Wolf -> Man by Ninjanick107
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first time I've actually finished my entry for Ludum Dare (third time trying). I made everything from scratch. It's a simple turn-based rogue-like, where your goal is to reach the exit of the room. Once you reach it, another random level will spawn, and you keep going until you die. You can regain health from energy "bottles". It is a bit glitchy, but it works in general. I also implemented an experimental high score system (how many levels you entered). Also, I haven't tested the Mac or Linux ports, so I don't know if they work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WASD or Arrow keys to move. If you start your movement right next to an enemy and go through them, they'll die. If you end your movement next to an enemy, it will damage you and then die.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shapeshifting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every third level will be nighttime, where many more enemies will spawn. You transform into a werewolf, which lets you attack enemies from 2 tiles away, even through walls.

Not exactly a new type of game but the werewolf form idea was quite cool. Also impressive that it's a compo submission, so it was made by just one person. Great job on finishing!
