That's a hard one. Love the music and atmosphere.

Awesome game!

Jako vždy, výborná hra! Velmi zajímavý koncept, těžké ovládání, krásná stylizace a ještě lepší hudební podmaz. No pecka, dávám 5/5!

Good gameplay. Nice graphics. :D

The trip must have been a great idea, I love everything about this game.

5 monster / 5
great! brilliant and exelent polish game with a nice mood!
i have no words, best game what i have see on this ld ;)

The best game I've seen so far!

Reminds me of Limbo. It's like a beautiful version of QWOP.

This was a good entry! I loved the graphics. Simple yet effective. The audio was also great and added so much to the excellent atmosphere. The implementation of the theme was quite creative with you literally controlling a M-O-N-S-T-E-R.
However, that is a double edged sword as those lettershave almost no relation to one another which made for really akward control. Overall, a good entry cut just a little short by the theme.

Awesome!

Interesting.

Very excentric game , but great idea :) and the graphics look like limbo :)

This is one fantastic game. Really Innovative, Graphics were pleasing. Most solid game I've seen so far

amazing idea for gameplay, simple yet effective

Although a borrowed aesthetic, the look and feel of the game are really well done.

I like the game mechanic, its simple and too the point.

Good job

Cool game, hard to control but really cool!

Wow. Awesome. Very uniqye, awesome mood. Good mechanics and really well made.

Inspiring work, demonstrated at least for me what kind of sweet sounds you can put together in such a short time.

The movement scheme is alien and a nice.

The art side of the environment is a trick I wouldn't know how to do. Sets the mood to require no words to be engaging.

Gives me vibes of Limbo. The physics were fun and smooth and I love this! You should continue with this, and make a full game :D

WTF seven hours? This looks and plays better than most top end Jam entries. Amazing concept too. I'm almost a little suspicious.

Managed it, but woof those controls :p It's a neat idea, and the visuals're very Limbo, but was a little too QWOP-y on the controls :p

Brilliant idea

Great game! Very good job, well done.

I love this idea so much! And so much polish in just 7 hours ... congrats on such a well made gem!

Really pretty game and the idea is very original. The monster is really cute, very simple but I love the animation in the eye

Fantastic!! love the game. want a full version on steam!! just awesome

I really enjoyed it! I didn't understand first what the characters mean(I'm stupid). The stage design was also fascinating, and the place where I slip was novel and good in particular.

I love it, really fun! Can't believe you did it in 7 hours

kinky to learn, hard to master! :) nice game. First I had problems getting it moving because I tried all the time the alphabets under the eye doh! :D

I enjoyed the game! The graphics and audio were really nice. I think it would be cool if the world was one big level instead of multiple small ones though

Clever idea. Brilliant quality execution as always. I'm a terrible typer and not a touch typer at all. Got stuck on the last level where I assume I needed a good bit of momentum to get over that hump. Fantastic for 7 hours. You're a beast.

Game corresponds to theme! Awesome atmosfhere and graphic.

Really good, it was satisfying to pass the final level.

Great game, amazing for such a short time!

Damn... this is pretty slick for the compo. Great game, innovative controls. I got stuck on the seesaw level then frustration got to me. I found the letter sequence a bit odd, didnt quite seem to roll fluidly on the keyboard, but perhaps thats just my lack of time playing.

Great game, definitely worth developing further.

A gem. Wonderful game. Music and SFX brilliant, arts exquisite. I would develop this further, could be a winner. Difficult to master in terms of control but that's ok :)

Wonderfull game. A bit too hard and missing a point. But never the less, I had a great time with the game. Good Job.

Awesome entry, especially considering the insanely tight time constraints you had. The idea is quite original and the level of polish is really high. Congratulations!

Very nice game! Well done!

Great game :) If had to find a single default, it would be that most of the time we have to spell M.O.N.S.T.E.R backward. But a very valuable entry anyway.

Even tough i hated the controls at first: it is a great game. The controls are innovative and the art style is truly beautiful. But i didnot have the patience for trying the 7th level over and over again, so i didnt finsih it.

Very creative. I could play this for hours! The music and setting are all very well done. Congratulations!

