The wolf runs so fast it's almost impossible to control...
I played the OS/X version, don't know if that's the problem...

Great audio and graphics, but just can't control the wolf! He rushes to the top left corner and just zaps around the place.

zappi 2012-12-17 20:29

@Crimsoneer, sorry, but what version did you try?

jlauener 2012-12-17 21:35

Hey that's funny our games almost have the same name :D

I loved the music and sounds with the hectic wolf flying around. At first I didn't realize that you can kill the hunters until the first time I died so the second time was better; though it's difficult to control and know what's happening at all time it's very satisfying when you catch people ha

@Alex, I basically had the same problem as Crimsoneer on the OS/X version.

crimsoneer 2012-12-17 22:26

@Alex Windows 64 bit

So much fun!!! Music and atmosphere are fantastic!

bensonance 2012-12-18 10:15

Awesome concept! The slow intro combines with the music perfectly.

The zipping around thing could be due to not using "* Time.deltaTime" when applying increments in Unity, so people with crazy-fast hardware will get a crazy-fast game. Anyway, that aside, I found this entry highly amusing. :)

Awesome game! We like it very much. Good luck!

amoaeba-junior 2012-12-18 20:12

Pretty interesting ideia, but as said above, the wolf was wayyyyy to fast. Playing on Win64bit here

bereuge 2012-12-18 20:19

This game almost had me laughing, very fun and awesome song :)
Sometimes it gets laggy though!

fhoenig 2012-12-18 21:09

Super fun! The first game I tried here that got me hooked for a while.
I kike the crazy speed.

@Crimsoneer @zedutchgandalf guys, thanks for your feedback! Can you please try it again? It seems like we've actually fixed this bug in our post-compo entry :)

zappi 2012-12-19 09:07

@Dir3kt aha, what a coincidence! :D

zappi 2012-12-19 09:09

@rustybroomhandle thanks for a tip, you were right about the problem :) try a post-compo version, please, it seems like we've fixed it :)

zappi 2012-12-19 09:10

@Amoaeba Junior try a post-compo, please, it's a bit more playable now ;)

zappi 2012-12-19 09:14

Hey everyone, thanks for your constructive feedback! That's actually the main reason why I love LD community so much :)

delahee 2012-12-19 20:32

I had fun. And I don't really know why :)

It ran very ridiculously quickly on my mac, the wolf would walk around slowly during "loading..." and then once the level "started" would zip around at warp speed. Actually, I liked this, it was the best thing about the game, it gave things a frenetic arcade-y feel.

I did find there was a dominant strategy— because the enemies tended to run away as far as possible, and because the zippy controls were hard to control, if I just slung around the wall edges I would pick up most of the grandmas/riding hoods (who were all perpetually stuck up against the wall, trying to "get away").

I felt icky, about all the murder, and the blood. Since the point of this LD is to be the villain, I suppose that means your game was effective.

I never figured out what was happening with the "badges" in the upper right corner.

How much inspiration did you take from Duck Sauce here?

zappi 2012-12-24 15:44

@mcc wow, thanks for such a detailed review!

I have to admit that in this case a hard to control character was done so on purpose, but in a compo version there's a bug that made it too uncontrollable on modern computers, but some people liked it :)

A dominant strategy exists, but not the one you've mentioned, that one is a bug actually :)

Those badges display how much of the bonus you have left, a percentage.

As for Duck Sauce question, a sample only I guess, the track was composed in several hours on Saturday night exclusively for LD :)

Nice game but something is realy wrong with the trees , another thing the environment seems realistic unlike the characters which give a strange look

mistakoo 2013-01-07 18:52

Fantastic audio, probably the first entry that utilizes audio as the main aesthetic feature.

It's fun to maneuver away from the bullets. The tree effect is pretty neat too.
