First I am getting attacked and killed, I go to walk with WASD and it doesn't work, so I quickly come back to check the keybindings and go back and realize they are all over the keyboard, so I go through and rebind them and finally start running away from things murdering me on the first screen and then stamina runs out really quickly and the base ground speed is unbearably slow (not to mention I still have things chasing and killing me.) And lastly the jump comes out a solid half a second after I press the button so there's an awkward.... pause... then I jump, makes all the platforming so... stiff...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's really a shame since it looks like a lot of work was put into it and it could be fun :("},{"author_name":"lanestp","author_uid":"49246","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 12:18pm","epoch":1461067980,"text":"Really beautiful and fun game!

It's also surprisingly filled with content for a LD game and it generally works pretty well!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The controls are a little confusing, though. Also, the default mappings for keyboard are hard to use, and for some reason remapping didn't work for me (the key field was saying &quot;(text)&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, those wolves on the first screen are really annoying =x\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice game!"},{"author_name":"unit684","author_uid":"38972","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 12:50pm","epoch":1461069900,"text":"Just finished it!

The Spirit has been displaced in an intially unreachable spot (above The Shrine); you need to fly to reach it.\r\n- If you find the game too hard, why not try to swim across the lake as a tanuki! He can struggle across without fainting. There's an extremely useful form on the other side.\r\n- Mouse can climb some walls. When jumping, try tapping down mid-air to get more distance.\r\n- Fennec and Bird have melee attacks that use Stamina, but the Tanuki and Otter can throw magical leaves that uses Mana.\r\n- Checkpoints are crucial. They restore HP and Stamina as well as keep track in case you faint.\r\n- HP and Stamina upgrades may be found if you look around...\r\n\r\nFinal Notes:\r\n\r\n- It's been an amazing 3 days working together on this project\r\n- There may be flaws and bugs, but all in all we're proud of it.\r\n- Happy Ludum Dare 35, Everyone!\r\n\r\n<3 Chip and Jimun\r\n\r\nPlaythru Video:\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=903jqq2S1eY","title":"Nukki the Shapeshifter"}
