A game of Tag with a twist...
You want to get close to the Wolf but not become the Wolf for too long.
Run around and get the highest score possible!
-----------
Controls with keyboard or 360 controller.
Movement with Arrows or Left Stick
Invincibility (non-wolf only) with SPACE or A on the controller
-----------
No time for sounds or music sadly... Maybe one day ;)
-----------
I haven't tested the OSX and Linux versions, so let me know if you have issues.

Nice game, lovely graphics. The controls are quite floaty which makes it a bit frustrating & the wolf sometimes gets stuck which makes it easy to rack up points!

This is wonderful! I love to see takes on the theme that aren't cruel or bleak.

The energy feature is a great addition to a classic game!
Well done.

I really like the game !
The gameplay is obviously quite simple, but the realisation makes it really nice to play !
The scoring system is well done.

The graphics are nice. Only some feedbacks are missing to me! expressions, texts, warning when the wolf is coming, things like that.

And a really nice use of the theme !

Cute take on the theme that is quite clever. Fun and quite addictive to run around and see if you can beat your last score. The graphics are also great and as you've mentioned the game is just missing some music which would really bring it together.

This game is lots of fun, the children movements and faces makes it even funnier. Nice graphics and idea, I loved playing with the tree trunks to hide. Good job

It's very fun to play this. Very hard to be a wolf :P I imagined a version with real players and the one with most points win :)

Very fun game from a simple concept. The clunky movement of the character makes this game better! Sometimes was hard to know where the wolf was and so it caught you by surprise but overall great game.

A really great game that does an awesome job making an old analog game into a really fun video game! Super cute run cycles! Great job binary brother!

Nice! I had a similar idea, but I wouldn't be able to build it like this! My vision of a tag game was a bit more violent and wouldn't be fun, so I dismissed it.

But your execution on the idea is just perfect and fun! Kid friendly, but challenging!

I'm missing some audio, children screaming, some taunts maybe? But the game itself feels really complete! :)

Congrats!

Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback!
Yes the game is cruelly missing audio, didn't get the time to add them. But I'm working on the game some more for another contest so there will be a complete version soon :)

Awesome execution of a fun core mechanic! I love how such a simple control scheme is so much fun to play with. And the crazy children's faces, such passion, wow.

A bit of audio would really push it over the edge.

Nice idea :) Well done the game is pretty fun. Congrats! (Really missing some sound fx and music by the way).

This was a very cute little game! The next I play tag in real life I'll have to play with these rules!

Simple, fun, and addicting. Very nice visuals. Would be lots of fun as a multiplayer game with a few other abilities. Very nice.

The controls felt really good, making chasing those kids rather enjoyable. Aaaand of course, it's a tag game. :)
