Made by a two-man team for the Ludum Dare 33 jam.
Update (31/08): Added a post-jam version, with hopefully less bugs!
Trivia: If you spell out Urd's name in the title, you get "U r d Monster", which is the theme for LD33. Yay puns!

Web version worked for me.
I had some collision bugs but despite that the game is enjoyable.
I really liked the graphics and music!
Great work!
The music was nice and the animation well worked. You got an nice idea there, would have been great to see more! :)
good job.
The game was way too dark (apart from the guards flashlights, which was way too bright). The light model that you used for the flashlight didn't really match the art style. The movement of the NPCs felt a bit wrong, I can't really tell why.
Good job nonetheless. Stealth games are really hard to pull off. Keep polishing it!
Sometimes the monster form just bugs and doesn't move unless you go back to the girl-form.
You could reduce the car's collision box a little or put them closer when they are next to each other (i got a game over trying to escape the cops trough 2 cars as the girl. Tragic T.T).
Adding a bit more frames on the arms of the girl's side walk animation could make it look more fluid.
By the way, awesome music and nice use of Yo.
Nice entry, congrats!
I really did like the music and the general concept though.
The monster kind of looks like a mashup of Toejam & Earl.
My biggest complaint would be that it's often not overly clear where you're expected to go or what you ought to do. Apart from that and the things others mentioned, it's alright.
- Be mindful of using arrow keys on a web build. Up and Down arrows might end up scrolling the page.
- The game's framerate differs from the web to the Windows version, as evident by the scrolling text speed.
- I got stuck in place a few times. Not sure if that's common.
- Groovy music!
- Text was scrolling to quikly for me to read. In future try to use scroll text as I press down arrow
- Cages were often out of screen, searching for it was painful
- When I died(last level) I was respawned at the end of elvel before. Why?
- Game wasn't really challenging
- As for the art it's obvious there is a talent here but I feel like the items have been made originally smaller and then rescalled x2. This give not the best results
Overall: Game has some nice ideas, changing human2monster, monster2human, knocking to get guards attention, knocking down walls. The levels are too simple however for player to play with all introduced mechanics.
