Island Terror by TooMuchPete

[raw]
made by TooMuchPete for LD33 (COMPO)
NOTE: I recently fixed an issue with the Windows and Linux builds lacking the _data folder, it should work now.

In this game you are the monster, in the most obvious and literal way possible. Stave off hunger by eating islanders who are just trying to go about their business.

If you go too long between meals, you'll starve to death, but the island's cities will try to prevent you from eating their citizens by keeping them at home when you're on the loose!

Arrow keys a bit mixed up (i.e. up and down)

Pretty cool, it worked well.

Would be great to have some kind of goal, like eating a 100 villagers.

Fun idea, it's quite difficult to control the monster

The Data folder is missing from the Windows download, making it impossible to play. The web version worked fortunately enough.

Generally the game gets repetitive pretty quick. This could be fixed by adding additional elements to the game such as enemies for the monster, such as villagers with spears, change of environment by having villagers build things for you to destroy and so forth.

Additionally it would be nice if you could attack the villages themselves in order to destroy them completely. That would also provide for some form of a goal, instead of just trying to chase villagers for as long as possible.

The graphics are fine, though it is a bit strange that the monster and terrain has nicely textured sprites, while the villagers and villages themselves remain mere circles.

Nicely done, I found it hard to figure out which side is facing forward but it was fun running around eating people. Yum!

Usually people don't like tank controls, but I think they worked well here, it made for nice fluid movement.

I really liked the mechanic where villagers who spot you warn the village. It was a fun but challenging game. Nicely done!

Pretty solid entry. I liked the idea of the terror meter preventing islanders leaving the safe confines of their village.

I felt lost at times in terms of an objective. That being said it was a good game.
