Nice one! Although some sounds and more action would be cool, ;P

Grats on your first LD/game. A couple of quick pro tips: 1) Web should link to a page where the game can just be played, not to a zip file that needs downloading. I know it's possible to do that in Dropbox somehow, but you're probably better off using itch.io. 2) It's good to make sure that not just the zip (good job there) but also the folder inside are uniquely named.
On the game itself: Simple, but you gotta start somewhere. I didn't find it fun to play because the combination of having little time to see what was coming and the controls not being great meant that I hit every barrier. But your message at the end made me giggle.
Good luck with future gamedev endeavors. :D I hope you learned a lot this time around.
Grats on finishing your first game! Hopefully, you had a great time!
Nice simple little game, was fun!
nice concept, but needs some sound, better graphics, and the camera should show more towards the bottom of the screen so you can see what's coming
Thanks for the comments, I'll look up itch.io, I saw the thing with dropbox but dunno how to do yet.
About the camera, it's already planned, I'll fix the game later, I certain that if I do all the things planned in my list, it could actually be fun :D
Cya you guys next LD !
I added a new web link it works like a charm with firefox :)
I think I hit "-You may get out of track if you change shape at certain moment", although the timer ended shortly after I got stuck so it didn't really matter.
I like your take on the theme--cute to use shift as the character and shift between the different key shapes.
Other than that, I think I agree with the things you wanted to do. I also agree that the movement was pretty bad. Is it meant to take a bunch of taps of the key to move a little bit? Well, I'm sure you'll improve your gamedev velocity and be able to implement more ideas in future LDs. :)
Hi!
Hi there the31 :) Thanks for the nice comment.
I agree I liked my base idea, it could be a lot better with few improvements, but yeah I needed more time last WE as I spent quite a bit on "How the hell do I do that" and not enough on "Well, I'll improve that, I still have 12h" ^^
See you next LD on IRC :)
Cool little game. Nice for Android or iOS ports
Yes! Just succeed in reaching a score over 400 (thanks to the randomness for the many space holes).
Of course it's expandable with music, eventually level design etc. But we all know that time problem, and for your first ludum dare, great job :)
Hey I was too busy theses day to hang out on ld.com, didn't noticed thoses nice comments, thanks :D
I'll start to upgrade this game to an actually enjoyable one :p
