The controls were difficult (I kept overshooting where I wanted to point).  You may want to consider giving the shots a shorter lifespan.  I was able to sit back and snipe off a lot of the villagers without putting myself in any danger.  Well done!"},{"author_name":"cudabear","author_uid":"25773","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:37am","epoch":1440469920,"text":"Unfortunately this game isn't very engaging, because the combat is pretty dull.  I have no reason not to hold down Z and X the whole time and just run around in circles.  Did you mean to deploy with the character having 500 health?  It seems like healing\/getting hit only takes 5-10 health whereas 500 makes me feel invincible.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Your interpretation of the theme works well.  The graphics are simple but in a stylized way, so they fit as well.  Audio works well for the game even if you didn't make it."},{"author_name":"TsN_RaMPaGE","author_uid":"57369","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 12:14am","epoch":1440547740,"text":"Enjoyed the little story to it :) Good work!"},{"author_name":"Grahhhhh","author_uid":"51802","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 3:01am","epoch":1440557760,"text":"I really am the monster.  I started the game, yelled obscenities at my computer directed at grumble, only to be acurately defined at the end, nice work!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game itself was a little weighted, I never felt fear of losing, and the last stage was the easiest since I had time to target the enemies since the level was vast.

I agree with the other comment that the player should probably have more like 50 HP. Though story-wise it shows you to be a true monster who is just killing hapless cylinder-sphere people, as a game having some tension is better. AI in LD games is hard to do, but even a simple but more aggressive run-towards-player-while-shooting tactic would have made it scarier. Still, a full setup from beginning to end. Well done."},{"author_name":"crucknuk","author_uid":"53686","time":"Sep 12, 2015 @ 10:53pm","epoch":1442098080,"text":"I finished the game and i liked the twisted ending :)\r<br\/>well of course it was a bit disengaging to go that far but it was nice, i liked it in the way it was meant to be played.\r<br\/>Anyway keep up the good work :)"},{"author_name":"General","author_uid":"16507","time":"Sep 14, 2015 @ 8:27am","epoch":1442218920,"text":"Yes, I am a monster :) Good story, the one downside which I encounter in many 3d-games is that it's difficult to aim prperly due to the camera location.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Please, check the video of me playing: https:\/\/youtu.be\/BtVCl5-xRYo"}],"images":["ld33\/55312-b74355e532ff3b1594bcdde1d4a5d353.jpg","ld33\/55312-222197e727f6c28d85db1d949b1b6052.jpg","ld33\/55312-ecbfe2e5c736e2a6312fdc739b709eac.jpg","ld33\/55312-d420a2414cc2c686ad9ae94f356e4da7.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\/games\/jcourt\/bumbles-quest","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9041","g_author":"55312","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"9074","g_title":"Bumble's Quest","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"961","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/55312-shot0-1440461896.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/55312-shot1-1440461896.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/55312-shot2-1440461896.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/55312-shot3-1440461896.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Bumble's Snail has been stolen, and he has to get it back.
