The story of Takashi Nouke

Read the journal and scenario texts if you care what's going on.
move? arrow keys
shift? yes
Technical notes
——————————————————————————
- Tested on Firefox, Chromium and Chrome. Runs considerably faster on the latter two.
- For some people the sound doesn't seem to be playing. No idea why. As a workaround you could access the audio file directly: http://moc.sirtetris.com/ldd35/bgm/bgm.ogg
General notes
——————————————————————————
- I think giving the villagers more interesting (and/or consistent) behaviour as well as adding one or two more game mechanics would have been nice. Oh well ... it's something. :)
Fun facts
——————————————————————————
- Takashi's surname, 能化, is written with the characters for ability (能) and change (化). His spirit (the reddish thing you control) is made up of serveral 化 characters overlayed.
- The background image, although pixelated and upscaled to unrecognizability, started out as a large 狸 (tanuki) character. Tanuki are raccoon dogs known in Japanese folklore to have shapeshifting powers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanuki#In_folklore_and_tradition
- The background sound was actually recorded in Japan. I just put my camera next to an open window, recorded and caught some loud talking in the distance. Slowed it down a lot, repeated it, done.
- Best score I was able to get so far is 30.

about the gameplay i tried its very hard and you need to be very accurate with the spirit to get results(they shift back too fast and when i get just a little far).
couldn't go pass the first level. took me awhile to get i need tho shift them first at the start before they get too close.
it was hard to click on the game over it kept on selecting (highlighting in blue)the text and the img.
but i loved the game idea.
Great job! Game idea is nice and game gameplay took from you some minutes to play it!
For people who find it difficult: the key is keeping the villagers in groups of 3 or more, so that you can lure away indiviruals, turn them into women and then lure them back into the group.
Anyway, thanks for playing my game! I hope you don't mind if I put a link to your video of my game in my game's description :)
The presentation is a bit minimal, but I feel it works with the mood of the game.
Good job!
