Wow I absolutely love the reload mechanic, it adds a ton of challenge

Had a lot of fun with this! Really difficult but it definitely felt like any mistakes made were my own.
Beautiful visuals, and a tense scenario.

Pretty good game. It reminds me of something I played a few years back called "Reanimator". Very challenging while still being fair about things.

Also makes me wonder what these guys did to tick off that many werewolves. :)

I like it. Just too hard for me.

Very cool concept. It's quite hard but I like the challenge.

Might look like a simple game, but there are some genuinely interesting ideas in the gameplay. Glad I checked it out!

Very fun, the reload mechanic makes it hard but fair. I really like the graphics.

The Werewolfs are shapeshifters
Cool game after time reloading is not fast enough.

Very interesting idea :)I like the climate.

Really neat game! I included it in my video compliation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/NeUaByS_1JI

Nice sidescroller!

dkoding 2016-04-18 16:12

I see what you did there. :-)
Quite difficult but fun.

Really cool game! The background art and gameplay are utterly fantastic, I only feel that the werewolf sprites and UI let it down a little bit (but hey, it's Ludum Dare).

Keep up the fantastic work!

One of the most fun I played so far, I like the moving background, and it's very well balanced in terms of dificulty. I also like the art style.

Had a lot of fun with this. I wish that the first level had been a bit shorter so I could have gotten the excitement of the upgrade stage earlier - I had died a few times and almost gave up.

wg_phancock 2016-04-19 07:58

Wow, this was challenging. The art was fun and definitely reminded me of classics like Oregon Trail.

I think the game might be improved by slightly shorter levels, so you can get to the fun of the upgrades a bit more often.

Fun game, some music would add a lot it tho.

The reload-shoot mechanic was very well balanced, as were the enemies. Barrels were a little tough to both shoot and then get the pickup, but guess that's part of the skill of the game.

Took me a while to survive one night, and looks like a nice idea to give the game a bit more depth/longevity. Guess in an expanded version, you could add people to your party/cart, add new weapons and all the other trappings of an RPG

I love the graphics: Parallax scrolling, the motion of the sky, the horse animation.

Gameplaywise there is also a lot more depth than meets the eye. The upgrade mechanics, the obstacles that force the player to keep in the middle and having to shoot the barrels for bonuses.

For me, personally the difficulty ramps up too much. I upgraded reload and damage in the first night and stood no chance in the second night.

Reloading on RMB would be cool, or at least E instead of R, since R is too far away from WASD, especially since the player needs it constantly.

Some spooky music would really augment the experience, as would better and more sound effects.

Overall great entry!

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

souperstrawer 2016-04-26 15:30

@Freank Sure, feel free to :)
