Friends and Monsters by Killnaprimer

In this game you must make as many friends as possible, to make a big friendly crowd, but beware:
There are monsters that chase you and your friends!
And if one of those monsters gets to your friend - your friend turns into a monster too! :fearful:
How many friends can you get before monsters get to you?

if there is some audio effect,it could be more interesting.
solid work and have really great art design.
hope more levels and more new gameplays.
It is fun how things get exponentially harder. I liked how monsters switch between wanting to get to the player and (smartly) going for lone 'friends' to increase their monster numbers.
A great use of the theme
Even though the theme is a bit saturated, I can easily see this re-skinned as a zombie survival where you go around trying to save people. And sometimes part of your party 'turns'. :D
Things I would work on to further improve:
- Sound!
- Player movement feels a bit too 'floatty'. I'm curious how more snappy/responsive controls would feel
- Friend movement is also a bit too floatty, but if they were super precise behind you that would ruin the fun... but I would test some different options (I imagine you might have during development)
* Movement of everything that's not the monsters are too floaty. Okay, maybe just the player. That- or your friends are fake friends and they're dragging you down. Nice use of the theme if that's really the case!
* Improvements? Speed-ups, speed-downs, barricades, friends having the ability to fight for you until their dea- what? Different map layout, more monsters, some patterned monsters instead of following ones, getting friends back and a ton of others you can just figure out it's lacking from.
* Please don't make this a zombie game. We have too much of those. Something else that is not a zombie game with zombie-related mechanics is refreshing to see.
I can't say much else from this game, so great job!
Cons of this game for me is TOOOOO slow runnig with a lot of CPU despite of my 4 cores...
Also, I thing this game has a potential. The first one is more interesting purpose than "beat highscores". Also game needs different locations to run. Maybe system to make monsters to friends.