The art is very beautiful!

Really pretty and very innovative!

Oh god I couldn't put this down! Amazing! The control scheme was tricky, but I got over it. It has a fun QWOP for monsters vibe.:P

what an awesome game this was, loved the graphics, and the mechanics. it was hard understanding but it was really good and i enjoyed it a lot, congrats!

What an amazing game for only 7 hours of work. Love the piano that plays throughout the game, really set the mood.

Absolutely loved it! Great mechanics, great graphics, nice audio. The best game I've seen in this LD so far.

Wow. Excellent game. Super interesting puzzle/puzzle-platformer game mechanic.

Graphics, music, and mood are spot-on, but the QWOP-ish controls are more frustrating than fun. The part where you have to go down the pit was good, but otherwise I felt like I was fighting against the controls more than I was against the environment.

The concept is not really something new as well as the background, but, nevertheless, it was an interesting idea to adopt those mechanics to this theme, creating an hard and artistic game that surely mesmerizes the expert players. 8/10

Amazing! I wanted to keep playing it. But even the short amount of levels you have is awesome considering the short time span you had.
The game is innovative; fun; a hybrid of QWOP and Limbo; and still manages to incorporate the theme. Love it :)

I actually rather enjoyed this! A bit frustrating, but I supposed that's the point.

QWOP but with MONSTER, very original.

7 hours? Goddamn, this looks like it took a week or something!

As usual, you created something great with a pretty mood and a beautiful aesthetic. The physics are interesting and the gameplay really pleasant. Each LD session, I wait your work because for me you are one of the best - a real artist. Thank you for this entry ++

Incredible, especially for 7 hours. The monster is cute and the game looks and sounds great.

very cooool! I enjoy it!

Wonderful game, top 5 for sure ! Controls are very solid, and music really serves the game !

I noticed you used the same sound as me for the rain, some are asking for my game if it's ok regarding rules for compo, what is your opinion on this ? Thank you !

Implemented in 7 hours? WOW. I could play this all day and then I'd want more!

Nice atmosphere, but but the commands MONSTER are a little bit difficult/frustrating. Might have been better with QWERTYUIOP or maybe some mouse control.

Gave up at the level with the swing, too much frustrating.

Impressive work for a 7-hours project!

The atmosphere reminds me of World of Goo! This is a super-polished game.

Super hra, výborný nápad, atmosféra by se dala krájet. Dávám 5/5.

Great job! Very interesting gameplay. That last level was tough! This game gets a billion peppers out of a pepper.

This game is brilliant, the concept is fantastic, the atmosphere created by the music and graphics are just wonderful. You have done a seriously excellent job with this one.

I can appreciate the idea, but unfortunately the execution was a bit lacking. The monster doesn't really inflate enough to push off the ground enough to turn itself, so just moving becomes an agonising chore. The keys while thematic, have little relation to each other and ultimately make things harder than they need to be. Beautiful graphics and great music, but in the end it was more frustrating than fun.

How the heck was something so polished done in just 7 hours? Even for the full 48 hours this would have been extremely impressive. That baffles me, honestly.

The mechanics work fairly well, and once I got the ball rolling (ha) with the controls it wasn't actually too hard to navigate. I found that if you enlarged the upper corner of the direction you wanted to go you could actually gain some pretty decent speed.

The "monster" key controls is an interesting move to try and match the theme, but sadly it just felt really unintuitive to me. In some ways that difficulty of mapping strange keys to movement directions is interesting, but it's also fairly frustrating knowing that if they were mapped differently it would have made for potentially more enjoyable gameplay.

That said, the organic nature of the monster creature was stellar to play around with. I loved everything about the movement. My favorite part is the level 5 area where you slide down between the cramped walls.

The art, audio, and general ambiance is spot on. I mean just really, really good, even without considering the time constraints.

W0w, what a cool idea, and so well executed! The last level was a little tiresome, but other than that I think the difficulty curve was really nicely planned out and and the pace of the game really matches the atmosphere, and vice versa. Now I want a custom controller for this game, shaped like the monster! :D
I really love the mood in this game, nice work!

