You're a Monster, but a nice one!
Your mission is to save the citizens and take them to the Ambulance.
But the police doesn't understand you're only trying to help!
After you save 10 citizens you'll go to another (harder) city!
How far can you go?
Move your monster using the arrow keys or the WASD keys and bring the citizens down to the ambulance.
Have Fun!

Killer art, great concept. I loved the AI of the citizens and the cuteness of it all. After picking up citizen 12, I couldn't deliver any more... :(
I loved the art! The gameplay got a bit repetitive though by the later levels (and it could use more enemy types, adding more cops didn't make it that much harder since they just grouped up anyway).
I love the premise. Super cute monster and cute music! Bullets are a bit hard to see though, and it's slightly buggy starting at the second level: sometimes citizens still show after you've dropped them, and/or you have to drop them again.. Also you get hit when starting a new level before you can even move, that's how I died :( The gameplay is a bit repetitive but it has potential.
I saved 30 citizens :]
Cool little game. The music ended after I've spent some time on the level and didn't resume though.
great art and animation. Gameplay gets a little bit repetitive after a while though.
Great artwork, and a cute monster. Fairly simple gameplay. I liked that you could "bounce" the girls around while having one follow you, so that you can "herd" them into positions not too far from the ambulance.
So, Patamon the kidnapper? My initial thought before reading the instruction LOL
I like the look of it. Music is good. Music and aesthetic all tie in well so the mood I also rate highly. Gameplay was not fun, very basic and as far as I know you can't beat this game.
The art and music work well with the gameplay and set the mood nicely. It's a really cute game, and it's fun to play
Really cute game! The graphics are nicely done and the gameplay is simple and accessible.
The game seems too simple at first. I just had to run in a wide circle to get all the citizens while avoiding all the bullets. But then it gets harder and I had to change my strategy.
Overall I'd say it's a great game! Congrats!
Fun, entertaining and cute to boot! Found the controls maybe little drifty but that's just probably me. A nice game.
KAWAII!!!
Awesome game, it really fits the theme perfectly.
The sound makes everything moodier :D
Liked the art, but lacks a bit of feedback maybe. Also cool concept.
PS: Why cant I rate the awesome music? :(
Really cute. Took a while to figure out what I had to do though.
Also, the music doesn't loop :)
Well done, i at first thought i had to collect all the citizens before i went to the exit, but later on noticed that had to drop them of one by one,
This is a really cute game, and I love the art style! Just a couple of thing I noticed, though:
1. the backing track doesn't seem to loop, so the levels I took rather long on got a bit quiet once it had ended;
2. the citizens count as 'saved' once the monster touches the ambulance, rather than once the citizens themselves touch the ambulance, which felt a bit strange when a citizen had become stuck against a building or something.
Still, great job! :D
Sometimes I have trouble getting the kids in the van, I think when I'm dragging them in from the left or right while sticking to the bottom, instead of in from the top where the hitbox is? I'm not sure.
Really cute art and voices, and nice choice of music! Great job!
hahaha who said monsters need to be bad?
Great little game, lasted just as long as it should.
Nice job on art and music. Wish the gameplay was a tiny bit more complex.
Great job nonetheless! Pretty good for 1st game! :)
Very cute, in terms of feedback I'd say maybe in the first level the map was a bit big, it got a bit repetitive due to how far you have to move to collect all 10 people - maybe make either the map smaller or reduce the amount of people to collect in that level? Also in one of my attempts i lost a health before I'd even had the change to move, which seemed unfair! Overall really nice game though :)
It's so cute! Being your first game ever you should be SUPER proud! :D Can't wait to see what you two come up with next!
Music and art fits well, but would've liked to be able to pick up multiple girls at a time.
cool premise...round em up game with a cuteness factor...a little buggy, sometimes they wouldn't get saved until like 10 tries.All in all pretty good
This is so cute and adorable, I love the monster ! Too bad that the music doesn't loop, it gets a little bit quiet then. Anyways, nice job !
Adorable (especially the voice-acting on the title). Made me smile when I heard the song (I've used it in one of my older games). Very simple game, but effective.
Pretty cute game! I had fun playing it, saved a few dozens citizens and then it got a bit repetitive. Great job, anyway! Parabéns pelo primeiro jogo, Baka!
Quite a light-hearted and cute take on the Ludum Dare theme! I would like to see the monster do more, but the sound effects, music and artwork added a happy feeling to the game!
i liked the graphics a lot they were proper for the game. the controls felt a little stiff but other than that it was great.
great job.
Probably one of the cutest games I've played in Ludum Dare! Great game man. :)
It says next to your game that you've rated 512 games? Have you really played those 512 games?
Nice first game. Do not hesitate to add variation of the gameplay like enemies with specific moves for a next release
Argh, exactly 30 saved. Very cute and fun, but i always got one bullet after spawning.
And welcome to Lurum Dare, it´s my first time here too :)
I got two kids attached to myself, nothing else happened, maybe some instructions would be in order? Tried going everywhere.
I got two kids attached to myself, nothing else happened. Tried taking them everywhere without success.
Very well done. The visuals were cute and worked really well for the style of game.
Nice but little repetitive and I felt not that fun :( . Great graphics and music though! And also you nailed the theme very good!
Super cute. :) I would have liked some kind of "yaaay!" or "thank you!" when I saved everybody...but that's levels of polish that might be hard to do in jam time. Game worked nicely though!
