Becoming - bitbof - 48 Hour Compo Entry
Your mind is about to turn into something unspeakable and you need to fight it by protecting your brain, or all hope for humanity is lost.
Controls are explained ingame.
I hope you enjoy it.

A bit of the inspiration comes from EdmundM's game C**t.
This game was created with:
Libgdx (Java library), Ableton Live (music/sound creation) and Photoshop(art)

Graphics are freaking awesome!
Though, what it has to do with 'you are the villain' theme?
Game is pretty darn hard. Has an interesting atmosphere to it. But I don't see how it ties into the theme at all. It's more like "You can become the villain", if you lose. Art is nice.
I think the game is so hard because you have to use the keyboard, and it has insane acceleration. Mouse controls would benefit it.
not a bad game - strangely hypnotic - I did complete it... nice mood and great graphic style!
This was nicely done, but I think I'd have preferred mouse control. Nice artwork and sound.
It took a while to get the hang of it - it's p hard to start with. I love the artwork though - really evocative.
As always, superb job on the audio. The atmosphere is fantastic in this one. Love how the audio and visuals work really tightly together. Also great story telling ..
But holy crap it's hard. Was this done on purpose? I struggle to get past 1 minute in this game.. Would love to see more of it if only it was easier. Maybe you could release a post-compo version that's easier to beat?
Wow!
The graphics are incredible!
I liked the gameplay, but couldn't make it past the second stage. Perhaps I'll try again later. Really great job! :)
Good game, a bit hard nonetheless.
I'm still searching for the villain tought...
Awesome artwork and sound, keep it up. I did not really like the gameplay, but I admit that the quality of the game is very good.
Woha, awesome and creepy graphics! My only complain is that the gameplay is the same (harder, but same mechanic) between each level.
There's some great presentation here, and I really enjoy how the graphics and sound all tie together. I think the keyboard controls don't do it much justice though, as it feels a bit out of control.
Gorgeous static backgrounds, a really nice vibe. There's a potential for something cool here, but as it is, it's not a terribly fun game. (And, as the others have said, it doesn't follow the theme of the contest.)
Nice Game man!!!! just add spooky sound effects and it will be great!
wonderful graphics , but the game is hard , have the mission of defending your brain , which is not villainy ?!
What a moody game ! Impressive ! The graphics art is superb :)

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
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.
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.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
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 about 20 games to improve your visibility.
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.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
It's a bit strange and i don't really know what to do !
