Fun Game! I really like the bloomy pixel graphics and the overall mood it sets. The controls where a bit stiff and could have used a bit more focus. Overall a very nice entry.
Well done!

Feels smooth and polished. Good gameplay and I really like the pixel graphics. Good job!

zugende 2016-04-19 20:36

Dude, this bloom look is awesome!!!

bloodjohn 2016-04-19 20:42

Nice graphics and sound. Very nice.

seleb 2016-04-19 20:55

The graphics were nice, but I think you went a bit overboard on the glow effects.

ryusui 2016-04-19 21:13

Very nicely put together on all fronts. I'd love to see an expanded version with more levels. :3

zaywolfe 2016-04-19 21:29

Great game. The puzzles were nice and the mechanics were sound. I did have a bug though when a chick got stuck on my head and I got trapped lol

blobo 2016-04-19 22:44

Pretty neat. the bloom filter could be toned down though.

reismahnic 2016-04-19 22:45

Took me a little bit to figure out the core mechanic of changing my shot types, but once I understood it I had a great time! BEAUTIFUL visuals! I liked having the chicken flip the door switch. I had a couple small issues like getting stuck between blocks on occasion, but overall you did REALLY well!

blob 2016-04-19 22:54

Love it, extremely well made with nice mood, mechanics and sweet little details like grass pushed when you walk by. I could not get weapon change to work though so got stuck...

jcmonkey 2016-04-19 22:56

pretty good game. i like the idea of having to make your puzzle pieces for the game.

roland-m 2016-04-19 23:02

Man, this a really fun game i liked how you implemented the shape shift

psychomonster 2016-04-20 00:00

Nice chicken... It was really cute to see it running an floating ... good mechanics, good state of polishment... are the coins good for something? The pixelart is really nicely done, some fx are too heavy in my eyes... maybe the bloom should be reduced by 25% if that is possible... the night level was fun... but the traps were hard to recognize... but all in all are very good start into ludumdare !

neontropics 2016-04-20 22:28

Seems cool but I a bit confusing switching between weapons and figuring out the right stuff to do !

legavroche 2016-04-21 00:06

Awesome game and great work! Really enjoyed your art and use of theme

fafastudio 2016-04-21 13:33

Really appreciate the art and the mood, nice game really good for a first ludum :)

2016-04-21 14:03

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

2016-04-21 15:09

IS GRAPHICS EVERYTHING?! think about it....?

wolves-direwolf 2016-04-21 19:25

Fun game. Mechanics work well and I like your application of the theme. Graphics were cool too. The levels could have used some variety though.

gametery 2016-04-21 20:46

The Graphics were really cool and the theme well implemented. It was hard to figure
out the goal. After getting the coins I didnt know what to to. Beside that nicely done!

saiodin 2016-04-21 21:17

Thank you for all the comments!

I updated the description to answer the most common problems people had to progress

@Bloom: Might have really overdone it with that :)
@Level variety: Trust me, I wanted to! But I just couldn't make more in the 48 hours.
@Tighter controls: True, I weren't fully happy but had to move on with other features
@Chicken stuck on head: That is indeed a bug :x
@Stuck between boxes: A bug I introduced last minute it seems, when I added some shot particle effects. The player shot isn't supposed to go through multiple enemis. But if you get stuck between boxes, just use the chicken shot!

@Freank: I will put the game up, but the site seems to be down atm.

blob 2016-04-22 20:28

Hey, thanks for playing my game. Regarding the controls: Yeah I know it's 1-4, it just didnt do anything for me! :p
I tried on the numpad, or above the letters and then everywhere on the keyboard and I could never change weapon!

balbinoaylagas 2016-04-24 06:26

loved the graphics. the controls where smooth enough and i had fun playing it. awesome work!

lochmann-apps 2016-04-26 12:55

Great game! Really liked all of its features :) Good looking effects and the pixelart style is beautiful

plko 2016-04-26 21:26

good puzzle 2D platformer!!
Maybe you can try other 2d game engine to get it displays better next time.

pixelpotions 2016-04-27 15:26

There's a big, a enormous dust in my eyes right now...
I can't describe the feeling, the mood, when I notice I was totally emerged... A W E S O M E job!

phocker 2016-04-29 04:10

really nice game - love the graphics and the idea for shifting - nice job

taro 2016-04-30 00:01

Pretty neat game. Thought the platforming was fair (despite my stream's frame-rate issues), and the puzzles were straight-forward. I thought it was a little too simple, and would have really wished to see the different items be used in interesting combinations. As an example, it'll be cool to stack blocks by turning one into a chicken, throwing one on top of another crate, then returning the chicken into a block again.

thecain 2016-05-03 00:34

Beautiful game. My only issue is that the Chicken/Lever mechanic is not telegraphed.

rock-eaters 2016-05-08 13:59

Really fun game ! Good graphics !

acuity 2016-05-09 20:10

I found a bug! If you let the rock drop on you on the 2nd level, the rock becomes intangible afterwards...

This is a cool game though. Good stuff!
