YOU MONSTER!!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, the game works and there is a clear scoring system.  Becoming a monster for 120 seconds seemed like an incredibly long time considering that you simply annihilate everything you touch.

It was worth messing around with, but 109MB worth of downloading seems like a lot!"},{"author_name":"Vacso","author_uid":"27541","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:01am","epoch":1440467760,"text":"No no no, you are the monster as per the theme ;) Yeh, my engine *cough* may be a bit bulky sorry.

Kill cats by colliding with them to earn two points. When you have twenty of these points the eye in the bottom right corner will become colored meaning you can become the monster by hitting the space bar. While you are a monster you have 2 minutes to kill everything to get as many points as possible. If the points you have gained as a monster exceed your previous high score then congratulations, you now have a new high score. When you are not a monster avoid the other people as touching them will hurt you. Plus they aren't nice. I like to think it's a bit overkill turning in to a monster as killing 10 cats is enough to be one anyway.\r\nI can not validate or test OS\/X compatibility because my Mac computer is unavailable. I am just assuming that it is fine because it is Java and previous experience indicates this. Please tell me if you have an issue of any kind or critic and if I can not fix the OS\/X port then I will simply remove it.\r\nMusic sourced from Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) a list of the songs can be found in the help menu.\r\n-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\r\n----------------------------Controls---------------------------------\r\n-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\r\nWASD move the player.\r\nSpacebar will turn you in to a monster when you have enough points.\r\nShift will slow down your movement speed.\r\nX will turn you back to a human when you are a monster.\r\nLeft and Right keys will navigate the help menu.","title":"Shifting"}
