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.
Nice art and a fun concept!
Thanks RusKom!
TIME TO BEAT
WITHOUT KILLING ANY VILLAGERS
1 min 28 seconds. :)
Was surprised with how fun this game was, great art style and music/voices were funny, great stuff!
So glad you enjoyed, thanks! We had so much fun with the sound effects. Creds to our v v talented sound guy!
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!
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 for the awesome feedback, JML Games!
The most enjoyable and interesting game among the ones I reviewed until now. Really clever concept and game design.
Woooow what an honour. Thank you for playing and reviewing, Crms0n_Jst3r!

Pretty fun concept, I enjoyed playing it
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!
this idea was quite fun :)
Thanks, CosplayingMagpie! We appreciate that you tried it out!
Cool idea, implementation, and sounds! We also had the idea of transformation at the beginning, great job!
Thank you so much, in_aev!
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!
These are great points of constructive criticism, BrigDog. Thank you for playing!
Well done! Graphics are good, the limitation is well used.
Awesome, thank you Gaxxel!
Nice graphics. :)
I'm not sure I like the inversion of the controls, though. At least for me it leads to some confusion...
Thanks for the feedback, k3nzngtn! We wanted to find a way to emulate a person “losing control” in werewolf form to make it harder not to kill villagers. Maybe there’s another mechanic we could have used for this!
Oh, that's a good idea though. 🤔
I think the maybe jumping mechanic might be enough in that regard, because some people find that hard to master already. 🙂
Very well crafted art and sound, very well implemented limitation. Very fun to play!!
Thanks so much for the feedback! We're so glad you found it fun to play!
Awesome! Nice art style and very creative use of theme. Also love the voice lines.
Thank you for the review, Yasiik! We love the voice lines too. "Don't let him get away!" XD Thanks for playing!
i honestly kinda like it. im not that good at it tho. kept dying to the projectile;-; i also really really like the art style. it looks amazing
Thanks for the feedback, airell! If you try again, try ripping through the villagers as the wolf. It's not a low score, but it's fun and you can get far ahead of the mob and closer to escape! Wheeeeeee ^-^
wayy ahead of you. i almost got 30 before dying
#carnage XD
can report that someone has now reached 50 kills hahaha
Nice work!! Creative concept, I liked the challenge to try and get the lowest score. Good visual and sound polish!
Thanks for playing, Fuzzyzilla! We're glad you found the visuals and sound polished!
