Ha-ha, nasty humans, can't escape my 220 speed wolf!

Pretty art and music, fun to play, but didn't spawn new villagers after i ate everyone.
Run game in Firefox, it was laggy, but not critical. Did you use "Compatibility" renderer for your project?

Best game of Jam so far! the day cycle could be longer and harder, didn't get hurt once xD

The tutorial is great, instructions are clear and I was sad when I killed the last human XDD I could continue playing for a long time! really good game

very fun concept with the day night cycle

Submitted

Great concept.  Super fun.  I seem to be pretty overpowered, and the daytime portion is really easy to live through.  The screen shake when you get hit is pretty epic.

Submitted

ran out of humans to eat ):

cool game (:

Submitted

Very fun game! I had to stop playing because I got stuck in one of the trees at the bottom of the map and no amount of wiggling would get me out :( I think it would be good to add a time limit to how long you can be in a bush since there's no reason why I can't just sit there until it is night again. I really liked this game and think it could be really good if you wanted to work on it more :)

Very fun! Strangely cathartic haha. Clear concept, clear enjoyment.

i can now live out my days in peace as a comfortable wolf — i would have expected the angry mob to repopulate over time, but i guess since i took them all out there’s none left to make that happen! game errs a bit too far on the easy side: i don’t even know if it’s possible to die as i never got touched. good art tho, and the grawrr sfx when you go wolfmode is a nice touch!

They should spawn at the buildings every 2 seconds during the day unless there is 100 of them on the map. I must have left a bug in there that stops them from spawning in some case :O


Thanks for playing, I appreciate it!

Submitted

It looks interesting. I think it needs to be more challenging and divided on levels. Also, I have lags a few first seconds when night comes.

Submitted

Great gameplay loop, love the change in the game from human to wolf, overall great job! I just have a small favor, do you think you can play my game, you don't have to i just would like it.

Submitted

Great concept, thanks for rating so many games i saw you in every single comment section lmao

However the music did bug quite a lot when i was the werewolf

Submitted

Very good game, I enjoyed it a lot even though it was at 5fps. Great Job!

Developer

Sorry about that! I'm not sure why it runs so much worse on web but I didn't have time to fix the lag after submitting :(


Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Cool game, nice concept. But some troubles with optimization

Submitted

Very fun, and very  polished! While there is some simplicity to it, what is here is very well done and without flaws. Nice game! :)

Submitted

Fun game! Although I ended up eating all the villagers, and there didn't seem to be a win condition. Was that intentional or just not enough time?

Developer

Thanks! 

It was semi intentional in that I really just wanted to incorporate the "cycle" theme with the back and forth between having to run and hide during the day vs being a killing machine at night. I wanted to add win conditions, more skills, enemies, scaling etc, etc, and lots of other things but the scope creep was already starting to bite me and I wanted to make sure I submitted something. 

I appreciate you playing :3
