It's Hard Out There for a Reverse Werewolf by dwemthy

made by dwemthy for LD35 (JAM)

As the alpha male of the wolf pack you attacked the wrong gypsy queen; she cursed you to be a reverse werewolf! Destined to turn into a naked, scared human in the light of the full moon and be hunted by your former brethren. Only when the gypsy queen is dead will you be free from her curse.

WASD to control up,left,down,right. Avoid the wolves and find the gypsy queen. After you walk over the pile of rocks you will be able to throw rocks to kill gypsies. Find and kill the queen gypsy to win.

Really disappointed how time worked out this time. Due to circumstances beyond my control I was unable to incorporate new art from Karl, including intro screens that give context. Didn't get to put actual shape shifting into the game, it's just part of the story.

UPDATE: Version with assets that didn't make the deadline playable at http://electrophage.com/site/assets/files/1178/index.html and a blog about the game at http://electrophage.com/blog/

I liked the graphics, felt a lot like Don't Starve.

Clever title, strange game. Why am I running from wolves naked and stoning gypsy to death? I mean I'm tempted to say "it's just a game" but I hate that phrase. It does evoke a sort of lost and alone sensation. Everything wants to kill me or is ambivalent to me as a feral child. Maybe this is why I lash out stoning gypsies to death.

Kudos on showing the approximation of a dong. Rust is really opened up the flood gates-- we're breaking down walls here people.

All that aside, it was short but fun and certainly strange. I liked it.

If this abort() is unexpected, build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 which can give more information.

Controls feel good enough, ennemies are manageable. I think there's a bit too many empty space though, I didn't know whether I was making any progress or not.

The graphics were nice, and the controls worked pretty well, but man are those wolves fast! I enjoyed the running animation, it is quite funny!

I tried to go back to the wolves, but they were still invincible. Then after stonning a defenseless old lady (you can stone her from far away and she doesn't react), victory!

Nice entry, I'd like the wolves to be attackable too, or maybe instead of throwing stones, regain a bit of your wolverine powers.

Lack of sound/music made it a bit boring to play on top of the limited interaction I could do. The graphics do have a certain charm to them that I like, but everything feels very static at the moment. Maybe having the player turn into a werewolf for a few seconds when the moon appears or something could passively add the shape shifting aspect into the mechanics. I like the theme for the story though.

the light looked nice until you went too far to the right... then it was very clear how it was implemented when the bitmaps border become visible...
