The audio was brilliant and really took the mood to the next level. The distorted voice-over was really creepy (in a good way!)\r\rThe machanics are solid and you're still having fun even when you get enraged because it just feels so intense.

I am really excited to see you all love it as much as I do.\r\rAt first, I was unsure if I what I was doing would turn out well, I'm a terrible artist, I'm not a expert programmer, and Dubstep in foreign to most games, but now I am very glad I went out of my comfort zone. I originally planned on doing simple black and white art(which it sorta is XD[but better]), I didn't plan on adding a lot of the feature's I ended up implementing, but you guys showed me it was worth the risk! \r\r@Candlesan... I was considered adding extra amp-ed up music while in rage... But I didn't have to enough time. Plus, it would be a pain getting it to transition well.\r@Whalebot... Thankyou, I'm going to try fixing that in a post-compo version.\r@Everyone!...

The audio is excellent, as you had hoped. The graphics are simple, but work very well with the rest of the game. The gameplay could be improved; sometimes not enough lights spawn within the rage to calm the monster, and the ones that do are difficult to collect. All in all, I think you did a great job bringing this concept to completion. 4.5\/5"},{"author_name":"jeapple","author_uid":"58214","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 6:32am","epoch":1440570420,"text":"Nice dark world, don't mind completely black.\rhahahaha."},{"author_name":"squarepug","author_uid":"56811","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 3:26pm","epoch":1440602460,"text":"I think you succeeded in making audio the main focus, it works brilliantly.

Some ideas: The music is already "top notch" for the sub-theme (rage) ... so just need to fit the rest to make it even tighter! Inspiration from Anarchist-movement design\/fonts could be an easy 10x multiplier for the overall look\/menus\/etc. Black+Red+White = very basic good colors, keep it. Make the intro skippable, remove the ":" sign in all the status texts. I think the little d00d should move faster and have a bit of tremor\/shake when idle so you know he is about to explode. Also an extra effect could be background lights\/screen blink in tempo with different snare hits\/wubs."},{"author_name":"AlivEMouZ","author_uid":"58573","time":"Aug 29, 2015 @ 2:26am","epoch":1440814860,"text":"Awesome dude nice game!

My name is Tanner Daniels! I'm a 16 year old Dubstep producer \/ Ex-Game developer. I don't Game Dev anymore, but I participate in every Ludum Dare. Ludum Dare is the only time I can look back on my past hobby. Ludum Dare is my most anticipated 3 weekend of the year, I've counted down the days since the last Ludum Dare! I'm supper excited about this entry! This is defiantly my best yet, and I hope you think so too. Keep in mind, I'm a dubstep producer.... Even if you guys rate me low, I will still feel like a winner from the experienced I've gained from this game.\r\nBack to the point...\r\n\r\nThe Monster Inside is a game about the story of a kind monster at heart, who cannot control is rage. He is banished too the darkness, where it is even harder to control his rage. He cannot control the monster inside of him You must consume the light to keep your rage in check. You must avoid unfriendly objects, if you hit them, your rage increased by a random number. The point of the game is simple, don't let your rage reach 100%! If you reach 100 rage points, you go into rage mode, where you slaughter everything around you, including humans. When you enter rage mode, the rage becomes more than you can bear, you explode from rage if you don't consume a certain number of light before the 10 seconds! For more details, see the rules in the game.\r\n\r\nThis game, I stepped out of my comfort zone in aspects of art. I am a terrible artist, but this LD, I focused on improving my art, and I think it turned out well, but that's up to you to decide.\r\n\r\nI AM A DUBSTEP PRODUCER, so I wanted to make audio the main focus of my game. I spent a long time making these songs (probably longer than I should) and I also modulated my own voice to create a sick vocal intro to this game! My goal and dream is to reach top 100 in audio... Pleas help me fufil my dream if you fill I deserve it!\r\n\r\nThankyou for playing this game! And I hope you enjoy playing the game as much as you enjoyed playing it! I wanted to do something outside the box that everyone else is thinking... And I think I achieved it.\r\n\r\n-Tanner","title":"The Monster Inside"}
