Looks messy, but interesting

I made a shape and it doesn't work... LAME.

I beat it. Pretty interesting concept. The positional audio is a really cool effect.

It had great sound and some fun concepts. I had some issues running the game personally but it did work so I didn't play much :( Nice work though.

pretty choppy.

Quite cool and surprisingly good voice work. Well done!

The idea is amazing, and the story is great. But it is really difficult to find the perfect place, to see the symbols and shapes.

Not sure if i'm supposed to be able to move :( i can only look around and can't trigger anymore sounds. Are there some controls i don't know about?

weaverdeveloper 2016-04-21 01:48

Very interesting concept, but it could do with some more user-friendliness.

Controls dont seem to work on the web version. I'm using chrome.

arvydas 2016-04-21 02:00

Hmm, controls aren't seeming to work. Looks like could be an interesting game!

mattwoelk 2016-04-21 02:39

To those for whom the controls aren't working, I see the problem only in the embed on this page, and only sometimes. Click through the "Web" link on the page for a better experience.

Thank you all for your comments! Making this game was tough and I'm very proud of the final result! :)

I like the idea of changing perspective to see new shapes. A unique take on shapeshifting!

kairosxiii 2016-04-21 04:24

Nice voice overs. The game itself was very choppy though, tough to play.

jni 2016-04-21 13:22

A good game, I like the perpective change!

mountainstorm 2016-04-21 17:32

Nice idea - very strong on theme

fin_nolimit 2016-04-22 03:24

Wow, yeah, the scene was incredible. Looking up and seeing the sun and clouds... very real! I've never worked with 3D before so I have no idea what that takes but it looks like a massive project for just 72 hours. Nice job!!!

studdert249 2016-04-22 12:17

An interesting take on the shapeshift theme and the voice acting was well done.

neondx 2016-04-23 15:26

interresting concept, but a little hard to handle for a jam! nice entry anyway

onlyslightly 2016-04-24 21:26

Super cool concept! This was an awesome direction to go in this game. And I liked the audio narrative touch to bring it all together. Great job!

powerspark 2016-04-26 00:46

I couldn't finish, but good job with what I heard of the story :)

jakecarewickgmail-com 2016-04-26 03:23

I really like the concept, but it's a little difficult to find where the hidden shapes are. Are there rules to the puzzle? It would have been neat if you had to look for the negative space to create a series of shapes, or maybe look through the holes in some shapes to uncover the invisible shapes.

The 3D positional sound was awesome, but it would have helped if it could be heard from just a little further away. The voice acting was great, and extremely clear. I also liked the way the music seemed to gradually introduce more elements as I discovered parts of the puzzle. It had incredible atmosphere too.

mkghoster 2016-04-26 19:55

It was hard to find the shapes but I just couldn't quit the game. I had to find all of them.
I really liked the idea and the execution. The music also strenghtened the experience.
On of the best entries I have seen!

davor10105 2016-04-29 17:28

i love the concept, but its waaaaay to hard to find the hidden object, you gotta be standing literally next to the object to hear the wooshing sound, and even then its hard. i really wanted to hear the rest of the story, but i only managed to find 2 object :( great job otherwise guys!

seconddimension 2016-05-02 11:10

A very clever idea and really relaxing to play. Finding the shapes and hearing more of the story was a really nice concept.

jupiter_hadley 2016-05-02 16:15

Interesting game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/CILyMGd9ZnE

aflatminerstudios 2016-05-03 15:31

Neat idea, very chill game. Were there rules to which shapes gave you story that I was missing or was it as random as it seems? My only complaint really is that I couldn't figure out how to find "shapes" other than randomly running around and hoping. Perhaps if the noise indicating you were near the right spot started from a bit further away, that would have helped? Still, though, very neat concept.

yuigoto 2016-05-09 20:59

Great work! Loved how you worked with the shapes but, as some people said, it's kinda hard to find'em all, couldn't stop until I found everything, though. :P

The graphics are just perfect for the style and the setting, together with the audio, sets some nice mood! The narrative is really good too! :)

Challenging in its own way, but very pleasing to play! Congrats on the result! :D
