The idea is very interesting!

Amazing, pretty original, nice gameplay, the graphics are really nice, the only bad thing is the wait time between every match, you need to wait till reset and then till the items gone, but obviating that small detail pretty nice entry, good job!

Super cute game. I like how the correct shape isn't perfectly obvious and you have to look around to get it right. Animation and graphics are very cute.

This was a really cool original. Well done with the mood and Innovation especially.

interesting idea, but i couldnt get the dad to not catch me. and it also took a long time to reset.

Interesting idea. Made me realize that my memory isn't that great ;) Nice music and drawings!

Great idea for a memory game. The art is nice too.

Really cool idea! We had something similar in mind, but decided to go with another idea. Really good to see someone else doing a similar approach! I liked the mood of this, the moster is cool and you really need good reflexes for this! I finally had to go with easy, but if I had more time, I would try it on nightmare too! For improvement, you could signal when a right choice is made before dad is killing you.

Interesting Idea, just very confused what items are the correct ones to shapeshift into. Maybe I'm just stupid...

What a fantastic game! So simple, but so tense! The graphics are lovely, and the sound effects when you eat the kid! AMAZING :D I love it

I was a little confused at times at what I should shapeshift into because there didn't seem to be much in the room.

I think the game's biggest weakness is its iteration time. If you were simply sent back to the beginning of the level after being caught, the game would be much more playable. I also think shuffling the button mapping was a bit unnecessary. I couldn't keep them straight. The game's visuals are great though, and the concept is very fun.

Even on the easiest difficulty the game itself is ridiculously hard because of how insanely eagle-eyed the Dad is but I like the concept a lot plus I loved the art style.

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

Thanks everyone for the comments! The feedback is helping us a lot on deciding what we did good and wrong so that we can improve the overall for the next LD. Please feel free to say honestly what you think.
@Freank of course you can use it for a video :D

Original idea with great hand-drawn graphics. Took me ages to realise it was spacebar to move, and then I was pressing keys at random for shapeshifting - rarely the right shape.

Great entry, and I think proves everybody on here has poor memory skills haha

Saw your blog post. love the bouncy animation on the purple monster. Fun memory game, could work for kids! Definitely tweak that difficulty, dad is totally mean as hell.

Very Original ! Cute game ! cool controls

gelisam 2016-05-08 16:55

A suggestion: when I transform into an object which I think is appropriate but the dad doesn't, maybe show an example object which would have been appropriate for that location?
