WOW! Awesome Feel!

smy 2016-04-18 06:41

nice look - the long-shadow-design is a little outdated but i like it
colors are a matter of taste...

stevenjmiller 2016-04-18 06:42

Amazing! The game controls very well and has a nice pace.

hyoga-3d 2016-04-18 16:48

Visuals are simple but very well done, good use of the theme too.

jni 2016-04-18 16:53

Great game, with simple graphics, this should work on mobile platforms!

solocov 2016-04-18 16:59

This was one of my most Anticipated games while looking at the LD Feed, and I am impressed :D !!!
Totally great :D
(Game crashed on me once, and the figure kinda lags ... :P)

mar3k 2016-04-18 18:29

Cool concept. Good job

seitnerk 2016-04-18 18:57

great look and nice sound!

2016-04-18 20:45

Awesome Game! I like the way you have to play it! Well Done!

anaguilefdez 2016-04-18 21:01

Very neat and polished game. Gameplay is nice too. Minimal sounds and graphics work very well

donni11 2016-04-18 22:40

I love the game!! I have been really excited to play this game! Amazing game! I love the concept, music, graphics and the easy controls! Also do you think you could make a text-version of instructions ?

ultravioleta 2016-04-19 01:32

tremending game!

kev9318 2016-04-19 02:38

nice game ! loved how the procedural and puzzles are well implemented

ferraware 2016-04-19 05:20

Great game, extremely nice graphics and great level design (didn't noticed it was procedurally generated). It seems really polished graphically!

The controls were a bit too heavy for me, and it was kind of slow.

naca 2016-04-19 14:40

Well done :)

2016-04-19 15:31

Adapt? As in adapting online generic tutorial mechanics to the game?

Other than that, good graphics music, etc. :D

pibeex 2016-04-19 15:38

Amazing game!

wan 2016-04-19 15:44

The game looks good, plays well, and having procedural levels is a nice bonus (though it didn't feel like there was a lot of variety in the level blocks). Controller support is a cool thing too, too bad I couldn't play solo with it - except for the tutorial.

The music and choice of sounds creates a nice atmosphere that fit the art style well.

On the downside I found that it plays a bit too slowly for me, as even the first shape is a bit slow. The levels also don't take that much advantage of the core mechanic: there's a few good ideas but after the neat tutorial I expected a bit more contents, more difficulty and more surprises.

Overally it's a well polished entry that was still quite fun to play, nice job!

chrras 2016-04-19 15:44

Very minimalistic, very nice concept. Looks really good!

jhemmings 2016-04-19 15:45

I like the level layouts, you did a great job with the procedural generation! Very clean and polished, I had a lot of fun playing it and getting good with shape swapping :)

alexiseshford 2016-04-19 15:48

Very well done! It feels so good, controls are great too. Really enjoyed this entry! Good job!

allthebees 2016-04-19 15:50

This was amazing! The mechanics were a real joy to play with, and the graphics and audio were superb. The variety of things to do with your forms and their different play styles (especially the fast square and the circle's wall climb and shrinking) was ingenious. Great job overall!

snowyowl 2016-04-19 15:51

Loved the music. I'm only sad that it ended so soon.

glaze_96 2016-04-19 15:52

Wow, great game! Really!

Hope you expand on this game. Would love to play more levels.

linver 2016-04-19 15:54

Nice idea, great artstyle - thx for Unity2d light asset ;)
Tutorial is good, but real game is very-very hard. And you cann't beat level after your death :\

rafosgamess 2016-04-19 15:55

very challenging game, but it is not unfair.
The generation of random levels is very well done. And it has a very creative use of the theme.
The only thing is that not quite understand why one "dies" when it falls to the ground.
But I liked this game =D

glaze_96 2016-04-19 15:57

Oh! I didn't get that it was procedurally generated. That's awesome!

Gonna find a friend to play with later.

Thanks for making a great game. I had fun playing it!

samlo 2016-04-19 15:59

Sweet. Love the sound design and controls - feels like I'm performing gymnastics with four shapes. Flat lighting is great too. I feel like I fudged some of the puzzles though.

nesferjo 2016-04-19 17:02

I love the minimalistic style and the colors are nice. Sometimes it's not so easy to make the shape fit the right place and that slows things a bit. But overall very good entry :)

reallysketchypen 2016-04-19 17:02

Very simple, but really well executed. The concept is very cool and the graphics and sound are great.

pirate_shell 2016-04-19 17:09

I really quite enjoyed this one. The art was very simple, but had a charm to it, mostly due to the lighting. The gameplay was shape shifting in its purest form, really, but it was polished and well done. I do think the button mapping is a bit akward, but it didn't feel horrible. Overall, I really liked it!

dmitrix 2016-04-19 17:29

Really nice looking game with excellent audio. I played the WebGL version and the movement was a little glitchy.

