The graphics are beautiful. Great work!

remdiky 2016-04-19 01:42

I like it!

foxtacy 2016-04-19 01:46

Graphics, songs, sound everything is awesomely well put togather.

All my 5s :D

Wanted to try on OS X but couldn't download, got stuck between 20 and 32 kb of download :S

eighthnote 2016-04-19 02:06

Wow! Really excellent.

jcmonkey 2016-04-19 02:07

The music in this game was awesome. i couldnt for some reason figure out how to jump across that one big spiked area.

zaywolfe 2016-04-19 02:13

Tried on linux but game won't download

djfariel 2016-04-19 02:14

@jcmonkey You can use your shield to make yourself wider to cross it. Or you can just fly!

djfariel 2016-04-19 02:16

@d3garcia && @zaywolfe
I just tested both non-windows downloads and they're working here. Best I can suggest is to try again. It might be a problem on Itch.io's end, but unfortunately I can't open the files to see if they're working.

Very nice work here! Visuals are great as well as sound and music. I really enjoyed playing this...needs a pause menu, though.

zaywolfe 2016-04-19 04:28

Really addictive and ridiculously hard!

david-cookie 2016-04-19 14:17

Impressive graphics and game overall! Love to charge the big cannon, it's like a kamehameha :p

ryannielson 2016-04-20 02:19

I love the art for the main robot, and the music is great as well. The controls feel a bit awkward on the keyboard though.

grimgary 2016-04-20 03:11

Hahaha! I suck at your game. BUT! That doesn't mean it isn't any good. Just that I'm not. Overall, even though frustrating for a keyboarder like myself I had fun trying to figure it out!

weeping-rupee 2016-04-21 01:00

Love that tail. Good game. I couldnt get through that door though :( I thought i found the switch but it just wouldn't open. Maybe i missed another one

fierceshadow 2016-04-21 01:12

Manage to get my tail stuck in the door at the start ;(

avon 2016-04-21 01:51

There are several things I love about this game, the art is great, a lot of good sound effects, the game idea is great, and I love details like the tail, and the metallic sound and spark when you knock against a wall. The shapeshifting mechanics with the different abilities are also great.

The game is very difficult though. Partly its because your character is so big relative to the screen, and most of the enemies shoot at you from outside the screen, its hard to see whats going on. It's also annoying not to be able to shoot at an angle, especially when so many enemies can, and often are at a different height than you. Using keyboard + mouse instead of keyboard alone could potentially be a lot easier.

magnesiumninja 2016-04-21 02:43

Nicely detailed graphics! It feels a bit annoying to be shot at by enemies from off the screen, though.

tchai 2016-04-21 02:59

Graphics nicely drawn, cool sound, interesting concept and mechanics. I loved the different abilities for each shape.

Great job! ;D

maleero 2016-04-21 04:10

I've played this longer than any other submission so far. Great game, nice work!

studdert249 2016-04-21 07:51

Loved the music and art. Solid game nice work!

aaranos 2016-04-22 00:20

Looks good but is hard to control on keyboard, I had to guess all of the controls because I could not remember them from the main menu. I recommend putting them on this page so people can have it up beside it.

chummywinds 2016-04-22 01:02

Graphics and sound totally set the mood and everything looks beautiful! Really cool game!

rjhelms 2016-04-22 04:14

This is really cool - great art and sound, and the level design does a good job of balancing the different shapes.

It's a little on the difficult side, but I think that works well for a game like this.

lochmann-apps 2016-04-22 10:48

Good job, I really like it.

cole-and-jordan-studios 2016-04-22 21:36

Well done, especially on the graphics, atmosphere and audio. However the game was immediately too difficult; the only tutorial for any kind of problem solving was die-and-learn like dark souls, which some people are a fan of I suppose (eg dark souls) but even if that's the path you want to take I would recommend being a little forgiving at least towards the beginning.

nihilaleph 2016-04-23 01:25

Nice concept! Graphics, mechanics and audio are great (especially the tail)! But it's too difficult! It's hard to aim at enemies and to dodge things, including the spikes xp

Anyways great entry!

khaos_fang 2016-04-23 07:29

Very nice game. Not easy to control though.

mightymarcus 2016-04-23 09:20

Reminds me a little bit on SNES Mech Warriors.
I like the alternative weapons/shield for each transformation.
It makes fun to explore the map trying the different shapes. I tryed to kill the boss left above and failed, but I'll try again.

The atmosphere is very nice. It fits all together well.

neondx 2016-04-23 11:18

awesome arts, controls and level design are not that clear

funisfun8 2016-04-23 17:57

Gonna be honest, I couldn't find the door in the first level. I went back to find the door after finding the button and it wasn't open, so I think it must be a different door. I think this is probably me and not your design. Maybe a minimap would be nice for noobs like me though? Lol. I love this game. It is SO well polished. The idea is solid and so is it's execution! The graphics look great, the music is awesome, the mechanics are intuitive and fun. Well done! P.S. PLEASE make a post-LD version. With some more time I could really see this selling on Steam.

dreschler 2016-04-23 18:36

Wow, supernice! Which program you use for the animations?

djfariel 2016-04-23 19:46

@Dreschler We use Pyxel Edit for the base sprite work and animations, and we use Gimp for the effects.

springcabal 2016-04-24 04:12

A difficult and unforgiving game, but with reliable game mechanics, meaning that you can reasonably learn each obstacle. That doesn't mean I managed to unlock all 5 doors though, a crash ended my 20th+ death and I decided to call it.

I liked the three forms, and felt they were distinctive enough, although i didn't understand the use of the special ability on the vehicle (shield was pretty obvious though).
The models and sfx looked great but I wish the mech and helicopter was a bit better animated with respect to their movement.

Overall a very good entry.

chuigum 2016-04-24 06:35

Best graphics I've seen so far, awesome take on the theme too. Awesome job! :)

questionablequality 2016-04-24 06:58

First off I'll start by saying this isn't my kind of game. I played a lot of games similar to this when I was a kid flicking through PS1 demo disks, and I was never a fan. But I could and can appreciate the game you've made, since it's definitely solid and I encountered no bugs.

The shifting gameplay is really quite fun, although the actual designs of the mech don't really symbolize what they were very well, I.E. I took ages to realize which was the flying one and what the wall-climber one did.

I played it briefly on stream @ 1:30:45 : http://www.hitbox.tv/video/991443

wizzardmaker 2016-04-25 13:16

Nice game, had fun

fabraz 2016-04-26 02:55

Crazy animation art style! Oo

matiasbontempo 2016-04-26 22:34

Wow! Awesome graphics, I really like the shapeshift theme here. Well done!

adipson 2016-04-30 08:50

nice ambiant !

dat_not_my_game 2016-04-30 16:28

Good game with nice graphics, effects and interesting gameplay with robot morphing.

kerdelos 2016-05-01 08:32

Wow. Beautiful graphics indeed. The music is also really catchy and creates a real mood. I have some critics though. The gameplay is sometimes a bit slow and the normal form isn't really useful. But once again, great game!

jupiter_hadley 2016-05-02 16:15

I very much like the graphics! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/CILyMGd9ZnE

tex-killer 2016-05-09 22:43

Very solid entry! I would never guess this game was made in only 72 hours. Looks and plays very professional.

It took me some time to get used to the transformations and to explore the game, but I guess I just suck. I've found 3 arrows to open doors, but I could never return from them without dying. All of my comments on small things from the game seem to already be on the list of fixes, so I'll just omit them. Congratulations for the very high quality entry!

By the way, I'm sorry that my entry crashed for you. I am yet trying to figure out why that happened, but thank you for the feedback! :)
