White spot == bunny
red spot == you -> lil red riding hood
blue spot == big wolf
orange spot == carrot

Explanation:
The theme says it is dangerous to go alone.
The solution for is to take this..
You take the carrot to bait the rabbit into going with you.
You use this to keep yourself protected from danger.

Pretty cool, although it's a bit difficult on my track pad. There's a suspicious percentage of rabid rabbits though.

lol

Some hmm.. game strategy advice:
Guide the mouse pointer(cursur) instead of the character
The obvious solution is not always the best one.

@Milo :
I will make a keyboard controlled version soon.. for Jam
Thanks for the comments

Fits into the theme well - I really like the idea of using an enemy as bait - it's like it's dangerous to go alone, but take this thing that could potentially kill you if you aren't careful. I would like to see a better execution of the idea in the future. Graphics are functional. Controlling with the mouse is kind of weird, and when the wolf ate the rabbit on level two, the game froze for me though.

Nice work on getting it done in 7 hours, though.

@mintman : Thanks, Did you try again? (Is it a reoccuring bug)? It might be flash player version.. (10.1)
Thanks for the comments.. I'll add keyboard control for the Jam tonight.
I will definitely like to recreate it with better balance.

@jsmars & athanazio:
Thank you for the compliments :)
It's highly motivating.

Woah, I had lots of fun and lost some nerves at 2 maps :D
Great game!

papercutdoom 2011-05-05 06:02

Great game, very simple, but somehow extremely fun :P

I was eaten by a wolf.

endurion 2011-05-07 06:26

Nice idea, but seems a tad buggy. The game got stuck in the second stage when the wolf ate the bunny.

elbowroom 2011-05-07 10:51

@Endurion: Is this a reoccuring bug? Does it happen every time the wolf eats the bunny? also. . what version of flash do you have?

thristhart 2011-05-07 17:48

A surprisingly fun game. Just when I'd thought I'd mastered the concept your level design threw me for a loop. Good stuff.

As far as community goes, you posted about the game, but didn't have a demo - acceptable seeing as you didn't enter until 10 hours left. Overall, good participation.

badgerpriest 2011-05-07 22:48

It freezes during the second stage for me. I have version 10,2,154,27.

elbowroom 2011-05-08 01:06

@BadgerPriest
Thanks! I was now able to recreate the bug :)
I have no idea what causes it though:) (and am not allowed to fix it for the compo) strangely refreshing somehow fixed the issue for me :/ I will check the code

elbowroom 2011-05-08 10:34

Yeah, after doing some thinking.. I figure you can take the carrot again after you take it for the first time..
And that is more likely to happen in the second stage..
And it causes the game to freeze..

Thanks for all the help.
Hope I do better next LD

Very fun mechanic despite the simplicity!

arielsan 2011-05-10 13:19

I didn't take the carrot and I won anyways :S

It is an interesting gameplay.

Good luck with the compo

It bothered me that as soon as my cursor left the green that the character would stop. Apart from that I think it fits the theme pretty good.
