Nice game. Love the sound effects. :)

sirtetris 2016-04-17 16:52

Sound effects awe awesome, gameplay is really fun. :)
Played several rounds and got to a score of 543 so far.

Awesome animation/sound/effects. Good work!

joemanaco 2016-04-17 17:00

Sweet Art :)

Nice!

ottohak 2016-04-17 17:25

Love the Style, I like the Sounds.

bwalter 2016-04-17 17:58

AMAZING! love all the sound effects too. "spuare" :P

Good game.
Simple, fun gameplay. Good art stile and animations. Nice sound.

But. Arena is way too small. In addition to rocks collision being bad this makes the game a little less fun then it should be.
It would be also great to have visual indicator of how long it will take to change the gun. Like a bar or something.
Hit box on the guy is in no where accurate. I feel it is ~10 pixels too big in all directions.
Enemy's color feels a tad bit off. There have been several cases of me not noticing the enemy. Some red lining would make them more visible.
Lastly the zoom is too big. It would be nice to see a little bit more of the map.

So all in all: amassing work. Solid submission to the Jam.

The art and the sounds are amazing. The controls were a little bit hard though.

jollyserpent 2016-04-17 18:51

Great audio-visual presentation, love the sound effects!
The game is fun as well.

kyuni 2016-04-17 19:28

Good game, I really like the art and the sound.

norseware 2016-04-17 19:46

This was fun! Surprisingly hard, but fun! I like the concept of switching ammo that correlates to enemies. I did find the rock collisions frustrating though... :P Good job!

qikcik 2016-04-17 19:54

Nice!

crazy 2016-04-17 20:34

I love the grafics <3

vividredemption 2016-04-17 20:52

Really fun, I ended up getting to a point (around 1500 points, I think?) Where I didn't get any more triangles, so I was parading squares around until my gun shifted. But speeding up the gun switch thing is really nice. :)

littlephil 2016-04-17 21:10

It's really cool! Sometimes you can get stuck on rocks though:/ Other then that, it looks amazing!

davor10105 2016-04-17 21:34

great job, really like the sound effects

evgis 2016-04-17 22:00

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Since the compo is still not over for another 3 hours I decided to listen and to remove the collision on the obstacles completely. No more annoying rocks, yay!

indieyp 2016-04-17 22:17

Need PvP, nice graphics

unoion 2016-04-17 22:33

Great job! Very nice game!

hawksandwich 2016-04-17 22:35

I LOVE this game. It's so fun and pretty to look at too.

thenerdmancometh 2016-04-17 22:49

AMAZING! i like how all the sounds are low pitched vocals, and its addicting...Im going to hear "square" in my dreams xD

mintarcade 2016-04-18 00:02

Wow really cool game. It's hard to survive, but it is SO COOL!!!

bwalter 2016-04-18 02:13

amaaaaazing!

conorod 2016-04-18 11:33

Great graphics, and I like the sound. Possibly a bit too challenging though - I always got swarmed very quickly. Liked the way hitting an enemy with the wrong shape caused them to multiply.

cubegames13 2016-04-18 13:48

That was pretty fun

cicanci 2016-04-18 13:50

The art is so cool! Well done!

pietdagamer 2016-04-18 13:53

The sound effects and audio in general is awesome :D

chobrah 2016-04-18 14:01

Really nice polished entry, beautiful art. Good fun :D

htspencer88 2016-04-18 14:57

Very well done! It really sets the bar and you should be extremely proud. Great job!

rubna 2016-04-18 16:19

good entry!!

redwizard 2016-04-18 16:20

The best i saw until now. Very Good!
Triangle ... Square!

xclementx 2016-04-18 16:22

Amazing game! Congrats.

dkoding 2016-04-18 17:23

Love the graphics. Very smooth movement.

chriiis88 2016-04-18 17:36

I really like this. The aesthetics are great and the gameplay is fun. Well done!

reallysketchypen 2016-04-18 18:04

Really great graphics and I love the voice! The only problem I found is that the rocks sometimes make you get stuck, but otherwise, great game!

cynicalmonkey 2016-04-18 19:02

I really like the art, really smooth controls

headmade 2016-04-18 19:36

Top notch presentation, high scores in all departments, good job!
However I would like an indicator when my bullets are about to change. Just play the "triangle" sound effect sooner.

My high score was 1024 :)

thomz12 2016-04-19 11:38

Sound effects are great! love the amount of "juice" in the game! Good job!

2016-04-19 14:49

simple and cool.

naca 2016-04-19 15:51

Really addicting!

josearias 2016-04-19 18:44

Nice Art. Nice gameplay. Nice Audio.

Great job.

saiodin 2016-04-19 20:05

This was great. Interesting gameplay, I loved the movement that the knockback mechanic provided. The sound and music was also very fitting. My gf compared the graphics to Don't Starve.

seitnerk 2016-04-20 06:28

Great Idea. Love the style and the gameplay!
Would be awesome if you could change between your weapons instead of waiting for it. But had a lot of fun with it!! :)

zillix 2016-04-20 06:40

sooo cute! loved it!

evgis 2016-04-20 15:11

seitnerk: That was actually how it was originally, but switching guns manually became more of a tedious task than an exciting mechanic. The current system is less tedious and more unpredictable and therefore more fun in my opinion! Thanks for all the feedback :)

2016-04-23 15:20

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

seconddimension 2016-04-23 18:37

Very enjoyable game, sound effects really made it.

riftpoint 2016-04-25 19:55

Very cool game! The gameplay mechanic is very creative and the art is amazing. Congratulations!

lereveur 2016-04-30 16:16

Ha Ha funny and challenging. It takes me a little while to understand that hitting mobs with wrong gun would make them multiply... :D

cerno_b 2016-05-01 17:09

I got 1474. Very nice little game. I love the aural and visual feedback you get when the shape changes. Also the multiplying mechanic is a very nice touch and feels like a very important decision.

One suggestion would be to add some visual cue about how many hits are remaining on a monster. Since it seemed to me that you need two hits per enemy, I guess a second sprite that shows a damaged monster would be a sensible addition that can help with strategy.

Overall I really liked the game!
