WhereWolf by loet

[raw]
made by loet for LD35 (COMPO)
All the villagers are looking for the wolf (which so happens to be you). You have to "help with the search ;)". Shapeshift into the wolf to eat fellow villagers but avoid being spotted in wolf form. Go and feast!

It has been a while since I made a game so I gave this one a shot. My goal was to make pixel art that I can be proud of after finishing an amazing tutorial by uheartbeast.

I didn't really get to building levels or even testing them but got a game done with art that I like. So mission accomplished. Hope you can find a little enjoyment in it.

Thanks for playing.

Interesting puzzle game. I was confused at first and kept dying. Once I figured out that you position and timing was crucial, I chomped down on all of the people :)

I would suggest adjusting the graphics in the post comp version. It would be nice to see more contrast between movable spaces.

Nice idea for a 2d turn based game. There is not a lot to do so it wasn't as fun as expected but the graphics are really well done

I enjoyed the turn based mechanics and I think there was a fair bit of strategy involved considering how simple they were. It was a fun little game and it is nice to see another entry make use of roguelike movement, other than my own xD The art was simple, yet good looking, but I do think more contrast between the spaces where you can and cannot move would have been nice. I did manage to bug out the game, I believe by spamming the shapeshift. I could walk around as the wolf and enter the villagers' vison without losing. I figure the game displayed the wolf graphics while in actuality I was still in my human form. Just a little thing to look out for, but overall - really good entry!

The game idea is nice, but I was not able to eat no one, the game is very hard.

haha this is what I was looking for, I mean, shapeshifting is a werewolf thing, it's cliche but it's great.

Reminded me of the jumping puzzles in undertale. Lots of interesting depth created in the dynamics. Nice pixel art. :)

Very interesting puzzle! It took me a while to figure out how to kill a villager on the levels. It looks like I couldn't figure it out with the tutorial only.
But very nice entry!

This was awesome. But super difficult puzzles. Really like the mechanic. Strange how you could move diagonally, but not attack diagonally? Wish you could get to moar levels :)

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

Good little logical puzzle game. I would enjoy seeing more levels on a post-compo version. :)

Well done. This concept has a lot of potential!

It was an interesting concept, and I liked the idea of movement and shapeshifting. Unfortunately, I know that the music was probably just cobbled together, but maybe in post-comp versions it could have a little variety in the loop? Also there's a bug on Level 2 where the 2 villagers at the bottom get stuck facing each other wich makes killing only one of them impossible.
