NOTE: THE GAME MAY NOT LAUNCH FOR YOU. IF THIS HAPPENS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE RUNNING THE LATEST VERSION OF JAVA 8. IF YOU CAN'T UPDATE JAVA FOR SOME REASON, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE SECOND JAR FILE, WHICH REMOVES THE PROBLEMATIC AUDIO CODE.

Tools Used:
IntelliJ IDEA 14
Audacity
GIMP
GarageBand's loops

About:
You are a monster who has been instructed to
go into a spoiled child's house and scare him or her.
Being spoiled, the child has hired guards to catch
scary monsters. Your goal is to navigate and search
the house for the child sleeping in their bed,
while avoiding guards.

Controls:
WASD or arrow keys to move
E to use monster's ability
M to toggle music

Tips:
- The guards don't like monsters, but the dislike being
fired more. They wont stray far from their post.
- The guards can't see well in the dark. Use it to your
advantage


P.S. I know it's a stupid name, I just couldn't think of anything.

Too hard, too complex but I liked the music.

I really like this game. It appears that it is possible for someone to make a fun, functional game that actually follows the theme. Good music, and the voices were actually pretty funny. A simple and fun game.

Pretty hard!
A tutorial house would be a possibility to learn the game. Congrats for your entry!

We have had the same game idea. :-) Please check out our entry!

The music is pretty jammin', bro! Did both levels, and tried both monsters. I think it's just the right amount of challenging, where it's not so easy to win that it's boring, but requires enough effort and investment to make the win much more satisfying when you finally pull it off--even if it's just a "rawr" at the end! The unenthusiastic audio clips added some humor to the game, haha. Nice job!

I found it was a lot easier to put the window size at something crazy like 1600 and the window scale at 1. Of course, then it kinda seems like cheating because it was a lot easier to know where to go to avoid the guards.

The invisibility ability of Chair (love the name, btw) is vastly superior to the speed ability of Hareeny. I found the increased speed just made me more likely to accidentally run into a guard.

Nice entry, you got a lot done in 48 hours!
