Well that was a neat game to play with. Quite fun and easy to control, the voice made it funnier.
Good job!
Thanks a lot for playing!
This game was awesome. I love the concept, quite bizarre and interesting, and I feel like a great way to pull off the theme. The art, while relatively static, is very pretty, and overall the audio was great. Well done!
Thanks a lot!
Really fun concept! It was a fun bit of discovery learning exactly to best way to tackle the task.
Art is super pretty, and the voice over really elevates everything!
Thanks for playing! We're glad you liked it!
Had a lot of fun playing your game on my stream! Once I figured out the controls it was great, though I think there's still more for me to learn in terms of strategy.
Thanks for the feedback and sharing your video !
The art styl soo good I like it , Really cool and original idea! , and I love the graphics , I like the game , so good !!!
Thanks a lot! We're glad you liked it!
The art style is so so wonderful, it has like a paper hand-drawn feel. The voice over is also amazing! I think it was really creative that the player actually plays as the curse!
Thanks a lot! We are very glad you enjoyed!
Really cool and original idea! I especially like the style you came up with, and I love the graphics. Very simple to understand but harder than it looks to master.
Thanks for the nice feedback!
awesome game! I wanted to keep playing after I won and all in all it was quite fun.
Thanks a lot!
This is really awesome! the art style is unique and creative, the controls are fairly intuitive once you understand what you are supposed to be doing, but most of all this is just a really interesting and cool idea for a puzzle (strategy?) game. There's a surprising number of little interactions and strategies you can learn from playing a few times (Like leading the priests into you to kill multiple or stranding yourself from being careless).
You could definitely build off this into a finished game if you could come up with a few more interesting mechanics that you could spread over multiple levels. Great job!
Thanks a lot for your detailed comment! We are currently working on a post-jam version and intend to add a few more levels in which we would like to introduce different transformations (with different mechanics)!
The idea of being an actual curse is quite original. Took me awhile to figure out the controls and what to do in general. The art is charming and music fits the visuals. However, the skull got really annoying really fast, it feels like he never stays quiet for more than 4 seconds. Overall a fun little game!!
Thanks for playing! Yeah, maybe the voice over would have needed a bit more balancing, sorry about that!
Very cool idea, I loved the sound and art, especially the sounds, great submission!
Thanks a lot!
Very cool entry! It took me a sec to get the controls but was super fun once I did. I really like the dynamic of turning people into werewolves and then having to get away from them before they kill me. The art work set the tone really well. Originally I thought the townsperson would die if I stayed on them too long but I think you can just chill on someone as long as you want? Maybe having the people spontaneously combust after having the curse linger too long would add some extra urgency? Awesome job on the submission!
Thanks a lot for playing! At the moment, you're right, there is no urge to change of the person you are possessing but you're idea is really cool! We might add something similar in a post-jam version!
Really love the look and feel and the sounds. Could use a little more hand holding but it was fun :)
Thanks for the nice comment! Indeed it is still a bit tricky to get the hang of at the beginning!
We may work on that in a post-jam version!
Cool idea of becoming the curse itself and moving around to infect other people. Great art, music, and voice acting too!
The controls and movement were a little difficult to understand but I was able to at least get 6/6 once to clear a stage.
Thanks for the nice comments!
We may publish a post -jam version to polish up the rough edges in the future (among which clarify the controls).
An awesome interpretation, a neat style, a funny narrator, and a fun gameplay loop.
Well done!
Thanks a lot for playing!
Unique concept and great use of the theme and the visuals were also very nice, great work!
Thanks a lot!
I really enjoyed this. Great aesthetics and interesting idea. I think some work could be done on how smooth the user interaction feels, but otherwise very cool
Thanks for playing! Indeed, we may work on a post-jam version to smooth things up.
Great game!! The art style as others have mentioned is next level. I love the cut-out style and the way villagers bump into each other!! The visualization of the curse and the targeted victim is really well done + dialogue UI and audio are really high quality to match. Great entry!!
Thanks a lot for the nice comments! The art (both visual and audio) took us a lot of time and efforts so we're very happy to hear you enjoyed!
