It's incredibly glitchy and very confusing, why does my bull keep going backwards? Why is my bird so jittery when it flies? Why did I die randomly during\/before the hills stage (I seriously don't know what's killing me at all.) The camera doesn't keep up with the character and I just generally feel slow and not in control.\r\rThe graphics are nice, though, and the monster design for the bull and general scenery was creative and colorful. The village, however, looked awkward.\r\rOverall, it's a nice idea and a good first attempt, and I hope to see more from you in the future!"},{"author_name":"Vladirien","author_uid":"55967","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 7:27pm","epoch":1440530520,"text":"The graphics and the music are great but it feels light on the gameplay side"},{"author_name":"CorgiCommander","author_uid":"23642","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 12:41am","epoch":1440549360,"text":"My biggest criticism is that I got killed right at beginning of the level by a bull after waiting 20 seconds for the camera to focus on me, and then each time you die, I had to wait for the camera again. \r\rOn the plus side, the graphics are pretty nice."},{"author_name":"MrMordem","author_uid":"37532","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 11:10am","epoch":1440587100,"text":"Good game, i like the whole take control of various monsters concept, music and graphics are really good, will surely be great with more content :) \r\rI had a crash in the village when i was using one of the brown dashing monsters and had this when i ran into a villager :\r\rFATAL ERROR in\raction number 1\rof Step Event0\rfor object obj_demonrammer:\r\rPush :: Execution Error - Variable Get 100168.hp(100022, -2147483648)\rat gml_Object_obj_demonrammer_Step_0"},{"author_name":"Sparrow","author_uid":"7423","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 2:05pm","epoch":1440597600,"text":"Good concept, too bad you couldn't finish in time.\rHad the same error as MrMordem."},{"author_name":"RougeRogue","author_uid":"43866","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 5:49pm","epoch":1440611040,"text":"I've noticed the complaints about the camera and remembered I forgot to mention that you can press the T button to skip that whole sequence.

Anyway, here it is. It's a sandbox game where you can control monsters who all have different abilities. \r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\n-You can choose a level when you're near the blob king with the space key and cycle through levels using the W and D keys. \r\n-A and D to move\r\n-Space to control\/exit a monster\r\n-W to use ability (when controlling a monster)\r\n-Escape to exit the level\r\n-T button during level preview sequences at the beginning of Hills and village\r\n\r\nCreatures:\r\n\r\nBatmon\/Birdmon:\r\n\r\nSmall bat\/bird-like creatures with one eye. They show no signs of hostility and neither does anything else to them. Their ability allows them to toggle between flying and walking and thus allow them to avoid any obstacles in the way. They can sometimes be found inside certain crates.\r\n\r\nDemonrammer:\r\n\r\nBull-like creatures with ram horns and other devilish parts. They are hostile to the player and humans and will ram them if they see them although ramming a human will cost them some hp while doing the same to the humans. Being attacked by one of these will mean instant death, so it's vital to remain hidden\/be in control of a monster around them. You can hide behind certain objects to avoid being seen by them. They have a total of 10 hp and have the ability to dash to cross gaps, break crates, or inflict damage onto humans. Ramming into another demonrammer will cause it to get knocked back.\r\n\r\nHumangobbler:\r\n\r\nLarge yellow sludgy creature. Despite its name, the Humangobbler actually shows no hostility toward any other than the player; however, it can consume humans and dead demonrammers and attack living demonrammers while chasing the player. Their ability is to eat which can damage living demonrammers and eat humans and dead demonrammers. They have a total of 20 hp.\r\n\r\nHuman:\r\n\r\nUnlike other creatures, a human cannot be controlled. The knight variation has a total of 5 hp and will range attack any monsters including the player while running. The citizen also has 5 hp but will not do anything other than standing in place.","title":"Blob"}
