Ok i enjoy that one. I relly like how the game start. And it's a great idea the way how the player destroy stuff. Really good work. great.

I think it was the best game i've played so far this ludumdare , the idea of the sound of knocking on the gameplay was well executed and the glitch effect in the background was very cool.
Take a look at my game: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=92096

I love the idea, but where is the shapeshift ?

skruffye 2016-04-19 19:48

Really fun game, the idea was great and the gameplay was smooth.
My main complaint was that when you changed dimensions, you almost invariably hit something in the other dimension as soon as you appeared. Maybe have a faint overlay of the other dimension or something?
Overall, great job! :D

@AdamsMcCall Thanks!

We were a little concerned that the game's connection to the theme was weak... It's kind of hard to see, but when you shift dimensions, you shift shape (between a long rectangle and a tall rectangle). Also, you shift shape when you attack.

Very challenging and difficult boss. I felt that in order to enjoy the music you had to be good at it, but I liked the psychadelic look that you were going for.

schizoid2k 2016-04-20 01:14

Nice job. Man, the second level gets hard quick!

roadtosalvation 2016-04-20 05:17

Great game, solid visuals and music. Didnt relate to theme too much but perspective change is unique mechanic, albiet frustrating sometimes. Control could be a little tighter felt kinda floaty. Boss was too hard imo. Tried at least 20 times and gave up. Overall cool rhythm game, pretty similar to mine actually haha check it out.

Looks and sounds really nice. The shapeshifting mechanism has a great feeling to it, when you nail one of those destructible objects, sweet!

shatterpointstudios 2016-04-21 18:18

Really love this idea, but it was too difficult for me (maybe I just suck haha). Art style is really interesting.

Good game, i like the techno music. keep up ;)

Its always nice to see someone make a good rythmgame. Good job on this one. Its pretty hard, because checkpoints aren't frequent but other than that its great.
Didn't get the shapeshifting theme from this though.

herszkorn-sacha 2016-04-22 16:22

Awesome.

apantaloni 2016-04-22 17:01

This is very hard, very fun and very awesome! You die (well, I die... ;) ) all the time and you want to keep going just one more time. Again and again. I love how the visuals and the mechanics match the music, and how it throws new stuff at you all the time. Congrats!

omarhuseynov011 2016-04-22 18:24

Really cool game! Loved how you actually need to follow the beat to beat the game :D

hempuli 2016-04-24 00:25

The shifting mechanic was cool on paper but felt pretty frustrating due to the way it always centered me when changing planes; this caused a lot of frustration. The graphics and audio are extremely sweet. I got to the first boss.

emmelineprufrock 2016-04-24 21:08

Difficulty was a bit high for me (but precision is not something I'm super good at). Love the look and feel.

buzzwerd 2016-04-24 22:48

A really difficult game, but incredibly satisfying. Could use a little streamlining with the level design (which you did in the post jam version).

iossif 2016-04-25 22:21

the colors and everything looked cool but made it sometimes very hard to see level parts and/or enemies. maybe a tweaked contrast can make this entry even better with little work.

watashiwanekodesu 2016-04-26 14:17

Good and fun game !
Go vote mine ! :)

Gorgeous visualfx, solid gameplay, and a simple yet versatile mechanic. I like :)

bsoddevguild 2016-04-28 14:13

Nice one! I'll play through it one day.

davor10105 2016-04-29 21:15

love the game, its very addictive!

el_cabaro 2016-05-03 00:12

Wow, very neat and beat-centric game. That boss is incredibly difficult- we tried for a good 25 minutes and although we memorized the attack patterns up until the double-layered shot of grey with one red, we just couldn't BEAT it. We really enjoyed the "shooting on beat" mechanic. Well done.

kestrelgames 2016-05-03 17:39

Whoa, awesomely trippy! The mechanic of attacking automatically on the beat is great. The visual style is nice but the glitching is a bit strong/large maybe? the cow game is hilarious btw! Can't believe that was all made in the jam.

sunflower 2016-05-03 17:53

Yay, I *beat* the supermassive discoball!

One of the more enjoyable entries this dare, despite being quite difficult and unforgiving at times. Dunno if I wouldn't prefer this game being made for some other soundtrack, but complaining about it would be just picky. Very well done! ^^

Spotline 2016-05-05 09:22

Neat game, well done ! Very 140 ;)

yumeito 2016-05-06 20:53

Nice little game :)

jirrev 2016-05-07 22:26

Nice background recolloring, liked how it was so simpe but also so hard

hazzahazzam 2016-05-08 02:34

Where does the theme come into play? Plus gotta love the Kevin MacLeod music! :P

maekeruu 2016-05-08 06:03

the colors wow ! that shapeshift mechanic took me a while to notice

yuigoto 2016-05-09 08:52

Loved the concept, the level design is really challeging! Having events happen synchronized with the rhythm is always nice and cool! :)

The graphics are simple, but trippy and really effective! :) Controls work perfectly, but changing dimensions, sometimes means certain death, this could be changed, somehow! ;)

Great entry!

qubodup 2016-05-13 07:38

Very cool! Quite 140, agreed!
