I love the audio you used for the angry mob! Super clever how you made the wolf invert controls to attack the villagers unintentionally

Nice game! In the beginning, I thought that you cannot control the werewolf at all and I started to think "how on earth can you beat this game", but then I realised what I was doing wrong. Quite simple, but original concept.

Developer

Thanks Vaeril! One thing I wanted to implement (but which we ran out of time for) was a tutorial modal that appears briefly when you first transform into the wolf to state that when you transform, your movement controls are inverted. Perhaps a future update! Glad you figured it out anyway and enjoyed it after that point. Thank you for playing!

I absolutely love the graphics, sound, and voices - they're so well done! Playing this game is a real joy, especially when I have to switch up the buttons to move around as a wolf. It's definitely a challenging twist! I was able to slay 23 villages in just 1 minute .

Amazing job developing this game in such a short amount of time!

good job, can u see my game?

Ahhhh this is such a nice game. The voice lines are funny (especially the grandma yelling "dONT lET hIm gEt aWAAAAy"). The gameplay feels nice and is challenging yet not in an unfair way. Very nice entry !

Congrats, you made a nice game!

The core gameplay loop is straight forward but yet challenging.

I would experiment with not having the controls reversed when changing into a wolf.

The execution of the theme in combination with the limitation is fantastic.
I like games where the 10 seconds rule is implemented in a way that results in different play styles during one session and with this game in particular y'all did a great job!

Developer

Thanks so much! We were hoping to make something that could be played in more than one way, so we're super glad you enjoyed that!

art was great, the voices were funny, and one of the best ideas i've seen with the werewolf mechanic

Thanks so much for the feedback, dagworth!

Excellent idea for a game mechanic. The inversion of control conveys a sense of madness and irrationality. Plus I like a good "escape" game. GG all around

Wow, thanks aureoreo! This is exactly what we were going for. So glad it got across! Thanks for playing!

Cool idea, implementation, and sounds! We also had the idea of transformation at the beginning, great job!

Your game made me realize that bg music can boost up user's enjoyment. Really nice side scroller game with art style and presentation.

Thanks Shubhrok! We were lucky to have a very talented musician on our team. We’ll share your message with him. Thanks for playing ^_^

Strong submission, graphics are really good, love the mob, on that I think to make it better would be to add the villagers you pass into the mob, gameplay wise, I love the inverted setting each time the switch is made, however I think the jump should be the same X speed as the running as it makes it abit difficult to time, overall well done, one of the best 2D games I've seen so far!

Developer(+1)

These are great points of constructive criticism, BrigDog. Thank you for playing!
