Really nice project! Gives me Hotline Miami vibes. I think the mechanics are solid, and the overall gameplay feels really smooth. I didn't finish all levels, but the ones I did were great!

Wow! That is actually ready to play game! I really enjoyed it, hilarious idea :D

I like the graphics, music and transformation mechanic. Had a bit a trouble at the start though :D

rafael-garcez 2021-10-04 19:58

brilliant gameplay idea!

Absolutely loved the concept of this game! Amazing graphics. Amazing Game. Amazing Job!

Great work! I had fun but I think the spamming was a bit too much, especially on the bonus level but that was really the only place I found it to be necessary.

A fun idea and some well thought-out levels! A solid entry, keep it up!

matthew-roelle 2021-10-05 18:42

I loved it! The music was great and it was a very unique concept. Great implementation of the theme as well. I could see this being a really fun puzzle game.

metal gear solid: shopping edition :) Fun game, well done

Nice mechanic to have the wolf be faster than the human form! Very hard imho, difficult to keep "saving up" enough human time, and I did not bother with the space bar spamming.

belickim 2021-10-05 19:04

Great game! I really liked the idea of a sneaking game without actual killing :D

gus-goucher 2021-10-05 19:58

I really like the "stealth" mechanics, super unique and well executed! Graphics are solid as well!

areywarlord 2021-10-05 20:29

Nice stealth game. =)

Though I don't know why that "spam space" mechanic.

And sometimes NPC can spot me from where I don't even see them, please don't do this to me. %)

Stealth mechanics are super fun and well executed.

ollieoa 2021-10-06 06:40

Overall a solid entry! Well done

louiejams 2021-10-06 07:46

Good entry, art was clear and gameplay worked well! :D

The game is very interesting, stealth mechanics works really well and the whole gameplay is fun, and due to quick levels, even if you fail multiple times, it doesn't get frustrating. The whole concept of being a werewolf in a shopping mall is really hilarious and it fits this jam's theme really well. Artwork is also very good, I love pixel art games so it's a huge plus for me :)

The only thing I could think of improving is that due to the "time counting" nature of the game, it would be good to have some countdown or at least "Press space to start the round" after seeing your initial position on the new map, so it would be easier to beat your own time and try to get a high score. But this is actually a really small thing to be honest :smile:

The game feels complete and polished, I like it!

I enjoyed playing that a lot! For a moment I though that it would be nice to have some info, when I got all products and where to go after I collected everything, but then I realized that I'm just an idiot and the info is on the left side of the screen XD

Great job on the game!

BTW. how on earth you got so good times on each mission ;)

jerem-watts 2021-10-08 00:25

Fantastic work on hitting the theme! Did a really good job of teaching the mechanics along the way too, nintendo tier stuff there. Even the buttons were intuitive! That's always super important to me as a player so I'm surprised I found all the important buttons without looking into any how-to stuff. Going to have to rate this one pretty high for the theme specifically for sure!

edoardo-talamini 2021-10-08 09:22

Really cool and original premise, I am pretty bad at this kind of games but I enjoyed it nontheless ;)

robbietaco 2021-10-08 18:39

Fun concept, well excecuted!

kr4ft3r 2021-10-08 20:25

Great stuff, you came up with original concept and even managed to do all those levels. The flow would be better if after failing you could retry level without having to use mouse to click the button, some of the buzz is lost that way. And, after playing this game, I decided to be nicer to werewolves I run into.

joonamo 2021-10-10 13:21

Great and challenging game! Having to mash space really made me empathize the werewolf trying his best to stay in human form.

A very minor complaint: I wish there was button for restarting, now I had to reach for my mouse. All in all, a great jam game! Thanks for the web build!

blake-mullin 2021-10-10 15:30

This is a fun twist on stealth games, managing your human bar and learning how much of a window you have to shop is very fun and satisfying to pull off. I really like the touch that you move much faster as a werewolf.

chillertyp 2021-10-10 16:54

GTA 1 and 2 style - nice! :v:

ryjcio 2021-10-10 17:54

Congrats on such a fun mechanic! I couldn't resist playing one more level. I like art style, it reminds me a bit of Hot Line Miami.

Ragequit the bonus level... controls just feel too janky to be able to spam spacebar efficiently while ALSO holding down K to shop (maybe if I'd remembered the other control was E, I would have done better, but instead I kept either pressing L or transforming unwantedly with J). Control layout + the people being "sticky" if you accidentally bump into them during their patrols is my main complain about this game. Not sure how other beat it without spamming spacebar; it was a necessity for me. Didn't feel great on my hands, spamming space while trying to use WASD, so again the physical layout of the controls leaves a lot to be desired; maybe arrow keys for movement with space to spam and I don't know, right CTRL or right shift for picking up groceries? Or just a way for the player to change key bindings. Also wish the retry button had a keyboard shortcut; very annoying to take my hands off of the werewolf positionings to click "retry" every 5 seconds. Otherwise, a good little stealth game!

Wow! So many levels!
