You Only Have One Minute by Somfunambulist

[raw]
made by Somfunambulist for LD28 (COMPO)
Not quite finished, there's some missing features. You can still technically play it, and here's how! Set a one minute timer after the monster emerges, and when it goes off, if he hasn't caught you, you win!

CONTROLS:
arrow keys: move
z: climb
x: push/pull
c: interact

EDIT:
Got rid of some of the debug stuff.

Cool idea! It's too bad you couldn't get everything done. I absolutely love the art!

Cool idea and fantastic pixel art! The monster looks really good and it reminds me of Earthbound a bit. The interactions with the environment was cool! Good job.

Love the art! Though I didn't read the instructions before playing, and wandered back right next to the furnace when time ran up, and he walked by me and explored the house. Unfortunately he came back down eventually and ate me. :(

Great artwork and excellent mood. I found the monster pretty frightening. I hope you keep working on this.

A really good effort. The pixel art is fantastic for the time you were given.

I was going to sink a bunch of time into my main project over winter break, but I may just code this from the ground up instead, in an attempt to finish it. If I do, expect an actual lighting engine, and A* pathfinding.

You have a huge talent for pixel art, I'm very impressed! Unfortunate that the game isn't finished, I really hope you'll find a good use for these great assets!
My advice for future LDs though would be to design your game in a way that requires less time spent on graphics to get more time on the game logic.

I absolutely adore the concept. Please do take time after compo and finish it. Great pixel art.

Great art! Nice details like the lamps getting smashed.
And that monster is creepy as shit, especially the climbing out animation.

Also, apparently it can walk through boxes and tables?

Really needs sound, but it still gets overall 5/5 just for the idea and style.

Great looking and a nice idea. Couldn't figure out how to win though.

Cool game! Not finished obviously but it definitely showed promise. I would rate this game higher than other finished games. Nice job

It's a interesting idea!
But I have got a bug cause game can't work correctly,
I didn't hide or interact with any stuff, then the monster will stop in front of a bed in a room, the screen keep shacking and nothing happened.
Anyway, It's still fun, good job!:D
