Shadows and Cats by MoreRPG Team

[raw]
made by MoreRPG Team for LD33 (JAM)
You are a hungry shadow and your goal is to eat all the people in town!

- People afraid of you and run at the first sight of you, so it's best to keep to the shadows.

- You are quite a cunning shadow and can use various traps to attract unsuspecting people.

- Beware of black cats who are not afraid of you and waiting for you in the shadows.

Controls:
Movement – WASD, arrows
Eat - hold Spacebar
Use a trap – Q & E



Our team members:
Anna Sviridenko - art
Daria Paramonova - programming
Vladimir Gaidenko - game & sound design

We know that the game has a lot of bugs, and will fix them after a while! =)

That was pretty cool. It's a nice concept that has some good potential. Love the sounds on the cats.

Didn't like it. Everything felt too sketchy since the models until the gameplay itself. Only the buildings got my attention.

I was really big and already ate everyone. How can I win?
The iphone and the kittens are nice idea :)

There are 100 people, and you have to eat all of them to win. But yes, it becomes difficult to find them later in the game. We will try to improve on that in the post-jam version.

Interesting concept. Found a massive cluster of people all in a circle and ate them all at once and went FLYING!

...outside the level bounds :)

Laughed out loud, for real. The sound effect just had me laughing. The mechanics started to fall apart later in the game, but up until that point I was having fun.

Really sweet art! I think that I ate all the people in the town, but nothing happened, just grew really big. Is this normal? Some of the people clipped through buildings, so maybe I did miss somebody?

Yeah, we've got some problems with the collisions and it may be possible for some of the people to go through the walls and thereafter make it impossible to complete the game. We will address this issue in the post-jam version. =)

Don't know why it launches you upward when you eat people (a bug perhaps?) but this is a brilliant concept and I absolutely loved the use of audio especially with the crowd screaming. Also that free iPhone trap made me laugh a bit :)

Really nicely done, it's fun and the idea would be nice to have it as a full game.

Enjoyed how surreal this was.

Only managed to get up to about 53 or so before I couldn't find any more people on the level.

Had a little trouble with the web-player version being bigger than the window it was played in, but managed to play in the end. Like the idea, the screaming sound effect got annoying after a while but I did literally laugh out loud the first time I used a kitty to draw people in.

This game has some nice twists that put it ahead of most of the eat everyone entries in this LD. Great work!

I would recommend some kind of visual feedback while charging as I initially didn't know what I was doing wrong, but it simply turned out I did not press space long enough.

The limited palette & shaders look great.

I "eated" 85 people; I suspect the rest flew out of the level... can't say I blame them. :P

- graphics look kind of cool, i like the tilt shift effect
- hiding in the shadows is kind of fun
- feels like i need something to attack me
- it's a bit too easy, i feel like there's no threat from anything
- i ate like 80 people and now i can't find anymore

I like the fact that the people actually talk, even if I don't understand what they're talking about. Though I would like a lose condition to balance the game out.

Growing larger was a nice touch, kept me interested. I "eated" 78 peeps, then it seems to break. I also found a few big clusters of peoples spinning, bit of a bug yet it was fun to eat them all in one go :D
