Yes - I'm new to game jams!

How does your game fit the theme?
My game is an Endless Runner type game about starting and maintaining a pack of werewolves by transforming humans and avoiding obstacles, if you lose there is no problem, just start and grow/run your pack again.

ohhhh this was FUN! the sound effects are great and i loved the gameplay overall, it's a really great and specially fun game

Developer

Thanks! Im glad you liked it!

Lovely concept! I feel like the birds were a bit hard to react to and sometimes appeared at times where there was already another obstacle so you couldn't do anything but get hit, but other than that it's simple yet enjoyable, neat!

Developer

Thanks for playing! That’s definitely something I’ll look into improving for smoother gameplay.

Nicely executed game for your first time! I like the concept, I think it's very creative to have extra lives in form of new pack members! I reached high score of 60. Good work!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the concept, and 60 is an impressive score!

Nice runner game. My main nitpick is that you might want to reverse the scrolling direction of the background to have smoother parallax

I started getting a lil motion sick at the faster speeds w/ how the background was moving and was a lil hard to see clearly

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and the feedback! I'll definitely try to tweak it to make the visual movement feel smoother.

Hey, great work on your first game jam! Tried to get a high score but im so bad at these types of games. Art is really nice but I will say that some of the obstacles blend with the background so it makes it much harder to notice. I do love the idea that you can get more lives as you transform humans, which makes the game less punishing as the obstacles get more difficult and the game gets quicker. Great work overall!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah, im planning to tweak the background to make the obstacles stand out more. Appreciate the feedback!

Having the player be able to add werewolves as they play that pretty much act like extra lives is really cool. Really fun twist to this kind of game. Also sprites and music are good as well.

Great game ! Love the art and the music ! Awesome for a first jam ! I would just add an option to jump higher or something, it happened to me that I had eagle and stone at the same time and was doomed to get hit ! Overall its very good and I wish you all the best for the future !

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, I actually tried to implement that, but ran into some issues and decided to leave it out for now

Music is great and the concept reminds me of zombie tsunami which is a game I used to love

Oh and I would love to hear what you think of my game as well if you have the chance

Developer

Thanks, im glad you liked it, and i would love to try your game too!

the twist made it a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be, the motion of the werewolves jumping one after the other was very satisfying and well done, good job!

Developer

Thanks, that was something that i struggled with a lot, im glad you had fun playing it!

Beautiful runner! Great idea. Only thing gave me a bit of motion sickness when the screen moves too fast

Developer

Sorry, maybe I should reduce the max speed.

Getting more lives as you progress is a very cool addition to an otherwise simple (not a bad thing) concept. I like it, good game. Also the music slaps :D 

Developer

Thanks, im glad you enjoyed it!

This music is so cool! Good game man! 

Developer

Thanks man!

Fun and nice mechanics! I had problems with the visuals being a bit laggy but other than that I liked it!

Developer

Sorry, i think it is a resolution issue that i could not fix in time, but im glad you had fun playing it

Fun twist on the genre! I like the visualization of additional lives, that's creative. I think a consistent art style and generally not using mixed pixel sizes would boost the visuals, but the vibes are there! Solid first submission!

Developer

Thanks for playing it!

Maybe in the future i will continue to improve and fix things.
