I'm a Monster Rawr! by bakakyo

[raw]
made by bakakyo for LD33 (JAM)
You're a Monster, but a nice one!
Your mission is to save the citizens and take them to the Ambulance.
But the police doesn't understand you're only trying to help!
After you save 10 citizens you'll go to another (harder) city!
How far can you go?

Move your monster using the arrow keys or the WASD keys and bring the citizens down to the ambulance.

Have Fun!

► Use Firefox or Internet Explorer (god help us) to play!

Note: That's my 1st game, so any tips are really welcome ♥

Killer art, great concept. I loved the AI of the citizens and the cuteness of it all. After picking up citizen 12, I couldn't deliver any more... :(

I loved the art! The gameplay got a bit repetitive though by the later levels (and it could use more enemy types, adding more cops didn't make it that much harder since they just grouped up anyway).

I love the premise. Super cute monster and cute music! Bullets are a bit hard to see though, and it's slightly buggy starting at the second level: sometimes citizens still show after you've dropped them, and/or you have to drop them again.. Also you get hit when starting a new level before you can even move, that's how I died :( The gameplay is a bit repetitive but it has potential.
I saved 30 citizens :]

Great artwork, and a cute monster. Fairly simple gameplay. I liked that you could "bounce" the girls around while having one follow you, so that you can "herd" them into positions not too far from the ambulance.

I like the look of it. Music is good. Music and aesthetic all tie in well so the mood I also rate highly. Gameplay was not fun, very basic and as far as I know you can't beat this game.

Really cute game! The graphics are nicely done and the gameplay is simple and accessible.
The game seems too simple at first. I just had to run in a wide circle to get all the citizens while avoiding all the bullets. But then it gets harder and I had to change my strategy.
Overall I'd say it's a great game! Congrats!

25. Aug 2015 · 18:43 UTC
This is a really cute game, and I love the art style! Just a couple of thing I noticed, though:
1. the backing track doesn't seem to loop, so the levels I took rather long on got a bit quiet once it had ended;
2. the citizens count as 'saved' once the monster touches the ambulance, rather than once the citizens themselves touch the ambulance, which felt a bit strange when a citizen had become stuck against a building or something.

Still, great job! :D

Sometimes I have trouble getting the kids in the van, I think when I'm dragging them in from the left or right while sticking to the bottom, instead of in from the top where the hitbox is? I'm not sure.

Really cute art and voices, and nice choice of music! Great job!

25. Aug 2015 · 20:04 UTC
hahaha who said monsters need to be bad?
Great little game, lasted just as long as it should.
Nice job on art and music. Wish the gameplay was a tiny bit more complex.
Great job nonetheless! Pretty good for 1st game! :)
Claire1605
25. Aug 2015 · 20:06 UTC
Very cute, in terms of feedback I'd say maybe in the first level the map was a bit big, it got a bit repetitive due to how far you have to move to collect all 10 people - maybe make either the map smaller or reduce the amount of people to collect in that level? Also in one of my attempts i lost a health before I'd even had the change to move, which seemed unfair! Overall really nice game though :)

The monster is so cute :) It was the nice idea, to show a nice monster in the game. But why are those cops shooting them?

Nice idea!

I think the difficulty curve was roughly about right, but there are a few little things which make it annoying (civilians just hanging around in a fire, or refusing to go into the van, or getting stuck behind a house :) )

The music and sounds were good, too!
xvw
27. Aug 2015 · 22:38 UTC
Cute little game. Gameplay is simple but it fits the needs. The idea nicely fits the theme, who would though about a 'good' monster ? :)
Some level are frustrating because the monster spawn near to the policemen and get immediatly shot. The town(s?) could have been better, less repetitive, more details.

But overall, it's a cool game. Well done.

Nice art, has some issues. You asked for some tips, here is what I found:
- The music ends and doesn't start again, just loop it.
- Sometimes people get stuck and you have to return for them, so maybe if your distance is equal to certain number, let them go.
- Controls need a bit more tweaking, felt a bit unresponsive.
- Graphics are really nice, but the floor and the fire doesn't match completely the rest of the art.

Good job

OMG it's sooo KAWAII ^_^

The SFX when you start the game is great! Melted my heart.

Gameplay was simple but functional and surprisingly engaging. I found myself trying to save several people at once, expecting them to "conga line" behind me but was sad to see this wasn't possible. Would suggest thinking about how to add a second layer to the gameplay where the player could do something more risky that would reap bigger rewards, e.g. the aforementioned conga line which could allow you to save multiple characters at once, but the drawback could be slower movement speed or that they might have a higher chance to accidentally get shot by the police or something similar like this. Point is, I think the gameplay needs something more to spice things up!

Great job!

The art in this game is fantastic. I'm not quite sure if the concept is fully explained to the player before you start, maybe a little flashing arrow pointing to the citizens and the ambulance would help. I think the citizens should probably follow your last known position, so they don't get stuck between buildings. OVerall the gameplay is nice and the music is very cheerful and happy.
PeteGrammarman
06. Sep 2015 · 04:50 UTC
Adorable, lovely art. And the sound at the beginning was cute too. As a game its pretty simple/easy, but maybe tweaking the motion and adding powerups could make it into a fuller idea.

07. Sep 2015 · 13:35 UTC
Nice music and a good simple game. The music did not loop so after I took a while to collect the first 10 the music had ended. Had to use a house to re-align a girl to get her into the car.

Graphics are cute!

Well done.
kirbytails7
08. Sep 2015 · 06:13 UTC
Very cheery. The music fits nicely.
A couple of thoughts:
- The bullets could stand out a bit more, by size, color, etc.
- It might be nice to know how many citizens remain.
