Defend your treasure by stopping heroes with your small army of shapeshifting monsters.
In Dungeophobia, you control a pack of monsters that can change shape on command. Some heroes have decided to explore your dungeons to steal your treasure. Luckily, you know the fears of the heroes, and can fight them better with this knowledge. A scared hero will take twice as much damage!
-How to play-
The entire game is controlled with a mouse.
Clicking on a monster opens the UI to shift into another monster,
Clicking on a monster in that UI will change into the selected monster
Hover over heroes for an explanation of their fear/condition.
Bugs:
The buttons are a bit buggy due to some last minute changes! Sorry! It seems that you need to move your mouse to the left of the button slightly! You can tell which button you are hovering over because it will turn yellow
A phobia could make a hero scared of several types of monsters, switching the monster it is fighting to a monster it is scared of will make any damage done to that hero twice as effective.
Special phobias:
Fear of new things / Fear of anything new:
When this hero is fighting a monster, shift the monster into a different type to scare the hero.

Cute art and cool concept. I like how when you hover over the phobia it teaches you what it means. It takes a little trial and error to figure out what the buttons do and the buttons bounding boxes seem a little off the image sometimes. Nicely done tho!
Very very nice besides a few bugs the idea is solid and I had a blast, the phobia idea confused me at first, but I got the hang of it pretty fast. Good job
Simple and consistent graphics, easy to get into gameplay, pretty good overall.
Not the best idea to package every platform in one zip file. Makes the download too large.
Fun game though, interesting concept. Nice work!
Was pretty fun. Liked the music too, but the tooltip buttons were kind of weird at times
Nice tower defense game. I think the only issue I had is I didn't always select the button I intended when shapeshifting.
Interesting concept and quite like that you included the description of all the phobis on mouse-over, nice touch.
Can see folks liking themselves some whack'a'mole games spending some time on this. Nice one.
Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
Super cute assets! The buttons are too hard to click and are buggy in fullscreen :(
Dispite this great idea of gameplay and really fun!
Good job :)
Really nice gma. I really liked that you change shape of monsters.And the music was cool too
Besides the buttons being a bit buggy, the game itself is pretty fun.
Nice take on the theme, the graphics are lovely but there seems to be a huge UI issue that made shapeshifting our monsters a tad hard.
Loved the art style and the idea was really cool. I think it was a bit too challenging right out of the gate. Also too bad for the buggy controls. I had wish there was a really short tutorial or instructions at the beginning to get me started.
Otherwise, great fun, quirky graphics, and clever idea!
Cool concept, button hitboxes are waaay off which made this obnoxious to play.
Funny game! It would be nice to add some feedbacks about what's happening on the battlefield (units who hit, and show when a unit is fighting a monster who is his phobia)
really uniqe implementation of a weapon system. i like the concept and the art.
Very creative idea for a game, quite enjoyable. Nice job!
Tough if you don't know the phobias and have to keep looking at the people to get the meaning. Aside from the button issue it plays well.
Took a while to catch onto but it was a really interesting concept and it would be cool to see this post-jam
Very innovative and fun idea! It was also quite fun to play, and really cute graphics, lthough at times it was quite challenging to see the hover over text when characters are next to each other! Also the colliders for click on characters to shapeshift are a bit off. Good job overall!

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.
I like the concept! The buttons are a bit buggy where you have to click on the one to the left of the button you want to click on a fair few times. But this is a great idea, with a bit more work it could be something to waste a lot of time on.
