quite fun

This was awesome! I "love" seeing love2d pushed to the max to create such an awesome and professional looking game. This is one of the few games here that has me engrossed! Great Job! Also, the puzzler mechanic is sweet!

Fun, I kept overlooking the simplest things, but that was just my fault. Love the graphical style of it.

Fun and challenging already from the start. Very nice graphics and fitting audio.

It's good. Although I'm not really a fan of the genre I can see that some thought has gone into planning this. Maybe the levels may be a bit smaller in the beginning to allow for a bit more motivation. Sadly, background music is missing and I found that the object sometimes hangs at corners. Other than that, a good game.

Could you please provide a Linux build?

Good work on the puzzle design, really enjoyed it.

Nice art and a very polished game. The movement is a little glitchy though!

Great game. One of the few puzzles I liked so far. Really cool, and clever too.

Really Smart! You combine very well the colors and the shapeshifting! congrats!

Brilliant entry! The take on the theme is clever, gameplay is clear and challenging, and it feels very polished, I can very easily become a full game :)

Congrats!

Great game :)

Very nice! The puzzles were fairly straightforward but the relaxing pace and sleek look held the game together really nicely. I could see a more complicated version being made out of this.

This was frustrating at first, but give it a go, this is an amazing game to play.

Love the simplistic art style. Puzzles had me stumped!

huminaboz 2016-04-19 04:58

This is a fun, innovative game and matches the theme well, great job!

Great game, it is unbelievably polished for a Compo game; more so than a lot of Jam games even. Very cool concept and well designed and levels.

The menu is also the nicest one I have come across so far.

Most amazing game i've played !!!! For god sake there's amap editor !!

Nice amount of things to shift your shape, really well made puzzler! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/jRtyhvCwxto

Very good and polished game! Really like your take on the theme, the idea and the art style :)

Had some fun solving these gated puzzles. Would have liked an option to see the entire map. Also, some levels seemed to have dead-ends that, at least from my perspective, served no purpose. Would have liked to see those things removed.

bulletsarepeopletoo 2016-04-22 23:57

Overall a decent puzzle game. Would have loved some background music though.

mintarcade 2016-04-23 09:03

Very cool game. Interesting take on a theme. Level progression quite steep, but still awesome.

boltkey 2016-04-25 21:56

I really like the concept, but I don't feel there is too much analysis and planning needed. You know, there were like two points where I had to stop and think for a while, otherwise my moves were pretty much given.

I would like to see perhaps smaller levels which you can see all at once, but with much more possibilities, where you have like 5 different shapes that all look correct at the first sight, but only one of them can get to the finish eventually. Then you would have to actually think about what are you doing, and perhaps even backtrack from the finish to find out the whole solution.

I like the sounds.

Oh shit, there is a map editor. I already managed to discover basic controls (wasd to move, tab to change layer, and mouse wheel to change block type (a bit counter intuitive)). I however have no idea if or how can I play the level. I would love to create some custom levels.

nice game :) minimalist artstyle is really good and appealing :D
simple but great! i love the map editor

jk5000 2016-04-26 11:23

Very well done.

xanjos 2016-04-26 15:31

Managed to finish all the levels but this was a fun and interesting entry and the puzzles were well thought out.

crazyrems 2016-04-26 21:50

Great entry.
Movements are a bit too rigid and little jumps when you switch shape/color are the only little annoying things.
I envy to have my game being only 2MB ;)