Great game, had a number of intersting moments. Probably would have prefered keys that were in the same circle on my keyboard like D R T H B V C because moving my fingers around in random patterns distracts from enjoying the game.

Great game. Good job.

Love the music, love the Limbo-like atmosphere. The controls are really innovative :)

We'll join to all the praise comments and say that this is an awesome game! =)

7 hours whuuuuuuut!? That's amazing, and so is this game. Tough but satisfying to figure out.

Fantastic game, great concept ! It deserves to be even more developed I think

It looks and sounds amazing, but it was impossible to play! Took me ages to get to level 2, then I just gave up.
If only you could have picked easier keys like QWERTY

This one is really nice ! From game mechanics, to atmosphere and music.

Awesome ! I have nothing else to say excet that going down the pipe was hard and climbing at the end of the last level harder.

Amazing game, the atmosphere is very good, and the graphics very smooth, the gameplay is very original, little confusing but very original, i love it, really good job, please add more levels and more gameplay

Love this game!

I started feeling claustrophobic trying to go through the hole :|

tricky one. If you had done the goals only to the left it would be easier to move, because is just type "monster" letters in order.

Beautiful! Amazing atmosphere, music, gameplay, everything. I enjoyed the puzzling controls.

The last level was quite a challenge, I ended up going too fast and falling out of the world! (no issue though thanks to the reset button, the game also has a great interface)

Limbo meets Incredipede :-)
Solid one! No need to use all these letters, 3 keys are suffice to roll. It's not necessary to brand him with the word, he is already a monster :-)

Wow this was great! Beautiful aesthetic, music, and mood, and the gameplay was challenging and engaging enough to make me stick through it until the end. Loved it! Also, it's especially impressive considering you did it in 7 hours.

-Z

Love the mood!

This is AWESOME! I love the mechanics and puzzle possibilities. Please develop this further. Animations are great and the control innovation is spectacular. Great job!

This game is beautiful. Very difficult because I'm bad at typing ;)

I love that Limbo like design :D

I really liked this game. The controls are a bit strange, but I can get used to it and enjoy the game. It is very good especially considering the amount of time you spent on it. (It occurred so, that I had only about 7 hours in total in this LD too, but your game is much, much better than mine.. congrats)

Awesome idea! Love it)

Very impressive especially in 7 hours! I was having trouble trying to push the monster until I realized inflating the front part to pull down worked much better. Great mood with the audio and art!

Really difficult, but I absolutely love the graphics, atmosphere, and audio. Reminds of me the Triachnid game by Edmund McMillen.

I love this never seen before gameplay and the polish of your game !
Graphics are simple but work well ; the mood is great too !

Love the atmosphere of this one. Attach some puzzle elements to this and it could be a really fun game. The graphics and sound are lovely and the "moster" has a nice squishy feel. Well done for only 7 hours of work!

This is so creative and beautiful...and difficult! Love it!

Hard to control, but great idea and mood.

See saw level was difficult! But I great idea, can't believe this was done in 7 hours!

Excellent work! 5 stars from me are very rare event... But you deserve it! Relly like the game idea, game mechanic, art, music, EVERYTHING! Awesome one! It will be unreal good if you'll made new levels fro this game. Seriosly, it's have potential. Not with "MOSNTER" keys, but with more frienfly controls it can be very good game =)

Wow!!
Wow!!
Wow!!
Wow!!
Wow!!
Wow!!

I love it all over my own life!! XD
Difficult to go upstairs an over the triangles, but the feeling is...wow!

It's a very very good work!!!

This mechanic is really cool, the game sets a great tone, and the music complements it well.
Awesome game :D

Putting controls on MONSTER was verry clever, but i would have found it easier on my fingers if it were
arrows/WSAD

Very cool game! I like the way you control monster. It's very hard, but music helps you calm down. I hope you will make something more out of this entry - more levels, more obstacles, maybe some kind of enemies.

Another wonderful game! It's great you didn't give up after first attempt, this is totally worth it :) Last level seems unbeatable to me, but I enjoyed playing this game a lot.

This game is simply delicious. Awesome gameplay, mechanics and great atmosphere. A really good job.