10/10 Will play again

gamepopper 2016-04-19 17:54

Love the minimalist design! Did encounter a bug where if you transform while inbetween platforms you can get stuck, unable to transform, but other than that the level designs were great and there was a nice feel to it.

martymon 2016-04-19 18:32

Best game I played so far. I love the minimalistic style. Great sound effects too.

alhvi 2016-04-19 18:50

Awesome game :D. Great art style. Excellent work with the procedurally generated levels.

rey 2016-04-19 20:41

the atmosphere of this game is great!

ermrk 2016-04-19 20:59

Really really really polished game. I love it!

norwalnate13 2016-04-19 23:15

I saw your "Ch ch changes" post and this game instantly became my most anticipated game. I love the art style and the concept is simple, but intuitive!

panicthefirst 2016-04-19 23:47

Very nice artstyle and Gameplay!

pablolechuck 2016-04-20 01:08

Very well done!! congratulations for you and Tomás

reiv 2016-04-20 02:12

Love the simple sounds and graphics. Nice work with the procedural levels!

paploum 2016-04-20 03:11

Nice game. Well done!

uvwar 2016-04-20 03:28

Really cool look, not sure what I was doing on most of the levels, I would clip through things or die from 'falling' in midair, or just not seem to find a way through certain gaps etc. Presentation was great, though!

martinfernandez 2016-04-20 20:22

Just WOW, amazing sound, great grafics and mechanics. Very well done!!

sabina-lis 2016-04-21 03:02

Loved the music, great game!

vapeurteam 2016-04-21 09:39

Very nice graphics and a nice take on the platformer. I had some trouble figuring out some of the stuff and I had some lag on the figure but it might come from my laptop, so there's that.
The feel is good, overall a job well done!

thomastc 2016-04-21 15:39

A few bugs where I got stuck, but otherwise, great stuff. Sound and music are a notch or two above most that I've played so far. Well done on getting a procedural level generator to work so well in this limited time!

suurin 2016-04-22 21:12

Great mechanics, graphics and sound.

omarhuseynov011 2016-04-22 21:16

Dude great game loved the minimalist style and it's challenging as well!

obsessivenotion 2016-04-22 21:38

Thomas was a shape. Nice!

mitya1234 2016-04-22 21:49

I wish i had your graphics in my game :)

apantaloni 2016-04-22 22:05

I like the minimalist look and the idea is cool. Maybe a little too slow for my taste. The procedural generation adds replayability. Nice!

apalade 2016-04-22 22:09

Nice aesthetics. Movement was a bit too slow for my liking. It really reminded me of Thomas Was Alone.

garys 2016-04-22 23:36

This was a delight to play. The mechanic worked beautifully... the game felt fluid all the way through, great pacing and the fact that the levels are procedurally generated? That's just genius.
Excellent entry.

lostalloy 2016-04-22 23:40

Beautiful graphics, nice song, nice level design!

minibobbo 2016-04-22 23:47

The simple visuals worked well. It was fun, although a couple times I teleported through a wall when transforming between 1 and 4.

siryakko 2016-04-23 06:13

This is the game i could have done if i've more experience on planning and creating games. Fan of the look and feel, that game could be perfect on mobile

idorrac 2016-04-23 11:55

Very nice idea! Transformations can be a bit glitchy and make you stuck in walls, but the game is quite fun in general.

coderjoe 2016-04-23 22:22

Fun! But a little slow (might just be my computer). Love the concept though

kaovhmf 2016-04-23 23:41

This is a great gmae indeed! The simplicity behind makes it even better! Noticed some bugs on changing the shape and i'd sugest that the deadline came in a straight way. That zigzag did not give me a precise idea of that time a had before dieing.

emmelineprufrock 2016-04-24 23:32

Really well polished. Great work.

maekeruu 2016-04-25 01:42

VERY COOL TAKE on the minimalist art style! the simplicity and the intricacy is well balanced esp in the level design...
great entry... theme is well implemented

tppr2046 2016-04-25 06:17

Good graphics! Gameplay is really interesting.
Kinda like the "Thomas was alone".

cluelessgames 2016-04-25 07:18

Cool game. Well executed. Great level of challenge. The ambient sound in the tutorial made me feel sick but the music afterwards was great! I like that you allowed couch co-op nice bit of polish :)

zyow 2016-04-25 11:36

Nice game! Art, procedural level and sound are really cool! Good job!

rodobodolfo 2016-04-25 12:03

Nicely presented, has a Thomas Was Alone kind of vibe with the shadows. I like the way the colours change when the edge of the screen gets close. I found the controls a little bit on the slow side and it was pretty easy for the 5 levels I completed. A solid effort on the whole! Nice work.

bubuiic 2016-04-25 14:39

Very nice game, it's very polished. It's really fun with two players. I especially liked the clean, nice aesthetics and sound.

