MONSTER'S BUFFET by glitchu
*UPDATE* With the shift and space key if it doesnt work:
-Once you build up your meter you can press shift to hide.
-When you're near an object you can press spacebar to eat.
If you dont fill up the bar or you're not near anything to eat, nothing will happen.
But do let me know if you've tried the above then I will try and fix the problem and sorry for the confusion!
This is my first entry. I've had fun while I was making it but mainly entered to push my limits and trying out new things. Unfortunately I couldn't finish alot of the artwork as I was coding the AI for the people, which I suck at but learnt alot from it. Also that meant there's a lack of music and sounds, but I tried to get them in at the last minute.
You are a transformable monster and you are hungry for humans. Watch out for the agents as they will try to hunt you down. Use your abilities to sneak, escape and confuse your prey.
Fill up your gauge by successfully eaten things. Gauge can give you more hiding and stay in a body for longer periods of time. The eye tells whether you are visible or hidden.
You can also hide in inanimate objects and you will inherit the speed and body of the thing you've eaten.
You are invincible in hide form and you will move alot quicker so if use it if you need to escape. However, this will drain your gauge quicker so be careful. When you exit hide form you will transform back into a monster.
The game does progressively get harder as more agents will turn up.
Have fun :)
Controls:
W - UP
S - DOWN
D - RIGHT
A - LEFT
SHIFT- HIDE (only when you have meter filled, if it's empty then nothing will happen)
SPACEBAR - EAT (only works when near object/person(cant just eat the air), press again to exit body if no other thing is next to you)

I made a game on GMS too, and some people complained that pressing R wasn't restarting the game for them, but it worked fine for most. I don't know why this is happening.
Oh And i m just reading now that you can hide... I should try again.
I also made a game where you have to hide to eat people :D
