It's in the trees by games-placeo

[raw]
made by games-placeo for LD33 (COMPO)
A trip to the woods at night, the wind through the trees, the stars in the sky. Sounds peaceful right? Well, it's hardly ideal when you are being hunted down by a demon armed with Kunais and speed.

Controls:
WASD = Movement
Space+WASD = Dash in direction
Left Click = Throw Kunai


How to Play:
Consume characters by dashing through them or steal their soul by hitting them with a throwing kunai. Avoid being hit by the light from their torches though as they will run.

Hah very nice take on stalking, if only getting seen by flashlight would produce some visible and fun results this would be my favorite game yet.

It's fun and I like ninjas :) If you ever improve it add some cool ninja sound effects!

Very interesting mechanic. You should keep going with it.

A pretty good game, fun too.
But i feel the camera and the controls are a bit akward.
You should center the camera on the player, and have some kind of fence or something to indicate the boundaries of the map.

I like the theme of hunting people in the woods, however I think the controls and camera could use some improvement. For your next game, try locking the camera to the player, so you don't have to move to the bottom of the screen to shift the viewpoint.

Fun game. I liked how the flashlights dropped. The controls were fine for me but I wish the character would of stayed in the center of my vision.

I would have loved to have been able to move diagonally and if getting spotted hurt you in some way.

Good. Frame scroling need more polishing, but overall it's cool.

Concept could be cool if it was a little bit more developed, camera feels funny, otherwise it's fun

Aside from getting stuck on the side screen, and tat having any key pushed keeps you going, the game controls alright.
The fact that the torches stay is really interesting!

Fun little game. Simple with good controls. Could've used the full screen button.

I like the dashing but most of all I like the picture of deer :D I get 500 score with "0 minutes and 1 second", so I think the timer doesn't work as it should.

Pretty fun. The movement was a bit annoying since you couldn't move diagonally and the movement near to the borders was rubberband-y. Otherwise a fine game.

Fun 2d-run-around-and-kill-things-by-shooting game. The torches are a good effect although didn't feel very monster like.
