It really fits the theme well! I just wish it was a bit more obvious what you had to do; I ended up beating the game fine but at the same time there's not much instruction as to how to lure people outside.

only see a purple null material block at the bottom-right of the screen, and nothing happened after tens of seconds.

Hey A_K_, I added a loading screen to my entry, you might want to check it out again, I think you should be able to run it.

Also, I can't run yours because I am on Linux.

I really enjoyed the theme, the controls felt odd and it wasn't clear what to do, but I really liked the monster and the idea.

I think that it was a really well done game. The environments and the objects were great and the lights, particles and monster all fit into the theme. I got some Hotline Miami feels from this game, and it was definitely interesting. I think the controls were a bit difficult at times, and the attack sound the monster used got really repetitive and overwhelming after a while. For some reason I kept getting stuck on the 3rd (or 4th?) level after I killed everything. I think you did a great job!

I like the concept of being a prowling monster and hunter expecting people.
I kept expecting my character to jump on the people but it jump short a bunch of times. The jump was also getting stuck on geometry.

Peterkirk, hmm, you are right i suppose creature require better jump mechanics for sure. Just hard to balance all stuff in such a short time. :\

Awesome! Felt like a boss when pouncing on unsuspecting victims. Would love to play additional levels with increasing challenge. Great use of the theme. (Added web and OS/X versions of my game which you commented on by the way :))

Of the things not already mentioned, I liked the health indicator being the lights on the monster's back. Uncluttered the UI nicely.

Great game there A_K_! I feel like you captured the theme well, the gameplay was enjoyable, and the ambient soundtrack really sold the atmosphere in this game.

Really enjoyed how you worked out the lights on this one. The health bar incorporated on the beast's body was also creative but eventually i got stuck outside with one lazy guy standing inside the house. What a bummer :p

Like the style of this game. The lights work well to set the atmosphere.

And good idea for the health indicator on the creature, it's an interesting way to do it (even if I didn't noticed it directly on my small laptop screen ^^)

Cool game that fits the theme! Sometimes the very cool movements was a bit hard. Nice graphics, cool sounds and a nice environment!

Great lighting effects. Fun idea - felt great murdering humans. Sometimes I'd pounce and miss, and that didn't feel so great.

Pretty enjoyable, the only thing is some more clear end states/level transitions, and some better sounds wouldn't hurt. But it is a good game

Great first game jam entry! A health bar and transition screens would have been a huge plus but otherwise, great job!

Cool game. I would have liked to try it on a touch screen, because I feel like this control scheme would make more sense like that. Main main gripe with this game is no indication of what the people can and cannot see, which makes this game play more like an action game than a stealth game, which is a shame because it really does feel like it shows potential as a stealth game. Cool game all the same, and with the addition of some way of playing stealthily, I would love to play more of it.

I wish it had keyboard controls. It was hard to click on the people. Very fun! If you make more levels let me know!

I love the audio behind this game. The "Huuh?" makes a perfect "alert" sound which tends to make me turn around and try a different direction. I also love that leaping noise. :D
