i really enjoyed the background and the stage! aside from the movement, i like the blood and the killing :P

This game looks GREAT. Graphics don't make a game, but still, this looks really spiffy, great job!!

Audio could have been executed better, perhaps with the right software, team members, etc. I did the audio on my team, so one tip I can give you in using Audacity would be using the "Noise Removal" tool in the "Effects" tab. Highlight your sound sample, select the noise removal dialogue box, click "get noise profile," select the removal tool again, then click preview to tinker with it. Click "okay" when satisfied.

One big flaw is how I bounce when running against the terrain - I try to clear a gap, but since I'm already airborne, I fall in, having to run the whole thing from square one with no one to slice.
The other big one is how victims stand in place. If they ran around, that would present more of a challenge, but the challenge lies mainly in the platforming, which is satisfying (save for the bouncing).

Thanks for the feedback!

I didn't went very far I'm afraid, although the game is pretty nice, but I got annoyed by what mooncalf mentionned, that is the fact we can't jump if a little bump in the field made you jump just a little bit, often making us fall in obvious pits, and restarting from the beginning...

Quite challenging platformer, close to theme. Cool music, nice and atmospheric art. I like parallax effect on background.

Nice platformer. Improve controller little and ready for stores

The attack animation looks neat!

Neat game! If you wanted to develop it further, the NPCs should probably be able to inflict damage of some kind.

Had some problems with physics, but good attempt!

Nice graphics. The animation is nice.
There is the jump problem near the pit. The little slope would stop player jump as player would be in air-state when they press SPACE.

The wolf looks nice. I had difficulty with the jumping in the beginning of the level. If the humans were more a challenge to kill, I think the game would have been more interesting and fun.

Werewolf games FTW!

Nice!

The bouncy terrain made jumping (and all other movement, for that matter) quite difficult. I found myself yearning for tighter movement and a less uneven terrain to move on. I love the artwork and simple music, though. The character animation was incredibly smooth and looked great.

Awesome concept, just need more work!

I don't like that you respawn all the way at the beginning of the level when you fall. Not bad though.
