Loved the mechanics! It does have potential if you wish to expand the idea.
The platform physics are a bit clunky, but I know they are really hard to make from scratch in so little time.

If you are interested, our entry is in my teammate's account: you can play WolfBit here:

Good animation, super on theme, fun to turn demons into rats and squish them!

Some of the platforming was a bit masocore.

The controls were a tad slippery, but this was a great idea for the theme! I love the extra bits too, like the animated background and the particles.

Very interesting game, the main puzzle mechanic was really fun to use.

Very nice!

Great job on all the aspects, the music was prefect (It reminds me of the old Wizards and Warriors for the NES), presentation awesome, story cute.

The mechanic especially, never played anything like it, it was very enjoyable and fit the theme perfectly.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

I'm not a big fan of platformers, but this one captured me for quite a long. Good job!

In a booming voice only: JOHN WIZARD.
I didn't have time to play this properly when I was playing it on stream, but I'm definitely coming back to this because I want to know what happened to the dog. 8>

Played briefly on stream @ 2:23:15 : http://www.hitbox.tv/video/991443

Yeah i take really some pleasure, the difficulty level is well dosed. i just would like some better graphic design even if at least there is no bad taste.

Fun idea, but the controls being so slippery were a problem. I would love to finish this game, but I couldn't get passed the one lava part with the clouds.
