Put me in mind of the great Spy Hunter right away. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

Smooth and engaging gameplay although I did find myself wishing I could see a little more of the road ahead. Solid sound and visuals.

thanks panurge :) I stuck to the NES resolution which makes it had to see ahead at the sprite size I chose.

Nice game.

yeah like the guy above said, major spyhunter vibes.
LOL at my fighter jet not being able to handle balloons though XD

Nice entry, also cool visuals - although the background patterns get repetitive quickly. Liked the shapeshift for terrains idea!

I love how a couple balloons will take out the jet

I immediately thought of Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed's rapid switching between car, boat and plane. The super bright and chunky visuals do wonders.

The engine noise I really wasn't a fan of, though. From what I played the sections of each type are the same length every time - maybe a way to take this further would be switching tracks of music alongside each transformation~

thanks for all the feed back! have to admit, a jet being taken out by balloons is absurd :p

Hey, this is pretty fun. I had a little trouble distinguishing between what I was supposed to run into and what I wasn't, but only took a couple tries before getting that sorted.

This is solidly put together.

I like the idea you chose. The first couple runs I didn't get the whole shifting thing. Then I noticed the icon :p

What kind of zany world is this? Road to sky to water to road again?! This is madness!

:P

haha, @16BitsOfAwesome. lunacy I tell you, lunacy!

Really nice :) Totally reminded me of Spy Hunter

Fun game.
I died when I ran into a box that spawned right after a shifter =(

kivlor 2016-04-19 06:54

sorry @bagface, it's a known bug I thought I had squashed during development :/

kivlor 2016-04-19 06:56

after all the spyhunter comments I decided to look into it and I see what you all mean!! one of the things on my idea list was to add guns... maybe I'll make a polished version and add them in :D

Simple and addictive game. Fits theme well. Ive made 611 points. Congrats.

Nice sprites. It was a little confusing in the beginning which were the shift "powerups" and which were the obstacles but I worked it out. Would have loved to see and explosion or two when you hit something though.
