Very good Game (it was great to see how the game was created on twitch.tv)

Solid entry, might have been nice if the collision detection was a little sharper.

This was fun to play, however I wish there had been more granularity when it came to the player interacting with the ghouls. Also I had no clue when my life was decreasing or how the power ups worked. Otherwise this was a good solid game that fit the theme perfectly.

Pretty neat idea!

Was kinda turned off at the start but then just kept on playing. The combos are pretty cool.
i killed 673 ghouls

The actual game mechanic for shapeshifting was pretty cool, but the game became stale pretty quickly.

The game looks REALLY, REALLY well, plays really well, feels well, and sounds well. The whole game is really good except that I got frustrated with the controls because they were challenging, but I think that's what you were going for and it worked. Overall good game.

Loved the animations and the fact that it's a GIANT SMASHING BEAR. Was cool when I got the giant white bear which was even more full of smashing than the brown bear. Didn't really get the orbs/panel display but enjoyed the game anyway. Overall I liked this game a lot due to the fun of BEARS SMASHING stuff.

@Haighstrom, You can hold attack while holding a different direction (up, down, left, or right) to become one of 4 different bears. Each is associated with it's own resource. Sorry I didn't have time for a tutorial to explain that. The display panel thing was made pretty last minute, too.

Nice idea with different directions and colors pickups

I really liked the panda's round kick :D
The game is fun!

Nice one! Is there an end to it? I got swarmed to death. I like the different shapes with their unique attacks. I wasn't able to find a good strategy though.

How do you pronounce your game anyway? Ludum Bah-ray? ;)

I hope you continue to bear down on this game.

differentname 2016-04-21 03:47

@Cerno_b There's no end, just a ghouls killed counter. I'm thinking I should have had the enemies come in waves, so you could at least say you got to wave 10 or whatever. I pronounce it Ludum Bear (Bear like the animal), but I understand some people prefer Bah-ray. :)

great entry ;D it does have one of those gameplay flaws of being able to go around in circles and let enemies pile up in the center and just taking them all out at once but other than that the theme was prevalent and mechanics were unique.

1037 ghouls killed. Pretty fun game. Polar bear was my favorite. Cool variations on combos.

Nice shapeshifting mechanic, but I wish there was more variety. Well done though.

jakass 2016-04-22 17:25

cool!

Super fun game, it kept me engaged a long time and I managed to kill 589 ghouls at my third try. I also loved the funny title, the pretty unique artstyle and the music. The mechanics are simple but super efficient, which is what I love as a designer and a player, gamefeel is really cool thanks to the VFX and SFX and there is a nice level of polish.

nice game! :)) it's interesting as well... solid entry

The pun! Oh the pun!
Swiping swarms of ghouls is great fun, and the increasing difficulty made sure I got swarmed to death eventually.
The four direction meter is really innovative, and have to love panda mode!
