The Void Beast by Nichii

[raw]
made by Nichii for LD33 (JAM)
You are a void beast, consuming humans to gain power. You despise life, humans in particular. No one knows what you are, no one knows what you want. You do not seem to care and have probably forgotten about it long ago.

The village knows you are here, you have killed so many. Now they’re trying to run. Being the cold hearted monster, you intercept them and make sure you harvest their very flesh for your own benefits.

Kill KILL KILL!

Play as a monster with 4 abilities to kill people. You are weak to light so avoid their lamps. Upgrade your abilities as you consume more people.

Replayable!

4 different difficulties, 1 unlocked after beating hard mode!

Try out different builds as you play!

Fight through a maze of unsuspecting humans as you pick them off one by one.

I'm not a Dota fan myself, but seeing this Dota-like gameplay, I guess it can be quite addictive at times. The pictures need to be bigger, though it looks nice.

Great work but way too hard.
I have the feeling that you have to grind perfectly through this to make it :D

It doen't look very nice, but plays beautifully. I enjoyed playing it. Too bad people can hear you, so there was no point in sneaking behind them.

This game proves as a cool concept. I'd consider working on this further as I can see great potential in something like this in terms of gameplay. Great work!

1st Thought:
"Only 100 mana? God I hope I can level....Oh thank god, I can level."

Pros:
I like the whole idea of killing the village while they flee through the caverns. I really love having to use the terrain to ambush them.
The abilities were nice.

Cons:
Art was a bit lack luster.
Music would have made this amazing.

Overall:
I really like the idea, and would love to see this further in development.

Works really well, would have liked more variety in enemies (and maybe less of them). ^^

I really wish there was a minimap and a way to sneak behind the humans undetected without turning invisible. Except that, very nice game.

It lacks dynamic gameplay. And enemies shouldn't be able to track the player when they can't see him
