Under the Bed by Logun

[raw]
made by Logun for LD25 (COMPO)
[Update] : bug fix with collision (for C2 owner, was overlaping instead of collision with object between the light and the monster). Nothing else changed. And there is Src now !

You control a monster. You have to scare children in a dormitory.

Hard arcade style ! Avoiding the light is not easy, you have to think about your route. (Pro tips : start from the beds on the right).

Have fun every one !

Arrows to move
G & J to shake a bed
H to Hide
F5 if you want to retry !

The lady's light is more often on the top beds. Try to attack the other children first ;)

nice idea, but tricky gameplay... nice graphics and awesomely creepy looking monster!

Great idea! "You score when a child is crying" - that's evil. Graphics are great, and makes the game very understandable while still unique. Nice job..

Beautiful animations, and great concept! I'm not sure how to avoid getting spotted, the lady just keeps staying at the bed. Reminds me of some parts of Super Mario RPG.

Yeah, I had no time to finish her behaviors when no child is crying. She have to back to her chair. Actually, you must move before she come ;) !

The monster animation is lovely - and so are the graphics overall. It's really a pity you don't have sound effects (crying! wooshing!) or music to build more atmosphere!

The gameplay is cool, but sometimes I have problems figuring out if I will be spotted. I'm not sure if I play it wrong or if it's not too clear.

Overall: Good job!

PS: Good work with the title screen. Your post in the blog while you developed got me to try this game out.

PPS: Restart with F5 instead of an easily reachable key? :/

In fact, the variables didn't want to reset properly with the key. Sadly, I chose to avoid this problem and concentrate on the lady IA (1/2 of my time on this game I think).
The light isn't very buggy (very few times, she can spot you frome everywhere :D), but hard to avoid ! The route must be a bit planned ;)

quick and simple, and yet I keep reloading the page :)

Great atmosphere, really appropriate graphics, and an overall "I am a sneaky monster" feeling that is hard to describe and that I don't really know how to express in the rating.

The only think I don't like is the "shaking the bed" controls. I don't think smashing the keyboard matches the sneaky gameplay

Neat animation for the monster :D But is it possible to fill even a single scared-rate bar? :p I loved this concept anyway!

Loved the concept. Very original. I filled a few bars but nothing happened. Would be neat if that was a requirement and there were a couple other things in the game. Very good start and very original and cool idea. Worth playing with some more.

Oh, if only this had creepy soundscapes and scattering monster claw feet sound effects, it would be perfect! That creature is hideous, I'm glad I'm not a kid on some orphanage... Or Am I? DUN DUN DUN

Feels slightly clunky to move around, and I'm not a fan of the track-and-field toggling TBH. But a *great* monster design and overall concept!

Thats a scary monster. Very well done.
Also very original take on the theme.

That monster really looks scary! Great job on that! I enjoyed making strategies on the order of kids to scare. Other than that, I failed a couple times when I thought the light wasn't going to spot me. A retry button would be nice.

Hahaha! Loved this! It's simple, fun, great graphics. I love the big monster claws and the way it feels. Unqiue, quirky, full of personality. Really enjoyed it.
