Lycan Trail is a side-scrolling shooter. During nighttime you must escape hordes of werewolves. After that you can spend all your precious coins to upgrade weapons and buy supplies.
Controls: Movement: W,A,S,D Fire: Left Mouse Button Reload: R Boost: Space
Really neat game! I included it in my video compliation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/NeUaByS_1JI
Really cool game! The background art and gameplay are utterly fantastic, I only feel that the werewolf sprites and UI let it down a little bit (but hey, it's Ludum Dare).
Had a lot of fun with this. I wish that the first level had been a bit shorter so I could have gotten the excitement of the upgrade stage earlier - I had died a few times and almost gave up.
The reload-shoot mechanic was very well balanced, as were the enemies. Barrels were a little tough to both shoot and then get the pickup, but guess that's part of the skill of the game.
Took me a while to survive one night, and looks like a nice idea to give the game a bit more depth/longevity. Guess in an expanded version, you could add people to your party/cart, add new weapons and all the other trappings of an RPG
I love the graphics: Parallax scrolling, the motion of the sky, the horse animation.
Gameplaywise there is also a lot more depth than meets the eye. The upgrade mechanics, the obstacles that force the player to keep in the middle and having to shoot the barrels for bonuses.
For me, personally the difficulty ramps up too much. I upgraded reload and damage in the first night and stood no chance in the second night.
Reloading on RMB would be cool, or at least E instead of R, since R is too far away from WASD, especially since the player needs it constantly.
Some spooky music would really augment the experience, as would better and more sound effects.
Overall great entry!

Beautiful visuals, and a tense scenario.
Also makes me wonder what these guys did to tick off that many werewolves. :)
Cool game after time reloading is not fast enough.
Quite difficult but fun.
Keep up the fantastic work!
I think the game might be improved by slightly shorter levels, so you can get to the fun of the upgrades a bit more often.
