Nice, cute graphics. The game itself isn't that special.

Liked the brother's animation too, lol

It made me imagine a game with same art but animated. I broke the curse twice. Gameplay is not the best, I'll only give credit to the artist :)

I had fun playing this. :) The drawings are cool. Sometimes it was a bit hard to see if I would fit through somewhere. I liked the music and the sound effects. Well done! :)

Nice graphics. The random generation of the map was good to but sometimes the pages were rounded by trees and there were no way to get them.

@psychonull: Yep, I didn't have time to do pathfinding from the player to the pages when they were placed so it is possible for the game to be unwinnable!

It is a simple game but very charming! The art of course is very "gamejam-y" jejej, I liked the style!
Good mood. Made me smile!

I really like the art style - it's very different! :-) However, I did have trouble seeing the spellbook pages.

Am I the only one who think that art is adorable?
*scrolls through the comments*
Nope, I'm not~!

The yay:
- the art, obviously
- audio (especially the sound effect of werewolf/siren/whatever other magical creature *whistling*)

The nay:
- during my first playthrough I started stuck between the tower and trees; I guess terrain generation is faulty ^^"
- ending could be a bit more rewarding, especially compared to prologue; come on, we want more of Henri's glorious art! :3 (werewolf turning back to human is a good touch, though)
- pages could be a bit more visible

Cute, if short game overall.

Pretty short but I love the hand-drawn art.

Cool game! Art is cute, audio really blends in! It was quite a fun game, although a very short one!

This is lovely. The art is obviously very cute but the thing that really made this work for me was the way that the wolf would howl, giving me a breather as I was running around and also adding to the music.. I loved that!

Take all the stars for graphics!

Not exactly a fan of its super-simple gameplay, though. Perhaps new levels would have been nice?

I liked your concept. :D
Good audio. ^^'

Sometimes my character get stuck for a while.

PS: We have fixed our game, if you want to see it again. ^^
Thank you.
