Nature's Howl by louis.denizet
IMPORTANT : updated links for laptops to have full screen.
Hi, I really enjoyed making this game.
I hope you'll like to play it too!
Don't forget to read the tutorials in grass!
After reading some comments I think i need to say that :
- check the tutorials on top of the main tree
- To win you must defend the tree untill he becomes big enough to have the final scene!
- I'm sorry about the cursor under the tree / clouds, will fix it
I can easily fix all of this but since the Ludum Dare is over I prefer to let the mistakes I did, mis the game =)
I hope the game is enough balanced to get to the end because the end is pretty nice i think!
I went on "You only have one planet" after 4 hours of reflexion.
I worked on Multimedia Fusion 2 and i'm really happy of the result!
As asked in comments musics are from Adrian Von Ziegler that I credit in my game (Credits in game menu) he does great songs and allows to use for non commercial if credited.
See you and don't hesitate to contact me at Ldnz@hotmail.fr

Very nice, at the end you can take few minutes following the move of the mass of animals... :) Poetic and nice to watch too.
Tutorials could be a bit clearer.
Regarding the gameplay I am undecided if I could play this for longer periods of time or if it would bore me, but for the moment it was a very soothing experience.
However, from what I can see, the music has not been created within these 48 hours, I could easily find it on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_kKFjwpwqc).
To Mirroar : Of course the music was not created within these 48hours, Musics are from Adrian Von Ziegler and you can see by clicking on Credits on Menu screen ^^ It's even in the game folder ;)
Thanks for playing! =)
It's 1600x1024 so must be a problem on laptops
May fix it later if more complains ^^
Another thing is resolution, I have too small monitor(1280x1024) so I've played on TV. Anyways the game was nice and great. It was a pleasure to play it.
You may not vote for the music indeed ^^ I'm sorry about the rules, it's my first time and i've started to create games 3 months ago and had no experience untill there, will do better next time and watch more carefully rules!
Thanks for playing and sorry for the resolution, I thought I fixed the problem by updating a version for laptop computers
good entry!
Dunno if it was possible to win if I kept going, but I had an army of foxes and rabbits and was pretty much unstoppable anyway.
Really cool game, enjoyed it a lot. Nice one.
It was pretty easy after I covered the whole area of the tree with rats which acted like a shied that prevented the clouds from touching the tree :P.
At first I thought it's not possible to beat this game, but it turned out that I actually could! This is just great. All fives from me
Thanks again for playing!
Very cute ,beautiful and enjoyable!
There are a few areas of the game that could be improved. You have to be extremely precise with the mouse cursor in order to deal with the wolves, if you're not clicking on their exact spot then they won't be destroyed. The flames seem more like what you expect in an oil tank rupture rather than a forest fire.
Other than that, this is a brilliant game and fits the theme pretty well! Good work
If I had to nitpick, it would be that the stage between the rabbit and the ferret felt a bit too long. But that's nitpicking.
The visuals are pleasing and you used a very innovate approach to the theme. I didn't see any way to know when new animals were available except for the rabbits, though. That would be my one complain about the gameplay. I was just randomly right clicking until I was finally able to buy foxes (had nearly 2/3 of the green bar full).
Also, the credits didn't work for me. When I clicked credits, the credits button just disappeared and an exit button replaced it.
When I first starting playing it reminded me of Flow and I thought it had a very calming feel and innovative gameplay.
The gameplay and graphics are awesome, but unfortunately it has some balancing issues. For the variety in gameplay, each "level" needs to be over much faster. Something like twice as fast at least, because as it is, the gameplay gets boring. Not in the sense that it's too easy, but in the sense that I get tired of doing nothing but leading these animals of varying speeds back and forth. If I could tell the mice to stay behind or something it would have been a more engaging mechanic.
There's little to no sense of progression. I feel like I played at least ten, maybe twenty minutes after the fox was released and then I thought "Please let it be over soon" and I just stopped playing a little after that.
Really nice game overall, too bad I never saw the end screen, even after investing so much time :/
