Monstaaaaar!
ILIKESCIFI Games

- Use your MOUSE to shovel (draw) floors for your Monstaaar!
- Find your way to the yummy, tasty mushroom in each stage!
- But be careful! There is (of course) a time limit!
- Click on the BUTTON "Monstaaaar run!" on the bottom of the screen to start the Monster!

Versions: Windows & Mac
(I could not test the Mac version - I really hope it works!)

Info: Some gfx & sfx are from an older project.

Happy Monstaaaaaaring!

Or the guy who draws levels so the monster can eat all yummy, yummy mushroom...?
Well of course it´s the guy... no... wait... it´s the monster...yes... the mosnter!"

It just opens up and says "File Error" on windows 7 64 bit.

I really enjoyed this, the art is brilliant, the music fits really nicely, a little more variety in gameplay would have been nice but I guess that's what happens when you only have so much time.

I can't overstate how much I liked the audio and graphics.

Slightly hard to figure out how to make the monster walk,
(I ended up just spam clicking around him and that usually worked) might have just been a bug for me.

Great graphics, it's nice to play a game where the goal isn't about killing people when you're the monster :P

It took me a little bit to figure out how to play this game. I quickly figured out clicking the mouse did something, but I couldn't figure out how to move the monstaaaaar... until he ran off the cliff and got killed by an angry mob. 8/10, would jump off cliff again

IGN mocking aside, I liked the music and how the game flowed. The concept was pretty simple, but it worked out I wanted to know more about the monstaaaaar.... why did he like mushrooms so much? Did the angry mob just want to destroy him because he was eating their mushroom crop? Does he have a monstaaaaar wife? The possibilities are endless :)

Great work! Simple and easy to play, plus the 50s monster movie theme was well done.

I really liked this. I wish there were more levels! Great graphics, very interesting design and game play. Super unique. I only wish that there was a button to make the monster go before the timer ended.

Very cool, like Lemmings meets Canabalt. I liked the portal mechanic, definitely has promise.

Worked fine in Arch Linux WINE. Didn't hear any audio, though.

I didn't realize at first that the monster would run automatically when the timer ran out.

Really nice. Loved the portal cameo

Solid entry. Love the gameplay concept, only thing I'd work on a bit more is controls - sometimes the cursor just skips some tiles when you're drawing fast. Didn't reflect it in the scores of course, but, imo, a game with a time limit should respond good enough on high speeds. Everything else is really nice though, great job guys.

Nice idea and execution, loved every single aspect of it, yet the music. I would have gone for something less upbeat and more tropical.

A little too easy but I think if it were given more time for development it could be very cool. Audio and graphics are nice.

This game was a little short. The focus seemed to be more on the art than the overall mechanics and game play.

It was a solid game but would have loved it to be longer.

Thx everyone here. I will be away for a couple of days now. But LD#33 was really, really fun! @pixelgriffin: Click on the BUTTON "Monstaaaar run!" on the bottom of the screen to start the Monster!

Very interesting concept, a little bit of Kirby and Pipe Mania. Loved the music and gameplay once I got the hang of it. You should keep working on it, I want MOOOOAAAR levels!

Norton hates this and won't let me play, sorry.

Reminds me a bit of my own game in concept, but I love your execution. Plus, it runs really well :-)

Love the premise, and like everyone else I find the art and music perfect. I wish you'd had time for some more elaborate puzzles to keep me going.

Nice graphics, cool music and good concept. I wish there were more levels but I am also wondering how the game mechanics can offer some challenge and variety. A good game with lot of potential.

I really loved the concept, I'd like to see more levels :P And I'd take off the controls from the cursor keys, that's a bit misleading. :) It took me a while to realize that I should wait for the timer.

Very nice! I really liked the concept or defining the path for the monster, plus the graphics and music and the humorous touches.

Great job! :)

Hey everyone! Thx so far for your comments & input! When the judgeing time is over i will try to create MOAAAAR levels for you. (Now it would distort the LudumDare thought, so I will wait one more week)
