Mega-Normous-All-Devouring-Beast-o-Saurus-Super-Evil-Angry-Hairy-Scary-Thing (Rampage Lord of the Darketty Dark) by garygreen

[raw]
made by garygreen for LD33 (COMPO)
A piece of interactive fiction about an evil creature that goes on the rampage from 9 to 5.

Created using Squiffy http://textadventures.co.uk/squiffy , Caustic (music), Photographs edited in Image Editor app.

There is music in this game right from the start. I'd appreciate it you'd let me know if it plays or not.

Edit (24/08/2015): I fixed a few bugs that were stopping players from winning the game.

As far as Ludum Dare goes, creating a piece of interaction fiction for it is a new direction for me. It was fun, even making the mistake of getting to grips with a new programming tool while doing the jam. :-) It was also fun dressing up as the most frightening creature the world has ever seen? ;-)

P.S. If you wonder where I'm coming from with this game, I suppose films like Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Brain Dead are an influence.

Loved it. The music was suitably freaky and I enjoyed eating all those bothersome people. Very droll.

Love the dark humor-- it feels nicely balanced between total destruction and silly coffee breaks. I played it a few times to see the different endings. The music is perfect. Nice work!

Interesting story. I kinda liked it. I included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ml0OKpi-I0Y

Great writing, very fun mix of normal actions and nonchalant killing :)

Music is good, and you are indeed a monster devouring things. Seems a bit like it was made in powerpoint though.

A little bit different "game".
I burned myself to death, too bad :P

Loved the story and the atmosphere it created with music, well done

Interesting story. I wasn't sure how I felt about the music.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. :-) I was in two minds about including the music, and I understand that some people might not enjoy it, but in the end I thought it was worth trying it out to see how it worked with the text.

Loved the sense of humor and the merger of office work and wanton (rather than wonton) destruction. The writing reminded me a bit of Douglas Adams with its detached acceptance of the absurd. That said, there could have been more branching paths through the narrative and a more diverse set of outcomes. I felt like I was being herded through the story at several points, such as being forced to go to the library because the cinema is closed.

Hilarious! Original story followed by a freaky music that fits very well. I also learned about Squiffy, which seems to be a nice tool for this kind of text adventures.

I loved the dark humour plus how the background music adds to the mood.

Thanks again everyone for giving my game a go and taking the time to feedback on it. :-) I have to admit at points in the narrative I wasn't sure where to go and ended up doubling back. In future games hopefully this shouldn't be a problem, as I'll have more time to work out varied paths.
