Monster in the House by Jani Nykänen
Use Firefox or any webkit-based browser to play the game (Chrome, Opera etc.)!
Monster in the House is an arcade-like game where you play as a true monster, a woman, who wants to steal his husband's money by whacking him. Why she needs the money? For her selfish needs, of course!
Controls:
WASD: Move
Mouse: Aim and whack
The only third-party library this game uses is howler.js. Everything else is pure Html5/Javascript. This project uses my own simple framework (https://github.com/JaniNykanen/SpookyH5-Framework).
The music was created using Otomata and Audacity.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I made a quick bug fix (added missing " * Game.timeMod " to a few code lines), but the source code is from the version before the fix.
The post-compo version is available on Game Jolt only.

I think the game tries to not make the physics too wacky, but it inevitably is, so I think that either removing the physics or letting them be as crazy as they seem to want to be is better than treading the middle ground that it does now, especially since the frame of the game is so small.
Great work on the art and the concept execution. Congrats on the entry!
Hmm, this game should work on Chrome, Safari is not supported, though.
I love the art consistency of your game :)
Overall a neat little game. The graphics are distinctive: very cute grotesque. It's maybe a bit on the easy side: I only ever killed my children when I specifically aimed to.
The graphics are pretty solid, as per usual.
*: I don't know how to say it in English. I'm sorry.
Simple but addictive - imho the earnd amount of money fells too low. I'm not satisfied :-)
Anyway, well done!
5\5
on the more mechanical side, i dig the controls a lot and also the fact that the head/arm animates with it.
i think you could have benefited from more blood particles (and maybe not just rectangles) at the end. and maybe some as you go, or the husband getting more beat up as you went.
fitting audio but i guess you didnt make it since you opted out of the category.
I did make it, but I didn't compose it: I used Otomate music generator and then edited the track with Audacity. But since I didn't compose it, I decided to opt it out.
So little game and so much fun.
Replayed several times.
Reminds me of Super Smash's "Grab the coins" mode.
Good job!
So many children.
Very good game. :)
Fun game and creative development approach!
I loved it! Nice graphics, weird idea but not serious enough to be lame, it was fun!
