Grow your own wolf!

In this game, you'll have a great opportunity to grow your own wolf! You start as a ball of fur with no legs, no eyes, not even a mouth! Collect body parts to grow and someday become a real wolf. However, collecting parts won't be an easy task as you need to kill other wolves and steal their bodies.

Controls

- WSAD to move
- SPACE to jump
- Jump to kill enemies

Music doesnt stop inbetween tries so it just stacks ontop of eachother. Otherwise, GREAT game!

Took a little frustration to figure out that jump = attack. The rolling ball of wolf parts is hilariously bizarre tho :ok_hand:

Great stuff, fun game, just there is a bug after game is lost, the soundtrack layers on top of previous one so the two sound at the same time

Really fun game, well done! I can see that other comments highlighted the only two issues :)

I didn't get it right away but after killing the wolves and collecting their parts its so damn funny

I got all the wolf parts and then nothing happened and I got mauled by 3 wolves. Good, quirky and fun.

The music gets gets overlapped every time you lose, so if you don't mute the music on the menu when you lose, you're gonna have a sweet track blasting your ear holes.

Music is amazing. The rolling ball of wolf parts was a funny sight. I expected to turn into a "real" wolf, but an amorphous blob of wolf parts is cool too. I also appreciated the difficulty level. Not too hard, not too easy.

Really nice game, loved the music. The concept is pretty simple, but really enjoyable. Nice control over our furball :smile: I just thought that we would transform into a real wolf after getting all the parts, but hey, this is funnier :smile:

@trifectuh @sabeurre Yeah, we wanted to add the turning-into-a-real-wolf part, but unfortunately ran out of time 😅

The concept is indeed very original, and it was fun to play!

Agreed with the turning part missing. But overall fun experience and the legs sticking out of the furball is goddamn hilarious. Love it!

looks nice, I appreciate the minecraft sounds

Haha, that's certainly one way to take on the theme. Fun little game.

It was fascinating, fun and easy to play. The growing furrball was one of the best things I've experienced during LD 45 for sure. 11/10, would try to become a real wolf again.

The rolling ball of fur is a bit weird, but amusing. Game play was good.

Took me many tries, but I did it. I got all 6 parts... then got beat up by a wolf right after i jumped. The game just wouldn't let me have it! this game was awesome.

It was confusing to "grow your wolf". Except that it was pretty alright.

Amerigo Gazaway16 Oct 2019, 06:45

This is kinda disturbing but also alot of fun haha. So that's where wolves come from!
