Made it to level 12, but couldn't get to the end! Arg!
Love the shape/color shifting mechanic and the level design, lots of tricks here and there until you figure out which is the best course of action to get to the end.
Perhaps I would add a mouse control, in order to move the camera more precisely.
Congratulations on the game!

That game looks simple but I had really fun with it. Nice. Even that the music change by opening the menu is a good one. Good job :)

Interesting levels.
Would be better if the W/D is strafe instead of turn around

Very cool game, I managed to play more than intended - it's captivating fun.

Interesting game play. I felt like the controls were a bit too sensitive at times. This could be remedied by having some sort of sensitivity adjustment the player can change. Also, I think you should tell the player what shape he needs to become on the status bar so he does not have to go find it. This is a nice idea and if you add a few more game play elements sprinkled throughout the levels ( maybe a new element or mechanic every 10 levels), you could definitely entertain someone for 100 levels.

I enjoyed this very much. Pretty unique.

Interesting idea but it's a shame the controls were this sensitive, I stopped at the 13th level because that camera made me rage too much :(. Still great though!

Very nice and fun. Interesting way you present one mechanic end turn it completly around in the next level. Nicely done.

I like this game :) it's very simple, but I would have preferred the turning to be done with mouse, because it's hard to aim with arrow key rotation and some of those shapes are fast O.o Also that music, after some levels it really started to annoy me :o

Nice and simple with the shapes and colors. Good job. :)

This was simple and well done. I felt like a little shape ninja sneaking in to grab the yellow triangle in level 13.

I liked the floaty controls. They took some getting used to, but once I pictured myself more like I was driving a car it became easier.

Pretty tricky game, I like I how the levels were designed to make me learn the system. The music made the atmosphere kinda creepy, nice! I didn't like the wobble effect on the shapes, it made it quite jarring to look at. Nice colour scheme and nice implementation of the theme!

I had to stop playing before I don't get to any of the other ludumdare entries :P

I love this idea, mostly 5 stars! Could have used slightly better music although I liked the transforming music.

adsilcott 2016-04-23 02:23

Cool concept and really fun! I played all the way through. :)

Please check archive with Linux bulid. It fails to open. Still I was able to play Windows version. Pretty good entry, I like how puzzle is combined with action. Music style is interesting too.

Nice and simple game, intresting idea, good controls.

panicq 2016-04-26 20:01

This is a nice game ! Well done :)

lostalloy 2016-04-29 23:29

Great entry, I think the bgm really adds to the mood! Windows version is working fine :D

Simple yet really entertaining

I really like the use of the theme in your game. I also recommend to use the mouse to look. Great job!
