Taberu Bakemono: the Eating Monster
Taberu is a monster that, from era to era, leaves the center of the world and, for a day, feeds on the surface, until the sun goes down. Unfortunately, your village was in the monster's path.
Upon noticing the creature's huge mouth approaching, some villagers ran away immediately. You, the king of this tribe, waited for each resident to escape safely to get away from the threat together. Find the others and keep them alive. Look for an escape route until Taberu is satisfied and goes back to your millennial sleep.
Taberu Bakemono is a collect&craft one shot-trial.
Gather resources, build your own escape route and find one of three ways to get out of Taberu's way!
Controls:
WASD: to move
Spacebar: to jump
Mouse click: to craft
How to craft
- Gather resources in trees and mines, click "+" to add a pixie, and "-" to remove. the more pixies crafting (up to 4 in each spot), the faster.
- Click in ladder, or block, then click again in range to confirm your craft. Both itens cost 4 resource (wood or stone) to craft.

Sorry guys. With the beginning of the week we only managed to turn our attention to LD today, and only today did we realize that itchio had a password. We have already removed and now we will fix some bugs. Thanks!
I felt that the jumping in this game was super unforgiven, I can't trust that I will be able to nail even the smallest jump. I got almost all the way to the end, but failed and thinking what I had to do again all the way to the end made me give up.
Ah, and I loved the little guys that follow you around :D. But sad that some times they suicide themselves in the water T-T.
Thank you so much for playing! We are working on some bugs, mainly for the little pixies, saying that life is beautiful and that it is not necessary to jump in the water.
As it says in the description, the village of these little creatures was attacked by a monster, and the player's objective is to escape from there keeping everyone alive and safe. We are working on a way to explain this ingame, before gameplay.
Please run again in the next updates and thanks again!
The game really lacks a tutorial of some kind, even some text here or on the game page would be great, since I've spent about 5 minutes trying to do something.
The controls are a bit finicky, I think it would be better if you locked building options to a grid, since in current version there might be problems with proper placing resulting in frustration. Also, it seems very inconvenient, that walking turns building mode off, since you can build only inside a small radius, you want to move to a place where you want to put things, and you might not get it right for the first time.
You might not have a lot of time to address all these things, but I strongly advise to explain controls at least in the text form, so people won't frustrate over this.
The art looks cool and I love the traditional japanese score. The art would look better, if the pixel resolutions would fit perfectly though. It looks very stretchy like it is now.
I'll wait for a possible answer, before I finish the rating.
I need few try to find out how to progress but the gameplay is fun! Good job!
Thank you so much for playing our game. Your feedback is super important for us to continue the game! We created a tutorial here in the description that will be improved in the coming days. Thanks again!
Had fun with your game, well done :)
It's a great concpet and it really surprised me to see how little attention it got.
