Please let me know what you think. I know its not the best Ludum dare submission, but that lets me do post work! It was fun making this. If you want something in this game (like hats or objects) let me know here in the comments!

Cool game. Cool core mechanic, good job! And good luck with future work for this game.

The boxes keep getting stuck in the ground :(

Maybe some criticism for improvement: For me it was not quite clear why the blob could kill the baddies while in box form, especially since pressing attack in box form just made me quit the box. Maybe a visual cue could help here, for instance have an attack animation that plays every time you exit the box so that the player knows that's the way to attack.

To get bang out of your game I would suggest the video "The art of screenshake" by Jan Willem Nijman of Vlambeer. It gives a lot of good pointers for adding more crunch to your game.

Of course, music always helps to set the mood.

Jin47 - Yes I know about the Block in floor bug... Im sorry, will be fixed soon.

Mieeh - Thanks

Roland M - I WILL!!!

Cerno_b - Again, I know about the stuck in ground bug. It will be fixed. Also, I apologize that it was a bit confusing. I will add more animations and a story/plot line. Pretty much, Its like a stealth game. I wanted you to have to sneak up on enemies by taking different forms, so you can attack them with out them see/killing you. In the final game I am wanting the enemies to be a lot faster, also include different attacks (weapons?)

Valmbeer you say.... HAHAHA!!! (I laugh because they are awesome and this game is partly inspired by them and all their games!!)

And last Ludum Dare I did, I added music, and I think I wasted to much time on it (About 6 to 8 hours)

Nice the controls were goods and quick. upping the weight of the boxes might have been nice.

There were a few glitches with getting boxes getting stuck in the ground, but other than that, fun little game. Really interesting mechanic.

I like the aesthetic. I encountered a lot of bugs related to getting stuck in the ground, though. Ah, collision detection...

Poor game, didn't like mechanics, didn't responds as i wanted.
