Play a Wolf! Hunt prey but beware the other wolves.
Controls: WASD
Unfortunately this game is rather minimal due to lack of time. More enemies and prey with better tactics were planned, as well as starting your own wolf pack (hence the initial title "Wolf Pack") but these features aren't finished yet. Maybe I'll continue working on it and upload a post mortem version.
Also please leave a comment if the website is unreachable. I have no idea how much bandwidth it has to offer.
Changelog: - Fixed dead animals still moving - Fixed dead hunters still dealing damage
Cool game! I love these sorts. Minimalist graphics come across very well. And the AI might be simple but it still felt intelligent. Good job for such a limited amount of time.
I did not give this the highest stats, but I enjoyed it. I feel as though with some time and work on the controls and setting that it could be a lot more fun. In a way, it is another version of feeding frenzy, with the poop included.
@TheMonsterFromTheDeep Does your character move around on its own? That shouldn't be happening. Dying from moving to much is intended though, you're starving. Catch and eat some prey (the green ones) to prevent that.
It took me a little while to understand what was going on, but when I did, I liked the minimalist style. Am I supposed to be able to eat wolves that are feeding?
Enjoyed the game, but I think some sounds would be awesome here. The game is good, but the total silence kind annoys me a bit. Though it is a really interesting game. Nicely done!!
I really liked playing this game. At first, it was highly difficult because of how crafty the green dots were at avoiding the player character, but after some time I was able to grow larger, and thus, harder to avoid. Very fun gameplay. The game does align with the theme (though I, having a small screen, did have to scroll a little bit to see the bottom :P ) and so it got five stars for that as well. I'm not sure how innovative this game is, though; it seems to work on the same logic as games such as Katamari Damacy: roll into smaller objects to get bigger. Since it wasn't especially innovative, it gets a three. Where this game really shone through were the graphics (minimalist in a way that made sense) and fun (the game remained challenging, even after I gained in size). I might recommend in the future working on pacing; I assume that the spawns are random, but that often leaves gaps a few seconds long before another animal comes into view.
I like the game! The bug that occurs when you hold down an arrow key too long makes it tricky, but other than that I loved it. My only qualm was that it wasn't necessarily innovative, but good nonetheless.
Cool game, I die really too fast though. There's a dominant strategy about the small preys, the green one, which is going to the border of the screen where they can't run away, I just can't seem to it them when they are in the center of the screen, they avoid me to fast. The bigger ones that are also predator are easier to eat. Well, with some soundtrack to get the player on the mood this would easily be much more attractive, also, making it easier for the player not to die, then he could just get into the mood and enjoy being a lone wolf =)
Very simple and minimalist graphics style. I really like the way the movement feels and your use of the theme was well done, keeping the bounds to the browser window! Cool entry!
Felt like this entry could have been a little more engaging, especially considering the Jam status. It was entertaining and simple, but the mechanics were not immediately obvious. Perhaps an instruction screen wouldn't be amiss. Overall, a great entry that has quite a bit of potential, especially with more dynamic AI and some balancing.

Of course. Those are not the smartest kind of wolf so it' a pretty good tactic to attack them while they are distracted.
Nice work anyway. :)

Wish the game screen was a little smaller, because I had a tiny amount of scrollbar on my browser.
