Apr 18 19:46:00		Shifting Dungeons	Nice pixel graphics and gameplay :) <br/> <br/>My first time through, I managed to get to the final floor without finding a single powerup. I did feel like the default attack was somewhat too weak, especially when the powerups are as scarce as they are (or was I just unlucky?) I found a health kit and an axe the second time, which was powerful, but when it ran out after killing one enemy with it, I was stuck with the default one again :) <br/> <br/>I also couldn't move when I reached the final floor, but I assume that's what your note 2 is referring to. <br/> <br/>Also, nice touch with the simple yet neat character customiziation in the beginning!
Apr 18 20:04:00	18m 00s	Altered Bunny	Love the audio and visuals, and the platforming gameplay was quite good. <br/>I somehow fell out of the level when rotating a room once, which made me fall endlessly. Didn't have any other issues besides that though :) <br/> <br/>P.S: Unless it's just the font being funny, it looks like it says Ludum Dare 36 on the title screen.
Apr 18 20:15:00	11m 00s	Shifter	Neat gameplay mechanic. Didn't really understand how to match the shapes at first, but it was fun once I did. <br/> <br/>Cool music also :) <br/> <br/>My best score was 38. <br/> <br/>P.S: Not sure if it's intentional (shapeshifting?) or if it's a font issue, but when hovering over the main menu buttons, the font changes.
Apr 18 20:22:00	7m 00s	Polyjam	Simple but fun game mechanic, though I wish the difficulty would have ramped up a bit faster. <br/>I got 98/100, and one of those misses was mixing up orange and yellow (maybe they might look a bit too similar?) <br/> <br/>Nice background music also.
Apr 18 22:46:00	2h 24m	Lucy's Adventure	Cool use of different player abilities and physics. Difficulty ramped up quickly from 1-0 and on, but I'd still have liked to see more levels :) <br/> <br/>Found a small level bug in 1-0. If you press against the right wall in the screenshot on the left, you turn into the red box for no apparent reason as seen on the next. <br/>http://i.imgur.com/RJDIXcy.jpg
Apr 18 23:06:00	20m 00s	Shapeshifting Blobs	Fun with a familiar style of gameplay, but using shifting mechanics to situationally adapt your units :) <br/> <br/>Would have been great with an AI for those of us without a readily available local person to play with, but the time constraint is very understandable. <br/> <br/>A couple of technical issues though: <br/>Playing the web version - in both Firefox and Chrome on my Win 7 box, the fullscreen button is exactly on top of the end turn button. Playing in fullscreen (obviously) gets around this. <br/> <br/>The game also refuses to run in private mode in FF (throwing an error), and crashes the browser in a normal window. Works without problems in Chrome though :)
Apr 19 19:42:00	20h 36m	Binary Shift	Interesting concept, but I don't think my reflexes are fast enough for the current pace of the game :) <br/> <br/>I got a higher score mashing a random button than I did trying to guess, because I'd time out before I had time to move the mouse to the button I wanted to click. If I only had a second more, I'd probably do better ;)
Apr 19 20:02:00	20m 00s	Secret Admirers of the Forest	That was really fun! <br/>I wish there was a key to skip your turn, as I'd often take the initial hit from an enemy diagonally away from me, and my powers would be on cooldown. <br/> <br/>Didn't make it further than the 3rd room, but had a good time playing a handful of attempts :) <br/> <br/>Love the pixel art and music also.
Apr 19 20:15:00	13m 00s	Equalize	Fun game - interesting concept :) <br/> <br/>It seemed like the game liked to spawn more of the dominant shape than the others, but it might just have been something that randomly happened me. <br/> <br/>My best score was 47, which I suppose isn't much compared to the 266 in the screenshot :P
Apr 19 21:06:00	51m 00s	Agent Shift	Very fun game and concept! <br/> <br/>Won my first game on day 2 where my first clue only left one possible state :) The other games went on longer, and I won some and lost some. <br/> <br/>Two suggestions: <br/>I'd like to know what my current and max stats are so that I can better judge whether I should play a given card or not. <br/>I'd also like to be able to mark a state as "safe" to make it visually easier to see what states I have left to consider for the remaining clues. <br/> <br/>Would love to see a more fleshed-out post-compo version.
Apr 19 22:22:00	1h 16m	Hexa-GO	Pretty fun game, with nice visuals and energetic music. :) <br/>I'd like to suggest making the green and blue colors a bit more different though, as I sometimes mixed those two up when switching colors. The purple stood out quite nicely. <br/> <br/>My record was 0:50:9 after a handful of attempts.
