Nothing But Hunger by tic

[raw]
made by tic for Ludum Dare 45 (COMPO)

Description

You are a monster. You are very hungry. Everything looks tasty. Eat everything on your path ! Some enemies excite your hunger. Devour them as fast as possible.

The theme was Start with nothing. You start with your belly so very empty. You win when you are finally not hungry anymore.

The game is hosted on itch.io. You can also find the linux and windows unity executables on the itch.io page.

Controls

WASD or arrow keys to move around. R to restart if you are in a hurry. Esc to go back to the menu.

In the menu, Esc to quit and Enter to Start if you don't want to use the mouse.

Tools && Wrapup

This was my first time using Unity so I had to learn everything while jamming. I used Gimp for the graphisms and Audacity for the only sound I added.

Edit

BugFix 1: Added the J key to activate the consume ability. This makes it possible for player with no mouse to play. (right click with the mouse isn't easy with a touchpad :( )

Hey congrats on submitting an entry! Interesting concept for the theme. I was a little confused about you why need to right-click? I would have assumed that just running into the enemies increases your hunger. There's a lot of potential here to add new enemies and improve the artwork (especially the backgrounds e.g. different biomes). Nice work.

Controls were solid but i hink hunger-meter is running out pretty quick. It could be more slow in my opinion. Some sprites were funny. Other than that it's cool entry.

Satisfied!I don't know why my hunger speed is increasing, but eventually I eat them without thinking too much!Good job.

@scott-redrup In fact you can just run into them. I should rename the ability Leep / Jump or something.

Thanks for the feedback ! :)

So satiated! Enjoyed the movement, would be cool to have a key on the keyboard to consume as the mouse isnt used for anything else during gameplay. Maybe a wider playfield? i felt trapped. view proportions where good though but i wandered off into the abyss and it was a bit sad haha

Definitely a tough game. The hungriest monster out there! Well done.

We had a lot of fun playing this one!! Liked the fact that the scrolling changes directions.
The 'eat' sound could be a little more percussive ;-)

@kekkodude: Added the J key to consume. I also had a friend with only touchpad on his laptop and that made the game really harder.

So I found that if I spam right click the monster gets bigger and bigger until it covers the whole screen and just automatically eats everything and I win without having to do anything! :)

Still, good job learning unity and finishing the game :D

Damn @barrier, Forgot some parenthesis while adding the J key and ended up with that exploit... Thanks for reporting, I fixed that :D
