This was supposed to be a simple puzzle/explore game, but I had to do some other stuff so I had very little time. I've managed to create the core concept, but it's very short.
The game itself isn't great, but I learned a whole bunch for the next LD!
I'll post my timelapse tomorrow, first some sleep :)
Forgot to mention this in the game, but you can look around by moving your mouse!
Game Engine: Unity
3D-modeling and animating: Blender
Recording music: in FL studio (Done last minute :p )
Simple sound effects: Bfxr
FYI: The webGL version has nasty shadows, download an executable for the full experience!
Edit: Timelapse is up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYNXl8Q7u2E&feature=youtu.be
Edit 2 (April 24):
Just noticed this is a Jam entry, it was supposed to be Compo one :/
Added an updated version!
* Added 2 more levels (Still a bit short on time D: )
* New and improved animations!
* Tightened controls (Jumping works better!)
* Added nature sounds (Credit: klankbeeld @ freesounds.org and gnerkus's idea)

i can sum this game up in 1 word "adorable" from the lack of quality animations, to the beautiful simplicity of the models and music, it all fit together very well, and there's shapeshifting involved, too bad you had so little time, id love to see more of this. i also loved the timelaps you put up, it was funny to see you animate the fox without an IK rig (IK rigs make animation a pleasure BTW) and did all this by yourself, i'm a fan, definitely.
Art is awesome, although lacking antialising. Gameplay was not challenging though.
Such a beautiful game. Very simply and relaxing. Music fits the gameplay perfectly. I enjoy it. Would like to play more some time.
Definitely a cool concept. Controls work nice, good animations. Wolf looked a bit funny if I run off the edge of the tree, before he starts dropping. Loved it.
Theme is great, art is great, mood also. Highly rated. I couldn't figure out how to open the doors.
The graphics are nice (I may be biased towards low-poly 3D) albeit a little too bright. The music did reflect the solemness of the game.
If you do get to continue working on the game, you could add nature sounds.
PS: The main character looks like a repentant Sephiroth.
Very nice graphics and music make for an excellent atmosphere, its a pity you hadn't more time to make it longer. I really liked your 3D modeling, you will have great fun when VR headsets are more common.
Thanks for the nice feedback all! I'll try to add some new (more challenging) levels next weekend.
@treegemmer You were supposed to stand on the yellow pile in fox form and press E, but that was already the last level
@gnerkus Good idea! I'll add those in the next release
I love the graphics, controls were a little wonky for me but great game overall.
If you're depressed, you should play this game. I'm not depressed, but it made me relaxed.
Disliked the movement speed and that the game was so short, but it's well done
It is so pleasant to play this game, the music, very slow smooth movements, cute blue fox. Love it!
I had difficulties to jump on that tree!! Nice models and great music. I love the colors, but leaves on trees are very pixelated compared to the rest of the game.
Little too short, but loved the visuals, and oh very nice ambiant music playing in the background ! :)
You are right, this game is short, but overall I really like it. The graphics are great and the music is very soothing.
I really liked the art and music for this game, and the concept for transformation was pretty cool. I look forward to any new levels you add!
I loved the art direction of this. It was rather short, but I was expecting that from your description. Over all: Solid effort. Look forward to seeing more from you in the future.
My 9 year old daughter wants to leave a comment. Here it is: i loved the game and the graphic were the best i loved the music that was the best game i have ever played
Nice models, song and ambient!
Just watched your timelapse. Nice entry!
Great mood set with the audio and graphics. Very pleasant and relaxing to play. well done!
The controls are acting really weirdly on the web version : when you release all the keys, the character goes back to a "standard" orientation which makes feel controlling it like pulling some kind of spring.
Except this issue, the game looks really nice and the music is really relaxing. It's a very cute entry.
@LLucile Thanks! I probably should have mentioned somewhere that you can look around with your mouse. When not moving, the character orients itself to where your mouse is pointing.
The art style is great, the fox is just adorable ^-^
I've made a let's play video if you want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Jp_-GWVIo
Very cute game. Loved the way the camera moved to show what happened (digging - and finding a key I presume- opens a gate), so it was easy to understand. Great work! :)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Loved it! The graphics, the ambient music and the mood was awesome. A bit short, but cool game!