Impressive work for the amount of time.
I like how you used the theme for your game.
Beautiful art and innovative game mechanic.
Good work :)

QWOP with more keys. Just what I always wanted!

D:

Great atmosphere, music and graphics. Reminds me of a cross between Limbo and World of Goo. Good job!

One of the best so far for me. Love the shaders!!!

Great concept, and looks wonderful.

Love the movement mechanics great game

Great music and atmosphere, very innovative.

very unique. Love the idea.

Amazing ! It's hard but the gameplay is very inventive !

Cool and unique idea. Plays very fluid when you get into the rhythm of the mechanic. Also the mood is spot on!

That was very interesting! Could be a fun local multiplayer game in there somewhere as well! :)

Pretty incredible,and totally crazy you managed this in 7 hours. It's great!

Awesome.
I was so proud when I finished the last level... :D
Thanks for this great experience!

The controls are very frustrating. I found out you can more or less make the monster move by typing "monster" or "retsnom" but it still doesn't work very consistently. I wished the monster is more responsive, but this entry is pretty innovative.

Very nice. Could use more levels, but 7 hours is impressive.

5/5... I don't know what to add...

Best from what i've already seen. 5/5

Awesome! Really stylish game and innovative gameplay. Definitely one of my favourites in this LD.

I like the idea, but it's a bit TOO hard, and it needs some kind of consolation for failure, like derping in QWOP.

Absolutely love it.

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

Enjoyed it. The controls were interesting and enjoyable once you get the hang of it. Glad you managed to finish something!

Such a unique game. Awesome visuals. One of my favorites.

This is extremely impressive, especially considering it was made within 7 hours. The idea is brilliant and the execution even better. I love the visual style and the music, together it creates a nice dark atmosphere. It's really an awesome game all around! The only thing I missed was some kind of story, the mood would've been perfect to tell a sad little tale about the very cute monster. (maybe there's something at the end? I didn't manage to beat the last level...)
Overall, one of the best games I played this LD, how you did all this within 7h is beyond me. :)

Great atmosphere, music and graphics, excellent idea and execution. I enjoyed every moment playing with it. Looking forward to see your post-ludum levels!

Fun and beautiful in the same time, great experience

Really inovative mechanics! Nice and clean graphics, one of the best entries ive played! Good job

To be honest...one of the best games i have played this LD. The visuals were moody and grimy(although very very derivative of Limbo it still worked to great effect). The mechanics were really interesting and they started to become even more so in the last two levels. I would have liked to have seen more levels that were more than just introductory(though im aware you were hard pressed for time). I really liked this game :)

It was very enjoyable to control that monster/ball!

Wow ! I've never seen this kind of gameplay ! Really unique and interesting concept, great idea, good job !

The art style reminds of "contre jour". I really like the mood of your game and I am impressed you did this in only 7 hours. Good job! ;)

Lovely, sublime, and a great difficulty curve.

quite clever and difference, ambience is great

Great mechanics!

This is awesome game. Well done!

Amazing entry, really dig the art style - probably the best compo entry in this jam. Wanted to finish the game, but got stuck at the plank, because none of the jumping around helped to get up :(

Amazing work and concept. Nice graphics!

I really want to like this game, but I have to confess I can not get very far in level two. It looks like a great idea, but I am not good enough on the key board or I just don't get it. The effect is that it is not much fun for me. Everything else is great though. I think the music in particular is excellent.

Great work!

It was hard to stay in the rhythm of the rotation as it accelerated as fast as it did, but it really didn't matter since you had balanced the difficulty so well. It is a fantastic game you have created. The visuals, audio and the fact that the content really is mostly about experiencing and not adrenaline of figuring stuff out -- it fits perfectly together. I would have loved some animation upon reaching the end of each level. Like if the letter-appendicies floated off you and then the eye faded out or followed after. Something. As I think the casual style fits very well and since I do hope you will make this into a full game, I hope you keep challenges on the easy side and instead work with discovery, dynamic events and embed a non-verbal slow-paced story to evolve alongside the progression through the game.

awestruck that you were able to build this in 7 hours. this is really good
