :D 

This concept made me think of a game where you turn into a monster like at night, haunt a village but need to retrieve to you liar before the sunrise so nobody finds out who the monster is. The game could be set in a small village with like 10 villagers and you would kill one person a night. During the day you all gather and try to figure out who is the monster(like Among Us).

I enjoyed that so much, gave me a really solid chuckle when I ate those people and found out I wasn't supposed to. Great idea!

Submitted

Well, I guess I wasn't paying attention when I became a monster, and proceeded to gobble up all of the people. Very interesting concept though, would be interesting to see where this one goes if you iterate on it. Keep it up!

Submitted

The concept is interesting and fits well on the limitation given! Great Job!

The idea of transformation, changing goals, and resisting your dark side is a good one. It reminds me of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

While the main concept is interesting, I think this needed a bit more variety: for example, each room could have a different configuration, with increasing difficulty.

Note, I also got the bug where entering the door in the 4th room made me lose.

I really wanted to eat those people...

stupid tasty people tempting me

It's a game where you have to go between rooms without eating any people, just like in real life!


I liked figuring out how to beat levels through experimentation: person, vial, keys, try not to eat anyone.

I lol'd the first time after I ate everyone. "You werent supposed to eat those people!" I was like "oh damn, sorry" hahah

Submitted

I ate only one person but when I finished the ~4th level (went through the door), it told me I had failed. Not sure if I had done something wrong or it's a bug...

Submitted

That happened to me too

Interesting take on the concept, although it seems that the game is rather short and unfinished.
