Nice :D

The levels are more challenging than I expected from the description. I like that you really have to learn the enemies patterns to get by them.

The first level was no problem. You had me and my kids fooled on the 2nd level, we kept trying to take the "shortcut" only to get smashed every time. It was pretty tough, but we all persevered and managed to save shape land. Yay! :)

Hm... Well, there were shapes, but where was the shift? ;D

Seriously though, the music in this was pretty nice and the sounds were competent enough, but I don't like this "look." Also, the song for a level shouldn't restart when you die; that just makes it annoying.

Anyway, the game was a lot more challenging than I figured it would be, in a good way. That level where four triangles shoot at you all at the same time was actually harder than the level after it, so maybe the order of those could've been switched, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise that I actually had to think about what I was doing and be careful about how to do it sometimes.

So Shape Quest doesn't really try for anything new, and didn't *quite* fit the theme. Just a plain ol' fun game.

Fun game. The four triangles level was tricky. It felt like the pentagons would sometimes spawn on top of me and kill me :( Would have helped to slide along walls.

I liked this, but level 4 was too hard I think. Also was there any shapeshifting going on?

Sweet challenging game but I didn't notice the shapeshifting ? Then again I couldn't get through all levels. Keep up the good work !

The levels were definitely more difficult than first glance, but there was some nice progression in difficulty.

Nice music :)

The last level got me a few times but I saved shape land! Nice job!

nice little game. the pentagon shapes zoomes themselves into me though and sniped me :P you could have used a zelda-ish approach with blinking before they "appear"

This game is proof that sometimes all you need is the ability to move in for directions and some collision to make a good game! I liked the different enemy types, it made for some tricky areas to get through. Art is clean and gets the job done nicely. Music was charming! Well done learning a new engine!

zwrawr 2016-04-19 23:22

Those Orange Pentagons are nasty , The collision boxes were off , which caused a few annoying deaths (all squares i think). But it was fun

brianschung 2016-04-19 23:24

I really like the art!

katekmail 2016-04-19 23:33

Good job with GameMaker! The circle looks so angry.

dusho 2016-04-20 06:27

cool
it went quickly from easy walk to really hardcore dodging

Nice entry! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/V5g1IHvqQQk

The music and sound are very nice. Specially the music, it don't feel repetitive.

thecams 2016-04-27 12:28

Simple but fun art style, I died a few times but it was a fun game :) good job

mrshoestore 2016-04-28 04:42

This was fun to play, could use some more levels!

terryg 2016-04-28 13:53

It a pretty game the graphica are well realized if a bit simple. It feels much like4 pac-man. I play though a few levels and didn't see any shape shifting.

badia_r 2016-04-30 13:13

Good game, last levels are quite challenging. Nice music. Too bad the animation is buggy on the HTML5 web build, makes it really hard to finish the last level ^^

broknecho 2016-05-10 00:56

Cute graphics. Collision boxes on the static objects were a little sticky and could be a little smaller.

Cute game and nice start here for 48 hours! Nice job!
