LOVE this! I wasn't sure how shapeshifting applied at first but then I died - and I realized. It feels really cool transitioning. I also love the music!

andyman404 2016-04-19 04:44

Wow!! That virus is awesome. I love the music - I believe that it changes as the character changes? Very cool.

jcmonkey 2016-04-19 04:47

this was an awesome game. i love the transforming into bigger monsters with bigger guns. nice job

vividreality 2016-04-19 11:05

I had a lot of fun playing this! It's addictive because I want to beat my own scores, haha. I liked the design of the monsters too! Cool game!

Nice twist on a familiar genre.

Minor nitpick: it's a little confusing that the menu can't be controlled with the mouse.

studdert249 2016-04-19 11:43

Love the music and the transition to new forms upon death!

Did think that the game was bugging out for me on the menu though, not having the buttons able to be mouse clicked was a little confusing

mikaza 2016-04-19 12:13

Funny, like audio !

superizzo 2016-04-19 12:14

Really nice.
Great music and awesome art. The gameplay was also fun and challenging. The only problem I had is after palying for a while it starts lagging - something is probably not being destroyed off screen and accumulates over time.
But all in all it's a great game.

Good job for your game !

The empower feeling when shapeshifting is very cool, but since it happens when you start to lose it makes you wondering if you really wanted it ^^

Very cool graphics too, specially the hero transformations.

Only need some more different enemys and it would be really addicting.

Nice job !

khaos_fang 2016-04-19 13:11

Everytime you die, you become stronger.Maybe give mutants some disadvantage?

ekkiiiii 2016-04-19 13:55

Nice work! Interesting mechanics and good presentation.

calmkai 2016-04-19 13:55

Good game!

diebackstudios 2016-04-19 15:47

WOW WOW XD amazing music addictive gameplay! well done

khanatos 2016-04-19 17:50

I was thinking where was the shapeshifting thingy... then IT HAPPENED! Nice concept, even though the controls are a bit tough.

jungle 2016-04-19 17:55

Nice concept. Simple and funny game. Fits theme as well. Congratulations.

chrras 2016-04-19 18:02

Great idea, also good executed. Would also have gone excellent with the theme "Dying benefits you" or what that was called.

Music might be slightly annoying, but great job!

ludumanthony 2016-04-19 18:49

The mouse not controlling the menu confused me for a while, but after that the game was really fun.
It would have been better if enemies turned red / had some sort of hit indication though.

aceyt 2016-04-19 19:35

Excellent game, I got totally hooked until the end and I tried to do my best

The music was perfect, it even sounded like a tune that danny baranowski would have made in the final stage of transformation.
And every time it has put the right mood !
The graphics were cool, my only problem was the menu that didn't seem to respond properly, but since I could play the game, I don't care that much (but it would be important if you planned to continue)

One of my favorite game so far

tchai 2016-04-20 00:49

Wow, I loved the way as the music changed with the shape of the main character, great idea!

Curiously, I had the impression that I was controlling the final Boss of the game haha

At begin I was trying to use the mouse, before read about it doesn't work, but this doesn't affect the gameplay

Great game and job guys! ;D

tchai 2016-04-20 00:51

Ah, I forgot to say, great context! Could begin to write some anime about this hehe

akirassasin 2016-04-20 12:55

Like the lasers and shapeshifting concept!
Somehow reminds me of Ultraman though.

holdmeimscared 2016-04-21 12:30

Very nice use of theme! Music was great, I loved the background graphics, and even the mutant forms of your player character were charmingly adorable :)

almax27 2016-04-21 12:37

This game reminded me of Dragon Ball, defeat only makes you stronger!

Tight controls, excellent music and perdy grfx. Nice one! :P

uzumakkinaruto 2016-04-21 13:02

Really cool game. Awesome idea. Loved this game. Well done!

jni 2016-04-21 13:53

A really nice game! I really like those graphics!

mechanicallife 2016-04-21 15:26

The music is what really sells it I think! Really cool :)
Had some problem with the menu at first, it controllable with the mouse but you can't use the mouse buttons to confirm your choice :/

holyblackcat 2016-04-21 15:26

* Game starts *
"Well, this requires some serious skill. I guess it's ok."
...
"Looks like I'm pretty much dead."
* Shapeshifted *
"Wow, second chance? Nice idea."
* Shapeshifted again *
"SHOOP DA WHOOP"
* Shapeshifted again *
"Seriously? Nope, I'm done"
* Finally died *
xD

Jokes aside. The graphics was nice. Music is good to. Good job!

reiv 2016-04-21 18:32

Nice concept. Was fun to play :D I loved the music and all the mutations!

nexus64 2016-04-21 19:10

Really good, with a very good twist.
Maybe it will be a good idea to add levels, and diferent ending depending of how "monstruous" you become.

dreschler 2016-04-21 19:44

Niiiice game!

apantaloni 2016-04-21 22:51

The idea of becoming stronger after after dying is great. Destroying everything with a big laser beam is fun :D Nice entry!

omarhuseynov011 2016-04-22 14:12

Best low-rez action game I've played so far! Nice job!

jakass 2016-04-22 17:25

Nice!

sabina-lis 2016-04-22 21:50

Nice characters and music, it was fun

2016-04-23 07:18

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

leo_p_mahon 2016-04-23 16:04

Great fun! Like the art and the music was pretty good too. You seriously need to fix the mouse thing though! Its very confusing.

joemid 2016-04-25 16:59

"Kaneda!" Was all I was thinking, as I ravaged through the city until they shot me down like Kong.

2016-04-26 16:15

i'm still waiting it :D

gfm 2016-04-29 02:40

It was pretty nice how the music changed to match the current state. :)

rock-eaters 2016-04-29 19:49

Nice Graph

blackoptics8 2016-04-30 06:22

great entry ;D when I played it on gamejolt I got no audio but everyone else was sayin it's great so I'll believe 'em ;3

seconddimension 2016-05-01 21:31

Really fun entry and I liked the game play, turning into the more powerful monsters was great.

thecain 2016-05-04 02:28

Nice death mechanic. Made me feel like the final boss.

seitnerk 2016-05-04 18:46

Cool Idea! like the transformation a lot :D also very cool audio!
