The gameplay and level design could've been a little more varied, but the hilarious soundeffects made eating those poor adventurers enjoyable. Music was also pretty good.\r<br\/>Some vertical gameplay for example would've probably made it much better, in the current state of the game the ability to jump is pretty much useless. I imagine avoiding the light by jumping up somewhere and then striking down on adventurers. One small bug I noticed: If you haven't started the game and press Esc on the menu you get into the pause screen. If you continue from there on, you end up in an empty scene.\r<br\/>Overall, I enjoyed this, good job! And props for having an options menu with rebindable keys, something I rarely see in LD games."},{"author_name":"zenmumbler","author_uid":"17143","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 4:43pm","epoch":1440779880,"text":"Gameplay wise there was not much to this and the AI was (as per usual LD standards) herp-derp but I still enjoyed myself because of the ridiculousness of it all and the sounds."},{"author_name":"adsilcott","author_uid":"49637","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 4:47pm","epoch":1440780120,"text":"Fun and simple game."},{"author_name":"bradur","author_uid":"40138","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 5:37pm","epoch":1440783120,"text":"The models &amp; lighting &amp; sound design was spot on!

Controls are cumbersome, though, on my mac book pro.  And the choice of eat really needed to be a keyboard button.  Tried to set that up, but didn't look like the keys took.  Overall, though, I enjoyed your work!

I like the playability, although i am not convinced about the camera control. The music reminds me a jungle or an desert island, another music theme would be more suitable but in overall very well."},{"author_name":"Galan","author_uid":"11241","time":"Aug 29, 2015 @ 3:47pm","epoch":1440862920,"text":"Mmm adventurers. While it was fun slurping them up, I wish the light mechanic was a bit more fully-developed. The hallways were a bit too dark (I had to adjust my monitor in order to see not-black), and it was hard to tell where the light was and wasn't, damage-wise. Would have help if there was some feedback when taking damage."},{"author_name":"NuDawg","author_uid":"55712","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 3:35am","epoch":1440905400,"text":"Lot's of fun, but I could only find 44 out of 50 adventurers, and my monstrous appetite was not satisfied.

It would have been cool to tie in the grue lore a bit more, waiting for an adventurer's lantern to go out or something, but it was a fun dungeon run nonetheless."},{"author_name":"mubox","author_uid":"57193","time":"Sep 4, 2015 @ 9:40pm","epoch":1441402500,"text":"Good graphics. :]"}],"images":["ld33\/25508-49b68b6e3f788919142b438e52e564fe.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download&amp;id=0B0HDpd-u8ilqTE5CZ0pIb09NQWc","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download&amp;id=0B0HDpd-u8ilqNml6ai1NOVotenc","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download&amp;id=0B0HDpd-u8ilqRi1GaWNQWHcwX1E","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9364","g_author":"25508","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"9397","g_title":"Gruesome","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"330","g_commentcount":"20","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\/25508-shot0-1440464327.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You are the Grue!
