| Apr 18 02:31:00 | Bortman | Nice work! Quite a bit of art for a compo entry! Some of the sound effects sounded like a speaker issue - not sure if that was intentional :) It's quite challenging, especially on a laptop with a trackpad. I really liked the gameplay choices with the shapeshifting. P.S. your first 2 screenshots are exactly the same :) | |
| Apr 18 02:46:00 | 15m 00s | Shape Shifts | Very interesting game! A tutorial would have helped, but some trial and error + instructions did the trick too :) Some notes: I think the compo requires all the audio to be original, I noticed attribution in the credits. Also the Quit button doesn't seem to work on the OSX version :) Great work, it's definitely fun! |
| Apr 18 05:44:00 | 2h 58m | Shape Shifter - Disco Labyrinth Inferno | Wow, I had a really good time playing this. Pretty fantastic experience overall. Loved the variety of platforming based on some core rules, and even found some non-linear routes from time to time! The music and its variation also added a lot to the experience. Very nice work! |
| Apr 18 14:23:00 | 8h 39m | Shape Switch | Fun game! Some notes from playing on OSX: Right away the game opens a file system dialog and makes you choose a folder - I'm guessing for the save game? It was pretty confusing, I would suggest deferring that if possible. Also the Control+Arrow keys are bound to OSX shortcuts, so I had to unbind them in my system settings in order to get them to work in the game. <br/>I liked the puzzles, and the progression. Great job! |
| Apr 19 13:05:00 | 22h 42m | Splitter Critters | Amazing work! Fresh concept and extremely impressive execution. It was very fun to split the world and wrap my brain around how this mechanic works. Also the art style reminded me of Little Big Planet :) Great work! |
| Apr 27 04:39:00 | 183h 34m | Little Girl | Nice work! I had to go find a mouse since this was unplayable with a laptop trackpad :( (at least a mac one) I felt like I didn't have a good handle on the controls even with the mouse. (While shapeshifted, it just felt out of control and random. Maybe that was the intention) The effects were nice and the sounds while shapeshifted were also a nice touch. |
| Apr 30 05:37:00 | 72h 58m | A Tale Of Shifted Shapes | Interesting concept. I found the controls a little confusing - I had to 'release' the mouse every try, but there didn't seem to be a point of moving the camera around in the beginning. Also the sound effects were very abrupt. <br/>The very first level had quite a learning curve (just low amount of time, hard to experiment to learn the mechanic) but once I figured that out, I was able to move on much more easily and it became fun :) Nice work overall. |
| Apr 30 05:46:00 | 9m 00s | ⬛R⬤PPING ONTO SH▲PES | Loved the music, thought all the audio fit with the visuals well. The 'dancing' theme was a nice touch throughout - tough to get that stuff in a compo :D <br/>I got stuck pretty quickly - it's an interesting mechanic, but I think the difficulty curve could use be smoothed out a bit. |
| Apr 30 05:52:00 | 6m 00s | Go Get Those Boxes | It was fun to play, and I liked the variety of enemy shapes, movement patterns and travel types. I was a little confused why ammo == score - and due to the FPS perspective and constant high intensity, I had no idea if/when/how my weapon would change. The sound effects fit the with visual theme. It was fun :) |
| May 1 21:50:00 | 39h 58m | Reptilian President | Hilarious idea - was fun once I figured out all the controls and UI. The improvements you made in the post-comp version addressed most of my issues :) I'm still not sure if I hold down space or not? Great job! |
| May 7 05:47:00 | 127h 57m | Toyquake | Fun and tight game loop! Pretty easy to pick up and definitely addictive. Would love it for other platforms too :) Great job! |
