I could not play it, may you can export a web or pc version, instead of only the source, but by the images it look similar to mirrors edge, which is great.

Hey Hyoga, sorry about that! I hadn't gotten all the links up yet! Now you can download the Webplayer version AND/OR a Windows Standalone! Have fun!!

Simplistic graphic works. Using right mouse button is terrible idea - my browse wants to do some stuff instead of letting my play. Mouse easily goes off screen as well.

I dislike the color of floating balls of decomposition gun - Die! Purple! Die! become red or black

Theme: connection to theme is weak, killing humans and that's it.

Overall it works but I don't feel reason to play it for longer period of time.

It's cool! I did feel a bit bad for killing those people... but then again you are the monster. I just wasn't quite sure about the objective.

Great Game!

I like the concept of having different tools to be a monster, and the idea of monster theme/psuedo-puzzle seems fun.

Alas, all good things have issues.
It seems that falling off does not result in any sort of death. Large issue. Other than that, it seems like a great game!

I played the Windows version. I suggest you to hide and lock the mouse cursor. I wasn't able to play the game without running it fullscreen and disabling one monitor.

It's a really nice game, but I do feel bad for these Blender guys.

The game looks pretty good, but the delivery is lacking. If you don't mind, adjust the downloads like this:
Zip up the .exe+data
upload the .html to some free hosting service (github or itch.io work pretty well)
Make the three options seperate links on your ludum dare page.

This should get you more reviews.

One more issue: When you make a first person game, make sure to bind the mouse! There's a few simple functions in unity that'll do it for you.

Has a lot of potential. I'd like to see some expansion on the creation mechanic, maybe make it tied to killing or destroying other blocks. Has a lot of room for improvement, but it was a joy to play a peaceful game like this. Well done!

I mostly just enjoyed placing the blocks and making little homes for the blender people. The whole "be a monster" thing doesn't fit in this.

You say I'm the monster, but I see no point in killing humans... it doesn't help me beat the levels.

It麓s a cool game with a lot of features, but with that also comes some problems.
I would recommend making your own skyboxes and lock and hide the mouse, if you wanna increse the quality of the game overall.
Overall I think you did a good job!
