Squatch by patvanmackelberg
Squatch!
You play as a friendly Sasquatch - You long for friends, and food, and friends, and food -- A large list for such a simple being. Make your way to the Village to the South-East and find what you need! Be sure to eat any treats you find on the ground!

This game was developed using the software "Game Maker: Studio" under the professional license. Game Maker: Studio is free, and you can open up my source on a windows platform with it.
The actual 48 Hour Deadline wasn't too hard do deal with I found - This is my second 48 hour jam, the first being a Game Maker specific Jam (http://www.gm48.net/?page=game&id=50)
- Hiccups -
There weren't too many bumps in the road, I had a resolution problem when scaling my game up to get the right view - with lines across the screen and such but I solved that by changing the scale, letting the player see a bit more.
- Learned Something New -
I learned how to make sound effects using my microphone and the program Audacity - I made a whole font, you'll see it, you'll realize that I made it right away!
Thanks for looking at my game - hope you find it... satisfying :D

The sound effects were cool but the dee sound got annoying after a while. Then I died :(. I make a horrible squatch I think.
Making friends had a really satisfying feel to it.
The mechanic of throwing rocks to attract npcs was interesting.
(Glad you liked my game btw :) )
Interesting gameplay and great use of the theme.
The dialogs could have better information, I didn't understand in the beginning which "tree" could have food (I thought it was in the forest)
Great job
and then I died, multiple times!
It was quite fun! great particles and sound! Didn't use the camouflage nor the shiny stone though... it was just easier to run around the town ^^;
