Pretty cool platformer, but some checkpoints would be nice!

f4kethis 2016-04-18 04:54

I wish there was more of it. Love the animations.

jcmonkey 2016-04-18 05:00

nice game, reminds me of castlevania. i couldnt get the web versions to work, but the windows version works fine. in my opinion the combat is the only thing i had issues with. other then that nice game.

mukult 2016-04-18 05:01

Supercool platformer!
Love the level design too!! Animations are just perfect! :)

diewithdustin 2016-04-18 05:01

I'm not very good at these sorta games but this was great.

abaines 2016-04-18 05:09

Fun game with a nice presentation. Didn't complete it fully, I agree with the checkpoint suggestion.

sol_hsa 2016-04-18 05:23

Really nice, pretty and atmospheric. As others have noted, some checkpoints would be nice, and longer levels would be nice.

Some of the sound effects are so loud they clip which doesn't sound too nice.

I could easily see this become a bigger game with actual story and stuff =)

I adore the shapeshift transition and damage screen-effects

adamprack 2016-04-18 06:19

Nicely done! There are some good mechanics in there and a generally good sense of movement. Combat was decent enough, and the level was nicely put together. The damage effect was great. I would've liked a little smoother combat in human form, the music could use another pass to make it fit better, and the sound effects worked but could use improvement. It was still fun to play, though, even if I wanted more.

Your shapeshifting is top-notch. As everyone else said, some sort of checkpoint system would be great for this.

pietdagamer 2016-04-19 06:34

Top notch graphics and audio!

akirassasin 2016-04-19 13:21

Cool shapeshift and damage/death effects!
Also like the fact that you can attack while running.

mactinite 2016-04-19 16:50

Thanks for all the awesome feedback so far guys. I really appreciate it! I love this community <3

josearias 2016-04-19 18:38

It remembered mi a lot to Altered Beast. Very nice done!

tentacode 2016-04-20 10:05

Animations are sick! love the transition morphing effect! Cool music, though some sound effects are a bit painful too "crisp"

fumiko 2016-04-20 14:36

Nice graphics and solid platformer, the music reminded me on a game about robin hood i played on the nes back in the old days

holyblackcat 2016-04-20 14:36

Nice game!
Graphics is pretty good. Despite being too simple, it definitely has some nice style in it. Also, that shader effect on taking damage was fancy.
Sound is ok, but it could be heavily improved. I think it would sound a lot better if you would remove all high-pitched noises from effects using equalizer in Audacity or something similar.
Also, as others have mentioned, some checkpoints would be nice.
Good job overall!

hpearson2 2016-04-20 14:39

Loved the damage animation of screen! You get the ability to shape shift into dogie right before platforming section :(

jupiter_hadley 2016-04-20 15:14

Love the look of this game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/KyB-5ZqWXwk

rafaskb 2016-04-21 01:24

Awesome graphics and use of the theme! Reminds me of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

chaoslab 2016-04-21 08:48

That is some fun! :-)

egos 2016-04-22 07:33

very well polished fort a compo entri (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)
because of the mob rush in some zone i think too checkpoint will be nice

neontropics 2016-04-22 08:26

Nice! Very satisfying attack as the wolf, good graphics and *amazing* effects

maekeruu 2016-04-22 08:38

ahhh brings back the good 'ole castlevania feels... love this game... pls add savepoints so that players won't put down the controller when they die after significant progress... :) Good one bruh

endel 2016-04-22 08:46

Very solid gameplay, the movement difference between characters allows you to create clever levels. Loved the transition effect. Congrats!

humble_ray 2016-04-22 13:10

Amazing platformer game!I like the animations!

sheepsalamanderfox 2016-04-22 13:51

Sober and simple but very effective ! Nice looking animations !

pinkindian 2016-04-22 14:40

Neat game! I liked how the human form controlled. And the shapeshift effect was cool. Reminded me of Teleglich. Great work!

lostalloy 2016-04-23 00:07

I love this game! Fluid animation, cool music, neat hit effect on screen! Simply too good! :D

phocker 2016-04-23 02:15

this was a very well done game - great graphics and i loved the effect during shifting - i hope you included that in the source code :)

pirate_shell 2016-04-23 14:33

This was a good entry. The graphics style was quite intersting but simple. The screen effects did look really good and added a lot to the game feel. I enjoyed the music as well. The controls felt tight and the two forms were similar, yet different enough. The enemies were quite tough to defeat, but fun to do so, especially the wizard guys. Overall, solid entry!

griz 2016-04-23 17:27

Great entry with sweet gameplay. Are you planning on updating it in the future?

mactinite 2016-04-23 17:42

@everyone thanks for the feedback guys. Really love it.
@Griz I just recently patched it with bug fixes controller support and a former of a checkpoint system, but I might update it and expand it a bit in the future. Totally depends on the feedback I get here and other projects I happen to fall into.

linealgames 2016-04-23 22:29

Fun with great graphics and animations!

2016-04-24 17:53

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

mactinite 2016-04-25 05:48

@Freank Hey Thanks for checking it out! I just went through the process of putting my game up on your site. It was a little confusing at first. but here is the link:
http://www.indiexpo.net/en/games/lycanquest

Thanks!

mrmordem 2016-04-26 18:55

Nice game, i love the "low fi" sound effects like in old dos games, the graphics while simple were really nice and the music was good as well, a bit hard on the combat side with the "ghost" like ennemies but good game nonetheless.

I was able to play it and rate with the windows download, however in case you don't know I had this error while trying to play the web version on the LD page :

404 Not Found https://storage.googleapis.com/itchio/upload2/game/62188/190377

mactinite 2016-04-27 03:22

Hey MrMordem, thanks for playing! Unfortunately, looks like the error you got is related to how itch.io serves up their content. :/