We noticed a few minor bugs though:
- In the tutorial one player completely disappeared after using the sphere shape for too long.
- Sometimes you randomly get stuck where you cannot change your shape anymore and also cannot move.
- When activating two player mode you cannot go back to one player mode without restarting the game.

I'm interested in how you did the level generation, care to share your source code?

avocadojoe 2016-04-25 14:41

nice game

cabezotta 2016-04-25 15:15

@BubuIIC -> Thanks! sorry for those bugs :S i'd love to upload the source.. but i think i should comment it a little before because i sort of do my programing in spanish haha Anyway, in this post i explained a little how did i do it, it's not complex at all! http://ludumdare.com/compo/2016/04/18/my-entry-for-ld35-is-available-right-now/

linealgames 2016-04-25 15:48

Love the minimalist and flat design!

kad 2016-04-25 17:03

Very good concept! it feels like a well polished game, and you used the theme in an interesting way. Good job!

udellgames 2016-04-25 18:21

Very nice feel and a wonderful modern look to it. Shape shifting itself could do with a bit of polish to feel more natural and fun and the physics can cause a kinda jittery friction when moving along the ground, but otherwise a very enjoyable and well-polished jam effort.

riftpoint 2016-04-25 18:29

Cool game! Nice gameplay mechanic

aidanmarkham 2016-04-25 18:44

Wow! This was great! I really liked the graphical style. At first I didn't realize the levels were procedural generated, and I was amazed when I realized! I have a few things to say. When you aren't the square, you move frustratingly slowly. I feel like it could be improved if you just slightly bumped up the speed of all the shapes. Also, the shapes had a strange friction-y feel while moving around. I'm not sure what caused that, but it hurt the feel of the game for me. Good Job!

linseyray 2016-04-25 18:44

Awesome concept! I like the gameplay & aesthetics, & the level generation is quite sweet. Good job!

ragnta 2016-04-25 18:46

Nice game :), but sometimes I didn't move, if I shift in small area. :(

adsilcott 2016-04-25 19:27

It's great, but I made it through the tutorial and now I keep dying at random moments as I make my way though the level. I tired WebGL and Web Player both. It's not the spikes. Am I missing something?

mountainstorm 2016-04-25 19:30

Probably the best looking game I've played. So simple and clean. Great work

cabezotta 2016-04-25 19:32

@adsilcott -> i don't know actually.. :S when you are in ball-shape you have a limited life (you are getting smaller and smaller until you die).. if that's not the case, maybe you are falling a "long" distance.. that make you die too (and there are not many clues about that also :S)..

captainpilot 2016-04-25 20:07

Great game. After the tutorial it gets hard!

neontropics 2016-04-25 21:36

Great music and fun mechanics! The parts where you have to shape shift mid air were the most fun

beavlgames 2016-04-26 03:12

Solid entry, lots of fun. Procedural level generation is a plus. Great work, man! Also the music...

Disclaimer: Dev is one of our favourite devs around (he's working on a game called Ethereal, amazing stuff).

teampoops 2016-05-01 04:39

Cool idea and execution! Particularly love the graphic style and "shadows."

2016-05-07 18:31

This seems to be an exact copy of Thomas Was Alone's beautiful aesthetic. I am not sure I like this much copying from an other game...Nice gameplay though.

geckoo1337 2016-05-07 19:02

Nice game. There is something really similar - another entry for this 35th LD. I like the mechanics and simple aesthetic. Great gameplay. Maybe it could be better on mobile device. Well done ++

rjhelms 2016-05-07 19:57

Nice! The procgen levels were really cool.

Movement was a bit glitchy at times, and it wasn't clear at first why I was dying in a few situations (falling for too long, and it seemed like the circle timed out...) so getting the hang of things was a bit frustrating - but I enjoyed myself a lot once I did.

puppetmaster 2016-05-07 22:43

Great mood! Like the simple art! The moment to shapeshift is tricky. I really like this puzzle game.
Keep up the good work!

flummox2d 2016-05-08 07:18

Reminds me of Thomas was alone :) Really cool style and sound effects. Have all the 5s. Awesome work! :)

allorius 2016-05-09 17:21

This game is to hard and fast for me, but overall is kinda a good idea. And i really liked your style.
