Dahu Hunt by Fractale

[raw]
made by Fractale for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

This game is all about hunting a mystical creature in the French Alpes, The Dahu! This animal has smaller legs on one side because he is always chiming mountains. If you whistle close enough they fall! Have Fun!

tips: You can sneak out by drawing his attention by whistling on the other side.

Interesting little game, very innovative ideas, hunting in the horizontal board game is great, if you can add some attack methods and monsters, it will be very interesting.

Graphics are really nice, and I really like the idea! But I struggled a bit with the controls: the player slows down when jumping against walls, making it difficult to reach higher platforms.

Oh wow, that was so fun! I like a bit of the "puzzle" in this platformer (strategically whistling to turn Dahus around). Also, falling Dahu animation is hilarious!

I found the game really challenging but I love the general concept of it :)

Definitely interesting. My favorite part is probably the art. The style isn't consistent, but it still looks very good and high quality. I also really like the stealth elements, they work quite well here. The whistle is very fun to use which is good. The sound effects are also well used, I know what all the sounds mean and where they're coming from. The jumping could use some work, I feel like it could benefit a lot from some more fine tuning. It would also probably help the platforming a lot if there was another piece of movement tech, maybe something that makes a lot of sound to make it very risky to use. The game in general though was very fun and cool, I really liked it as a whole. The theme is also spot on, I felt very unstable.

I really like the art, especially on the goat, superb job on that front. Only one thing seems a bit out of place there - the goat is made out of smaller pixels than the rest of the stuff, and it makes her an odd man out, not really fitting to the rest of the environment. But maybe it's exactly like that on purpose!

SFX are just the bomb. The sound of a goat seeing you is so great (along with that awesome animation) that I just kept running into the first goat on purpose for a time!

The whistling mechanics are quite cool, and I had fun with the game. It's a really solid entry and a great jam job.

Made it to the top! Honestly laughed when the metal gear solid sound effect played. Fun little goat game.

I did not know this kind of animal :-D
Very nice idea. Mix of stealth and jump and run and crazy animal.
Took me a while to understand what to do.
I found the easter egg!

nice art! nice gameplay, nice music, maybe the collisions of that underground area would be improved but nothing that removes the shine of the game, it's cool to use an unknown folcloric figure like this dahu that i never heard about before, good work

The sprites for the Dahus and the statues at the end are taken from MappleStory, and the sound when you are seen is from Metal Gear Solid. I'm guessing other graphics and sounds were from other sources. Rules say that if you did not make all the graphics and sounds during the 72 jam period, you have to disable ratings for these categories.

Fun game, I am from France too and love the legend of the Dahu ^^
I would have love to have more consistent graphcis, but sneaking behind the dahu was fun, well done!

I like it so much and have no idea why. Maybe the sounds and music. Also very nice level design!

Nice ambience! The art is a bit missmatched, the gameplay mechanic seemed a bit weird at first but after I figured it out it was quite easy and fun.
I found the easter egg :)

Fun and quite challenging game! Love the whistling mechanic (after I I found out the controls especially the mouse click for whistling ;-) ).
You must put the controls at the game page (most people - including me - click away at initial help screen without realizing that is a help screen).
Excellent area and sound!
Great job!

Cool game ! I wish you would have made more levels or a longer one. I have found an easter egg but I did not understand what to do with it.

Si tu as une envie de destruction, viens tester notre jeu ^^

Nice game, but you should have opted-out of the "graphics" and "audio" voting categories.
If you didn't create the assets, you shouldn't let people vote on them.
