Go Away, Zeus! by Crimson713

[raw]
made by Crimson713 for LD35 (COMPO)
Zeus is shapeshifting into animals to seduce your wife! Stop him by finding out which animal he has turned into. Can you protect your wife for a month?

Controls: Left mouse click to shoot arrows.

Zeus has behavior patterns that make him stand out from normal animals.

Hint 1: Zeus might be able to shapeshift, but he cannot copy animal voices/cries.

Hint 2: Every time you blink, Zeus moves closer to your wife. Be fast!

Also, don't shoot innocent animals! (unless you set difficulty to Easy)

Made with Unity & Visual Studio.
Clip Studio Paint was used for "art", Audacity for "sound".

I love the "pschhhhhh" for the buttons. The art and the sound effects are very unique. Took me a little while to figure out what's going on, I think you have to listen for who is NOT making a noise?

Haha amazing! Awesome concept, design, art. Perhaps a bit challenging, I never made it a month. Zeus is too sneaky. Seriously wonderful game.

The graphics are absolutely wonderful... and hey - with a naked woman in there how could they be anything but...

Gameplay wise... took me a while to figure it out. Kinda wish there was a little bit more info before we started (some hints). Either way. I did enjoy playing. But, the graphics are really what made the game.

Well. I really liked this game, as I have fantasies all the time about being cuckholded by the god of gods... did I just say that? oops. Really funny game, got a really humorous mood going on and the audio and visuals help a lot with it!

Nice game, very funny concept and graphics.

Hey there, fellow Greek mythology allusioner! :P

I love the humour, graphics and sounds are fittingly silly. Even using the GUI is fun, that makes up for the low diversity of gameplay ;). Great job! :)

Took me a while to figure out that you're supposed to find the animal that's not making a noise! When I got that it was pretty fun!

Really funny sounds and a real innovative idea!

Hope you had fun making it =)

I really love this entry - the concept, the art style, and the humour (that Zeus really was a troublemaker)! It got difficult very quickly, but it was a lot of fun - there's a great sense of tension when you're trying not to be a blink too late.

All of the animals were superbly drawn, I have to say, and the additional details were very funny. You were really resourceful with the sounds, too, and I think they worked perfectly. Plus, having to match up real animal sounds alongside spotting Zeus would have probably made the game way too hard.

Great job, and a wonderful interpretation of the theme!

I couldn't get past level 10 on normal, and I quit at level 21 on easy, but I assume It was endless.
It was pretty clever, and really gets difficult.
I think it should have an end level, and an option to continue to endless.

Could you at least show us which one was zeus when we lose? Then we'd be able to gradually learn from our mistakes.

Zeus was such a kinky old goat, wasn't he? I love the premise of this game even though I wasn't very effective at keeping him out of my marital arrangements... I did figure it out eventually though.

Art is functional (I'd be a hypocrite to criticise!) but with some very nice little touches. The sound effects were great!

Overall, a very fun and entertaining little game with heaps of character and humour. Good work!

Really funny game. I love how it turns into a cacophony of man-made animal noises. It gets really tough after a while so I stopped listening and started shooting all animals that moved too close to my wife. The graphics are hilarious.

As a suggestion, maybe you can introduce new mechanics after each few rounds that add something fresh, e.g. something you have to click on within a time limit to divert the player's attention.
