Pretty cool concept, and amazing art and music.
From a gameplay perspective, it definitely needs a bit more fleshing out though. The controls seemed buggy (I think the circle combo is backwards, says left down right in game but is actually right down left?) and sometimes the correct shield failed to block a shape. Also the game appears to have no ending?
With a tutorial and some gameplay polish this could easily be an awesome game. Keep it up.
I really enjoyed it! I think it it a very interesting concept. My only complaint would be that it is very difficult to get used to the controls, and the learning curve is quite difficult right from the start! Some progression would make the game a lot more enjoyable.
Besides this, I really like the idea and would love to see this developed further.
Visuals, sounds, and music are all fantastic. With a little work, I could see this being a lot of fun. However, in it's current state the gameplay seems more monotonous than anything else.
Nice visuals and soundtrack! The gameplay is a bit confusing but the mechanics have potential. Good job guys!
i think i broke it, or i just suck, ill let you decide
Hard as hard can be this one. Art and music really hold up nice! good job
Interesting concept! I think the combos for the shape just needs to be more intuitive.
Love the music, and an interesting take on the "shape" shifting.
The controls are tough to get used to and seemingly has no ending. Which means it would need a more in-depth scoring at least right?
Awesome job!
I love the visuals, music and sounds, the gameplay is somewhat confusing in my opinion but this highly successful practice can be achieved. Very good game.
Nice game. Cool concept I like it!
The gameplay was very unique. Adapting a shield to stop the incoming shape was really cool.
I didn't see a way to lose the game. It seems like it would just stop sending shapes after a little time passed. Also, the rate at which the shapes came seemed to speed up a little too quickly for me.
At times the correct shield would fail to block a shape. Sometimes shapes would go right through an already active shield of the correct type too.
Crisp controls and great visuals. Overall very well done.
Awesome graphics and music, but a few things that bothered me a bit:
The X at the right side of every shape made me think I had to press X key to make it work. That was a bit misleading.
The game's too hard for me to enjoy it, trying to combine colors and a key pattern in a flash was too much for me.
Great job!
It is too hard!!!
I was very frustrated trying to play this. Even though the visuals are great and music/fx is not begind.
Wow that was hard haha. Art and music are awesome. I could only destroy the squares though, and I'm pretty certain I used the right combinations for the other shapes. Also, the music is a bit buggy. When I press [enter] the game starts with loud music, but if I press [enter] again the music restarts with low volume.
This is beautiful and I wish it were easier to pick up. As it is, I quickly find myself overwhelmed as the shapes pick up speed and complexity faster than I can adapt to. Not that it seems to matter if I miss any shapes, anyway. It's a cool idea and the music is excellent, but the gameplay needs some enhancement and tweaking.
A very difficult game! The shield does not always work, and when shapes move past the shield you are already too late.
It would be nice if the controls were easier to memorise - the basic 4 shapes could just be the directional keys, and complex shapes could be 2 keys (left-right and up-down for example). This way the game can be challenging through gameplay, rather than challenging because of the controls.
Very nice idea and realization ! I had multiple issues on the input side though, as if sometimes my shields didn't work ..
Nice idea but it keeps breaking after a short while. I am able to get the first 10 shapes or so and then it just stops working. Also the music doesn't loop. I'd be happy to come back and re-rate when you've fixed the bug :)
Greate art and sound/music. Excelent job! Good luck!
Graphics and music are really well done! Picking the right shape is hard until you start to memorize the sequences I guess. It crashed for me after a while. Enjoyable and interesting nonetheless :)
Cool Idea, unfortunately the game crashed after some time for me.
But I liked the Concept and had fun after I figured how to play :).
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
Very similar to a lot of other ideas, and the game gets quickly overwhelming. .-.
Took me a while to understand that I could change color, should have more feedback in the game about that. Cool concept, too bad the game crashed several times so couldn't finish.
