An awesome game! I really liked the overall graphics and the animations were fantastic. I thought it was an interesting concept, but I couldn't quite understand why there was a need to shape shift between hunter and fox (although I did like the duality of the two). Also, I'm not sure whether this is a laptop, or a mac problem, but left-click doesn't work.

Beautiful little game. I especially love the graphics. The controls are a bit clunky since the player has to move the mouse away from the screen's edge before transitioning and I encountered a few bugs. Once I got stuck in autofire in hunter mode (convenient), and a few instances the characters were stuck in position. The music is nice and mellow but the game could really use some sound effects.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone!

In terms of the lack of SFX, I actually ran into a weird bug in the last couple of hours which made the SFX cause some sort of weird distortion to the music... I decided to just cut out all the SFX because I couldn't figure out what was wrong!

And to Freank, that sounds nice! I'll try adding my game to indiexpo later today.

Fun and great looking game. Got stuck with only one shell I couldn't shoot as the hunter or reload but really enjoyed it overall.

Really nice! Pretty difficult but that could just be me being inept at the controls. The atmosphere and mechanics were really solid!

I think this could have been better with some puzzles and unique abilities between shapes. I just wondered around as the fox not attacking anything and I found 2 orbs. I would probably found the last but eventually I died.

Nice game! Great graphics, audio, mood!
I also had the autofire bug, but ok, it was easier. XD

I couldn't tell, but it seemed like attack wasn't working. So, I became a pacifist and found the three orbs. I braved the things and brought them back, but they were already there! I am a FOX!

Good job

Very interesting game! Maybe only because the fox looked so "stealthy", but I think that this game could successfully be turned into a stealth game. Imagine shifting shape depending on your environment to either blend in or be the superior animal. Good work nonetheless!

Got "stuck" on the first screen waiting for enemies to come not knowing I had to leave the screen. Fun but enemies can move between screens and can be a pain to kill them, because you jump from screen to screen while they can move fluidly

good game man, the only thing i would suggest is that the character takes damage upon colliding with an enemy, as it is, it can be really easy to just hit space all the time, and when you bump into an enemy, no harm done, just go past him and mash space again. and the game glitched out when i died, but thats i minor fix im sure. great job otherwise!

Fun game! Only thing I'd say is that the mouse controls alongside the keyboard left me feeling a bit turned around at times.

Really like the top down art style. Mood is great. Missing some sound fx.
Keep up the good work!
