I've always thought ice hockey could use a few more bears. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This was fun to play with potential for some interesting gameplay if all the shapeshift classes were implemented.

New animals and powers are coming !\r\n\r\n** Also working on a way to get the WebGL (html5) version up and running, I'm almost there, I have some sprites rendering problems. \r\n\r\n\r\nHow to play :\r\nControls up down left right : W,S,A,D\r\nUse Left Shift to shapeshift into the animal of the selected player\r\nRight click to attack \r\nRight click to shoot (if you have the puck) ( Hold the button to aim with the mouse pointer) \r\nPress Q or E to cycle between your players when you\r\nare not in control of the puck.\r\nScroll Up and Down to Zoom in and out\r\n\r\nBear : Slow but powerful, can push enemy\r\nBird : Can jump over enemy\r\nCat : Fastest player\r\nHuman : Normal speed and strength\r\nMouse : Fast and tiny but very weak\r\n\r\nFixed the AI, it was flipping directions very fast + Fixed the crash to desktop bug.","title":"Shapeshifting Ice Hockey"}
