You are the munchster! by Fanatrick

[raw]
made by Fanatrick for LD33 (JAM)
You are the munchster!

Control a cute little munchster in his advanture of terrorizing households. The objective is to eat every person in the house without them catching you in stealth based gameplay. Hide under furniture, use the shadows to your advantage, turn off the lights and ambush the unsuspecting residents. Keep in mind while you're hiding in shadows residents can still detect you, just not as quickly as if you weren't hiding. Beware as the residents are perceptive, try to make as little noise and move as efficiently as you can through the rooms and bait them with your own vocal shout into their own deaths. Most importantly, don't lose heart as the levels get more challenging, and have fun!

When we were making You are the munchster we followed the compo rules. Every piece of the game was made in the 72h period either originally or through highly derived edits of third-party work.

Controls:
A,D - Movement
S - Drop through staircase platforms
Q - Bite
E - Vocal distraction
Spacebar - Hide underneath furniture
Mouse scroll - Zoom in/out
Left click - turn off the lights with switches

Now this is the best game I've played on this LD yet. Although it's pretty hard.

Was difficult to understand the mechanic it self, the bite button was a bad choice, because it make difficult to bite when you try to walk to the left and bite.

Despite my efforts and my many tries, I couldn't figure out clearly the "bite or be kicked" mechanics. In the dark, from behind, I'm still kicked in the face! That's a shame because the overall work is stunning (sfx, animations <3, arts, controls) and the Munchster design is super cute, but I failed poorly :(

Very well-executed gameplay! I love details like sound when you walk. Nice job!

The feedback is appreciated!

@SoulGame:
Most of the time the winning condition is just baiting someone near the object you're hiding behind, then biting without moving and making sound. If you try sneaking behind targets the dark won't help much since you're making too much noise.

Awesome game- great mood and fun! Sometimes it's hard to figure out why I was detected.

Very cool game, but too hard for me (I only was able to finish the first level :P).

So good! Loved this game. Just the right amount of challenge. Hard, but you want to keep playing and get better. Love it.

Well done! You should add more level for a next release !

That was pretty hard. Great music though. And the lighting really completed the mood.
Excellent stealth game in just 3 days!

Nice! Just a bit hard to begin with. And then only slightly less hard.

Wouldn't say the game is hard, just uses not that obvious mechanics, but for me figuring them out was part of the fun, nicely done.

Really good idea, the gameplay is good, and it's fun to hide in the house waiting to eat everybody ! I would have liked more interaction than simple light, but it's a still a really impressive work !

Visually stunning and a great concept. I am amazed at the amount of work behind this game in such a short period of time!

It's so hard to kill 3 gay man.
Music is repetitive.
But i like your stealth mechanic.

Very nice game, but success is look like totally random. I failed too mutch and this was annoying :/ Btw awesome design, nice graphisc, lights, sounds and cute monster.

I added a youtube video showing a bit of gameplay and how the biting works. Obviously you'll miss the bite first few times, but it gets very easy once you get a hang of it :)

Great, great work! It's a nice idea, great graphics and has a great potential to grow even more. Keep developing!!

This is an awesome game! It's really hard and remembering all of the instructions was impossible for me, It'd be perfect if it had a tutorial level... Anyways, those are just details! When I figured out what I had to do, it was amazing!

Great mood and Arts. The gameplay feel good, but I didnt managed to go far. They seem to randomly see me so its rare I can bite them. Its a good idea, keep up the good work !

This is a piece of really good work! The idea is original and the game looks very fun itself. Keep up a great work :)

Great game, the ai could have maybe been a bit more aware and the music is a bit overpowering but I like the mood you are setting.

Really good work on this stealth game! I found it really hard to reliably get kills though which made it a little frustrating.

Polished and fun to play game. At first biting mechanics were not intuitive, but when i got grasp on it, playing Munchster was really entertaining, solid game on all aspects.

Amazingly polished. Captivating mechanics which were equal parts frustratingly difficult and addictive amounts of fun. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Cool game - nice mechanics, the AI was great, really nice entry. One little bug - Had to reopen the game each time I died as it froze for me. Check out and rate my game also please :)

Definitely a hard one! Good stealth mechanics, though I struggled to move slowly enough to avoid alerting anyone. Nice work, anyway - graphics and sound are cool, and I like your use of the theme. There were some small problems with the text rendering on my machine for some reason, but nothing serious enough to worry about.

Quite a fun game! The concept is pretty fun and the graphics are nicely done! The monster is pretty cute! ;D

Nice work on the soundtrack also, it really fits the game! :3

I'd like to see more of this! Good Work! :D

Thanks for playing our game :) Since you watched the video, you've seen how the jazzman turns into a metal monster so I was wondering why you still downrated the theme? Also was wondering what did you mean by "it was very cheap."

Awesome game, some levels are hard others are easy. I love the creepy atmosphere of your game!

Sorry about the previous comment, was meant for another game but I was on the wrong tab XD.

This is a solid entry and it gave me metal gear solid vibes. The graphics look fantastic and the sounds fit perfect. Good job!

Awesome game! Really liked art and sound. I like this kind of reverse-stealth games where you play the monster.

great job! :D
