AlienScare by Eleneas

[raw]
made by Eleneas for LD33 (JAM)
You are an Alien from outerspace. During an otherwise regular travel you happen to accidental press some wrong controllbuttons causing your spaceship to have operational errors. So you are forced to emergency land on an nearby planet. There you see that the malfunction caused the consumption of all the energy that was stored in your ship. As you look around for help you find some humans but they cant understand you and get scared if they see you. You notice that their fear is a powerful enegry resource. That may be your only way out from this planet ... So you decide to collect as much fear-energy as you can to power up your engines and hopefully escape from that planet. But be aware, you heard some rumors that it is "Alienbusters" Hunting season ...
__________________________
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Your goal is to scare people, the nearer you get the more the will get scared (look at your fear points). After a while the villagers will call the "Alienbusters" for assisstence. They will start planting traps on the ground to stun you. After they arrived they will continuely hunt you down, you can recognize them through the masks they wear (the one wears a gas mask and the other one a medical mask). If you can scare all villagers before they got you you have won :)
__________________________
Note: we are planning to further develope the game. Currently there are some Bugs in e.g. the UI and we know about that and are working to solve them ...
It will take some time to do the updates but you will eventually find notes about them on our webiste.

The graphics all look really good but the intro cutscene doesn't fit well with the rest of the game. I think you would have went in a more cartoony route with the game it would have fit better and made the mood a little better. Overall nice work.

The intro to the game was pretty funny. I ran in front of people for a while, and then I suddenly ended with a game over - so I don't really think I got it. Good effort, well done.

The intro was fabulous! But then we switched to 3d, with prefab models.
If you had kept your intro style up it would have suited the game better. :)

Great intro!
Gameplay works really well too!
Did you make the 3d art? If not please opt out Graphics category ;-)

Keep up the good work!

Hey, not bad - would have loved if the in-game art style could have matched that of the cut scene though!

The web version just returns an error.

This is a cool game, but there isn't any explanation in game, which is confusing.

I love the intro!

I really liked the game, I found the concept and style of gameplay really innovative and I really enjoyed scaring of the villagers. It suited the theme perfectly and in an interesting way. I really liked the graphics but the cutscene (as good as it was) didn't really suit the rest of the game also the game overscreen was just like an image layered over the screen (you can still move around and at the edges of the screen you can see the game and that you can move it)I loved the playful music but the game could have down with some sound effects (footsteps, maybe villager's screaming? etc, the cutscene and the concept was really funny and the music was so good it set a good mood, overall very good job so well done!

I really loved the intro movie and the 3d part is also very visually pleasing. However, they don't really work together well (i think you should have stuck with one or the other). Anyway, i had quite some fun playing the game ;)

The graphics were cool. Especially the intro was awesome. During gameplay sound effects would really have improved the feeling. Some screams from the villagers or something like that. Also I think the soundtrack did not perfectly fit the mood of the game. It was a great tune, but in my opinion something more comic-style like could have captured the mood of the intro.
Apart from that great entry.

Nice graphics, especially the intro.
Not easy to control. Mouse is over sensitive.

Excellent intro and I was hoping the rest of the game would follow that style. I liked the alien but the mouse control was super super sensitive. Where was the in-game sound?

The switch to 3D was a bit jarring - I LOVED the 2D style :) As others have mentioned the mouse sensitivity was a little high still but overall an impressive entry!