The monster is so cute :) It was the nice idea, to show a nice monster in the game. But why are those cops shooting them?
@Aglavra The police doesn't understand that the monster is actually trying to help... This is a really sad game :)
Another adorable game, the assets were very nice and the game was awesome in its own way! The music didn't play on a loop though it seems.
Very cute, and the art is decently polished. Great effort for your first game, and solid entry.
Cute game, but I couldn't get more than one citizen to follow me on several tries...?
Really cute graphics. Maybe you can try to add some cute sounds for the monster or some gun shot FX. Hope we see you in the next jam!
Excellent game in all ways!!! I just see a little annoying bug, sometimes I can't deliver the citizen even when I passed four times over the ambulance but this game is one of my favorites of the jam, congratulations, good job
Nice gfx and very attractive main sound theme. Thx for entry man!
Nice idea!
I think the difficulty curve was roughly about right, but there are a few little things which make it annoying (civilians just hanging around in a fire, or refusing to go into the van, or getting stuck behind a house :) )
The music and sounds were good, too!
Cute little game. Gameplay is simple but it fits the needs. The idea nicely fits the theme, who would though about a 'good' monster ? :)
Some level are frustrating because the monster spawn near to the policemen and get immediatly shot. The town(s?) could have been better, less repetitive, more details.
But overall, it's a cool game. Well done.
Monster it's very cute! For 1st time it's ok. Maybe you can add more type of enemies, but we understand the lack of time :D
How can I hold all that cuteness?
In this game, the monsters are those policemen.
Only one thing to say: EXCELLENT
Nice but I don't get it, sometimes the citizens don't want to go in the ambulance, sometimes you can take only one citizen at a time, sometimes several...
Nice game, but could use some more gameplay elements in further elements. For now it was just all the same. The graphics are awesome, and the music fit the mood quite well!
Ouha !! Nice graphics and nice audio. Awesome !! Funny game. Excellent Work.
couldnt play it, nothing happend after "Your game will start after this message"
Game was perfectly adorable, needs a little polishing on the controls, but is a great start!
Really fun and cute game. Nice amount of content for the dev time! Great entry :)
Nice art, has some issues. You asked for some tips, here is what I found:
- The music ends and doesn't start again, just loop it.
- Sometimes people get stuck and you have to return for them, so maybe if your distance is equal to certain number, let them go.
- Controls need a bit more tweaking, felt a bit unresponsive.
- Graphics are really nice, but the floor and the fire doesn't match completely the rest of the art.
Good job
The mechanics are great. Need more variations, after a while gets boring, but nice idea!! The music is very nice.
Game itself it's much fun tbh, but the cute visuals and sounds make it a genuinely fun experience :P
Cute, adorable audio, lovely graphics, nice and simple. Well done.
Super cute! I love the art style, the pastelle colors are a refreshing change from a lot of these games. I had a few issues with citizens not getting detected properly at the ambulance, but mostly it worked fine. Solid game for your 1st time.
OMG it's sooo KAWAII ^_^
The SFX when you start the game is great! Melted my heart.
Gameplay was simple but functional and surprisingly engaging. I found myself trying to save several people at once, expecting them to "conga line" behind me but was sad to see this wasn't possible. Would suggest thinking about how to add a second layer to the gameplay where the player could do something more risky that would reap bigger rewards, e.g. the aforementioned conga line which could allow you to save multiple characters at once, but the drawback could be slower movement speed or that they might have a higher chance to accidentally get shot by the police or something similar like this. Point is, I think the gameplay needs something more to spice things up!
Great job!
I love the style; it actually made me feel bad for the poor guy! 5 out of 5!
Very cute game, albeit basic. I think it would be interesting to see more enemy types and varieties.
This is great! Super happy and fun game, really enjoyed it.
Cute graphics and very pleasant color palette. Sound effects cute as well. On the third stage I got hit twice as soon as the level started. Great game overall.
It looks and sounds great, but sometimes there was a problem with the girls not getting into the ambulance.
Destruction that feels so harmless! I particularly liked the title voice acting, nice one there!
The art in this game is fantastic. I'm not quite sure if the concept is fully explained to the player before you start, maybe a little flashing arrow pointing to the citizens and the ambulance would help. I think the citizens should probably follow your last known position, so they don't get stuck between buildings. OVerall the gameplay is nice and the music is very cheerful and happy.
Adorable, lovely art. And the sound at the beginning was cute too. As a game its pretty simple/easy, but maybe tweaking the motion and adding powerups could make it into a fuller idea.
Nice music and a good simple game. The music did not loop so after I took a while to collect the first 10 the music had ended. Had to use a house to re-align a girl to get her into the car.
Graphics are cute!
Well done.
Very cheery. The music fits nicely.
A couple of thoughts:
- The bullets could stand out a bit more, by size, color, etc.
- It might be nice to know how many citizens remain.
Really wish there was a windows build. This looks like a well done game. Your graphics look really good and the monster is so cute.
Yeah it is cute and fun. Nice entry with awesome art and good gameplay :-)
Nice graphics and inclusion of audio. The transition/refresh of the level could use more of a warning I think.
Cute art hehe
I had some issues with the controls, but nothing that would take out the fun
Good job!
Graphics are cute and the core mechanic is nice, it just needs more polishement

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
That was a super cute game! :D Nice art <3
