---Resources Explained in a Long Paragraph in Case You're Interested---
Pick up glowing orbs to regain Health or Elemental points. The red/pink circle in the top left shows your health, and empties as you take damage. The outer panels (which I now realize look remarkably similar to the old game Simon Says), are your Elemental Points. When you hold Spacebar and a Direction to transform into a bear, the Direction you hold determines the Element and Bear that you'll transform into. You need to have resources for that element to turn into that bear. Your points for that Element will drain away over time, and are lost when you take damage, returning you to human form when it's empty. You can turn into a different bear to kill more ghouls so they drop more glowing orbs.

i killed 673 ghouls
The game is fun!
How do you pronounce your game anyway? Ludum Bah-ray? ;)
Swiping swarms of ghouls is great fun, and the increasing difficulty made sure I got swarmed to death eventually.
The four direction meter is really innovative, and have to love panda mode!
