Who's Da Monster ? by Natura-Time

[raw]
made by Natura-Time for LD33 (JAM)
Your people are getting eaten !
You must find the monster during his human form after its first attack !

It's like a Where's Waldo but combined with a memory, how many levels can you beat ?

"Click to save your people" -> Click on the screen start the game !
Click on the human that you think is the monster ! (It only appears after the first attack happens)

(This game works with Java, if there is a problem, make sure first your Java is up-to-date)

Nice concept, but I think that the player needs more clues to imagine in first term who is the monster. I have enjoyed to try it :-)

I spent a little bit stuck on the first screen because I didn't realize "click to save people" meant to click on that text, hehe. I think a bit more instruction for the player would go a long way. The audio selections were very nice.

Couldn't get passed the first screen, (might just be me being an idiot) sorry.

This is a very cool and unique game!

Some of the text is a bit unclear, and the long "you caught the monster" screen should be shorter.

Good game. I liked the idea of accusing the monster (of being the monster) good game :D. Also I disagree with MechanicMoon with the clues. Games should not hold people's hands, great game!

Thanks for the feedbacks !

MachanicMoon : To do this is like do an auto-aim in any FPS so it's less funny and hard :p

mrdude1228 : You can just click on the screen but yep, it may be unclear x)

Mister_Melon : You didn't tried to click ?

TerraCottaFrog : Yep, you're right ! Thanks !

Nnnnneeeedddd : Ahah thanks ! ^_^

Not sure how this fits in with the theme of "you are the monster" if you're catching the monster, but pretty good!

DruhinM : Thanks ! :D

Slashee the Cow : I use theme not as an affirmation, but as an accusation : You accuse a human to be the monster. Thanks :)

Good entry! I enjoyed it. It had some annoying things like the screens in between levels, but overall good job! :)

The concept for this game caught my attention and was very unique among the others entries but I think that it didn't do a good job at explaining the rules of the gameplay, also being sent back a level when you accuse the wrong person was very frustrating.

Nice interpretation of the theme. I was surprised that I got so far (level 9) and always found the monster withing a very short time. Sadly the game did hang on level 10, when I (probably) selected the wrong person. The cage didn't not fall down and the music kept playing even after I closed the game (had to kill the java process).

Still, very good game.

Nice idea! Fun too!
It is a hard game but I liked it. Perhaps to make it more mainstream you could add some more hints or animations to remember the people better. Also, the screens between levels are way to slow, I want to play!!
Good use of the theme. Liked the music and sound effects. Graphics were OK, could have been larger perhaps?
Good job!