Apr 19 22:39:00	17m 00s	Shaman Hiccuping	That was pretty hilarious, and is definitely the most unique entry I've played so far :) <br/> <br/>Love the stylized graphics, music and hic sound! <br/> <br/>If there's an end, then I didn't make it that far, but I got to an area where two sets of totems killed me instantly with their fireballs right as I shapeshifted. Good times.
Apr 19 23:05:00	26m 00s	Figment	Very nice art and music along with good gameplay :) <br/>Some puzzles were quite tricky, but were fun to solve. Love all the small details in the game!
Apr 19 23:16:00	11m 00s	Polarity Dragon	Pretty fun game with a cool retro feel to it, along with some nice background music :) <br/> <br/>Would have been neat to see more fleshed out - maybe a post-compo version?
Apr 21 00:16:00	25h 00m	Mr. Purrgalar	Nice puzzle game, with nice art and music :) <br/>Mixing it up with the pickup that changes the walls around was a nice touch. <br/>Would have liked a keyboard shortcut to reset, but I didn't get stuck that often. Probably would have missed it more if there were more and/or harder levels.
Apr 21 00:28:00	12m 00s	OGLA	That was a unique and quite fun game. Love the organic look and graphical effects :) <br/>Nice to see more strategy games here!
May 8 22:49:00	430h 21m	The man that changed into a plant.	Funny concept :) <br/>A bit short, but fun while it lasted. <br/> <br/>Only issue I had was when shapeshifting back from a plant in the last room, it was hard to know exactly how tall I'd be, so I ended up getting hit by the laser a couple of times until I got more careful.
May 8 22:55:00	6m 00s	Don't Race Me Or My Son Ever Again	Cool how you made this renderer in 48 hours :) <br/>I guess there's not much "game" to rate/comment on, but I did like what I saw and think it would be cool to see something more made out of it.
May 8 23:00:00	5m 00s	Song of death	Funny art and sounds :) <br/>Would have been fun to see the concept more fleshed out.
May 8 23:05:00	5m 00s	ShapeShifter	Short but sweet, fun game :)
May 9 00:57:00	1h 52m	Roterra Shift	Love the rotating effect when switching levels :) <br/>Nice art and audio also, but I wish the controls were more responsive. The first few tries, I slipped and landed into the fire more than I wanted to. Beat the game after some trial and error though! Short and sweet. <br/> <br/>Nice entry :)
May 9 01:08:00	11m 00s	Sluggy's Tiny Adventure	Love what you've created in 48 hours here. Beautiful pixel art, and an interesting world to explore. <br/>Looking forward to seeing more of this game :)
May 9 16:06:00	14h 58m	Casual Shapeshifting	That was a unique take on the theme :) <br/>Pretty fun once I understood how to balance the different transformations. Couldn't figure out how to beat the snake level though, but had fun! <br/>The music was creepy and stressful in a good way :)
May 9 16:17:00	11m 00s	Paperchase	Love the pixel art and audio, and fun gameplay to on top :) <br/>I wish the controls were a bit tighter, but that's just a minor gripe for such a great compo entry!
May 9 16:27:00	10m 00s	Watery	Very unique take on the theme, with nice audio and visuals :) <br/>Couldn't really figure out how dragging a certain part affected the rest of the body though, so some of the levels were solved more though trial and error than skills :P <br/>Great entry!
May 9 17:48:00	1h 21m	Color Control	Nice to see another strategy game! <br/>As pointed out though, a tutorial would be nice :)
May 9 18:18:00	30m 00s	Temple Shifters	Fun gameplay and game mechanics, with a nice difficulty curve. Love the visuals and moody music also.
May 9 18:42:00	24m 00s	windowframe	That's the most unique mechanic I've seen this LD :) <br/>Love the pixel art and gameplay, as well as the impressive amount of content for an LD entry!
May 9 19:12:00	30m 00s	Chub Town	That was a lot of fun :) <br/>It was hard at first, but once I figured out the sacrifice mechanic and stabilized my resources, reaching the needed resources for the large statue was easy enough. <br/>Would love to see more made out of the game concept!
May 10 00:20:00	5h 08m	Doodle Book Survival	Pretty fun mechanic - feels a bit like those typing games where you have to type the word in time :) <br/> <br/>Love the art style and animations! <br/> <br/>As for the gameplay - it started out very easy, then suddenly ramped up in difficulty, but I felt that I never really increased again after that, so I ended up getting slightly bored as it didn't really seem to shake up things. <br/>Ended up with 274876 (and mostly F grades - not sure if related ;) http://i.imgur.com/Aqz80px.jpg ). Not sure if you're able to reach grading period 2 and higher, but I think I played a good 10 minutes to get the score I did. <br/> <br/>Fun entry!
