Great game! I like the originality in the puzzle elements. Really been keeping me interested. The graphics are great and I love the balancing act of keeping your population in check and protecting them from enemies. The sound effects evoke a retro vibe, and they were well done. Some SNES-style music would really take it over the edge. The link to the theme was a little tenuous - maybe to make it a little closer the villagers could be turned into other monsters (e.g. vampires) that would have to be dealt with differently, and still others could be combined into friendly monsters (e.g. a four-square = a giant, a four-in-a-row = a snake-person) that would add to the depth of the game.It would also be cool if the placement of your villagers by gender affected who became a werewolf more clearly. Overall an addicting and really fun game with a lot of polish (I love the attention to detail with the backgrounds and everything). Thanks a lot for your entry! Hope you do great in the compo! :D

I like how you managed to pulled out an interesting puzzle! Cute graphics btw :)
Fun! Very inventive and intriguing. This would be amazing as a multiplayer game, but is super fun as is!

Fun Game! 16 is my best score. I couldn't figure out exactly what turns people into werewolves.
Well done!

Extreme birth control :D
Very cool game! The concept is quite original and the end result is a fun little puzzle. Liked the graphics a lot, as well.
Great job!
Good game! Agreed with @ladybenko on the fact that you chose a puzzle game and got something playable! I *know* it is not easy to come up with new puzzle mechanichs that work ;)
I like the art and I appreciate that it's possible to start playing without reading any instructions. That's very important for me in a LD!

My journey through this game:
223 moons and I still don't understand the rules really well.
I guess the goal is to keep some kind of balance since I usually get to game over quite quickly if I try to 'fight' the werewolves.
Then I read the description and instructions. I manage to get to game over in 10 moons. Not really sure if I really won.
But, It was really interesting to explore, figuring out the pattern. The graphics and little polish details really made me stick to the game trying again and again.
At first I was like cool an old-fashioned game of sweet baby making, but poor attention to birth control quickly got me. So I decided to take a more traditional approach and only birth in a need-to basis. Some how that really works.
I haven't been able to grasp the rules for werewolf generation, or is that just random, but by keeping population super restricted, and only killing werewolves when strictly needed I was able to keep going for more than 200 moons and felt I could keep going on forever. I believe there might be an infinite somewhere in the interplay of the rules, but then again I haven't quite grasped them.
All aside, I think there's something really cool in your ruleset that if polished could result in a brilliant game(either a 1p puzzle or a pvp kind of thing). Anyways, good work.

Unity player tries to allocate too much memory and doesn't run the game (Win7/Firefox).
I'll try the windows download instead.

Okay, windows works. It's a good concept, although I wasn't really sure what my task was. If it is to fill the board as fast as possible that is mainly up to luck, since it depends on how many werewolves appear.
Then I tried to hold out as long as possible, which was the more interesting mechanic but apparently not what you had in mind.
The graphics are good and I like the concept, maybe it could be fleshed out a little more.
Nice idea, balanced game, really nice, well done
Wow, really nice game. Quite adictitve, with nice sounds and simple gameplay. Nice concept, good job!
Original idea and good pixel graphics ;)
Un juego muy interesante. Tiene pocas reglas pero a la vez da pie a mucho. Muy buena idea y muy buen trabajo.
Very easy to understand mechanic and also well balanced game.
Also pixel graphics and sounds are really cool, and all the game are in perfect harmony-
After some plays I would reach 24 moons.
Great work, Mr Fanakito of Triana, evenmore for a compo entry.
Great game, it is a really funny mechanic that uses well the theme. Graphics are cool too.
However, I don't understand what are the requirements to win or lose.
Interesting mechanics and rules. It's really enjoyable and addictive.
But I missed some mechanics to clear the board and stretch the game.
Good job!
