The controls didn't work properly: the character just automatically run into a single direction got stuck in the terrain.

It works properly in the web player and windows. Mac and Linux remain untested.

The ground terrain looks cool. The game play reminds me of a pac-man.

Thanks! A new build fixing the broken features is uploaded. Some of the things fixed are : Points, Achievements and High scores! These features were always in the game but I diddnt have time to fix them after they broke.

4692! Probably horrendous! Cool, odd game that reminds me of a (good) Bubsy 3D

Well thanks! I'm surprised by all the positive feedback! I thought this would be greatly hated upon.

Controls worked fine for me! Actually it's what I enjoyed the most, kind of a slippery hard to control monster.

I like this. The greatest feat was controlling the character, but if it were easy to control the game would be way too simple.

Music was great, while I'm sure you would've done a lot more if you had the time, I actually really enjoyed the controls. There's plenty of games that have easy keep away game play, the rotation of 90 degrees at a time kept me thinking of how I was going to lure and get away, not bad!

I ate a few yellow dots and got to the white thing. Score 6802. Music didn't really fit the light-hearted, cartoonish look of the game. And t didn't seem like I was the monster. It felt like I was being chased by monsters. Controls seemed fine to me. Impressive what you can do with Unity and 3D in a browser these days.

I tried quite a few times to get to the white thing, but just couldn't manage it. I do like the control scheme, I think a lot could be done with this. Also, love the terrain effect!

controls are weird, was a bit confused in gameplay.

Controls were a little floaty, but all told the game functioned. Just wished there was a little more to do. Good effort!

The black outlines on the terrain looks good. The characters seem funny. Good entry for the Jam time limit!

Mac version works ok. The camera takes ages to catch up with the weird monster.

Cool idea. Would love to see it with some different enemies and whatnot.

Definitely appropriately named =) The odd controls and slidy-ness made it far more interesting.

I had an issue logging in. It kept saying that I had an incorrect username or token, when I definitely did not. But then it saved my score anyways. So maybe there's a bug with being auto-signed in, blocking manual signin?

For 8 hours of work, good job =)

Thanks! Literally JUST before you commented I played your game.

This is pretty dang good considering you only worked on it for 8 hours! The controls were a little funky at first, but it was pretty easy to move around once I got used to it.

Nice game ! The music is too loud and the concept kinda weirdo but i still got fun with it ! I scored 12K ! Thanks :)

Not so bad for an 8 hours work!
I think the camera works well, and it's not easy to do in a 3D third person view.
I liked the overall game, it was challenging but not too hard. I managed to finish it and put my score on the board :-)
The music is wisely chosen, it sets a funny and enjoyable mood.
Maybe with more work on the backstory the theme would be more obvious.
Overall, great job!

It took me a while to figure out what the WASD keys were doing; I'd not thought of rotating the character in 90 degree steps!
You can do a lot in Unity in 8 hours!

Solid entry! I love the terrain shaders/effects. The models are nice, too, although they don't really seem to match the overall style. For some reason the camera lagged behind the player and moved wayyy too slow for the player's speed. Otherwise fun game!

I didn't notice any edible pixels, but I did reach the goal. I liked the chasing baddies... reminded me of Serious Sam. A good step towards a game with possibilities.

It made me a bit dizzy, I have to admit. I think the camera was moving too slow.

Loved how the score acted as a timer that increased the challenge of reaching the next pixel/cube.

Controls felt good enough, although I'm not sure if "tank controls"(Resident Evil style) are the best choice for the genre.

You made a good choice with the music, and graphics were cute and surprisingly lovely for a game about monsters. It's amazing you managed to do this in only 8 hours. Congratulations!
