Alvin, the Wolf, and the Horrible Hurrofs

GMTK submission page

My humble Lost Vikings-meets-Calvin and Hobbes GMTK 2021 entry, and my first-ever jam game. Play time is about 10 to 15 minutes.

Explore a mysterious forest, face down a multitude of perils, and scheme with your wolf friend in your secret hideout. Your two characters have different strengths, so you will need to keep switching between them to have them handle obstacles and threats together.

The wolf can run fast, leap over streams and ponds, and eat menacing hurrofs for breakfast, but turns into a plush when near other people. You can squeeze through tight gaps and rescue your wolf friend when he's stuck with a human being. Will you survive the many terrors of the woods together and make it home in time for dinner?

"Well written, amazing presentation..." --Hinz Art

"...overall this is a great submission with charm all over it." --NvrSkipGameDay

1.2 notes:

• better allowances and pointers to make it more obvious what you're supposed to do.
• fixed the bug where hitting A to switch between characters rapidly switched back and forth between them.
• small general improvements to dialogue, consistency, and so on.
• feeling a bit more confident in my project, I added the ability to pay a token sum for the game, for those who feel like doing so.
