Watched him make the game; Amazing! I love it
it is fun and a really good idea!! but when i have to battle the boss it doesn't appear on screen and i can't hit him :(
Been waiting all weekend to play this game! Amazing man!
Only problem is that I couldn't damage the boss! (By the way I am Oliverw122 from the stream)
I love it! Lots of fun and works really well! Keep up the good work!
That was fun. I love the ship physics! I wish there was some indicator of enemy health though. Well done overall!
Boss didn't load....
VERY WELL DONE! This is amazing how polished this game is with how little time you had to create it. Unfortunately, I got to the boss, and I could not kill him. Not for lack of skill. When the boss was at about 10% health, he would no longer take damage of any kind. Additionally, I could only see his guns at the end of the screen, he was not actually visible on the screen. That may have something to do with it. Other than that, amazing game! Great!
Awesome game, awesome mood, awesome gameplay.
Loved the game. Frankly when I heard the theme, I thought "Someone must make a Robotech/Macross game". And here we are!
This was fun! I especially like how the music changes while you're a ship.
That was really cool! A very solid game overall. Loved the voice over too.
The audio, graphics, gameplay, and transitions were very good, but there were a few problems.
Ships can go offscreen in the horizontal ship mode, regular player movement is glitchy and eventually I broke it so I was halfway in the floor.
Gameplay wise there were a few teases that were disappointing to not see implemented. For one, the player's giant sword didn't do anything other than block when crouching which is kind of dissapointing considering it's right in your face. Another thing was that the boss had laser beams over the center as though you had planned to have to wait for the lasers to turn off before you could actually damage the boss. That would have been a great idea in my opinion.
Also yay I beat it! http://i.pxl.lt/Ck49Pd.png
Cool! I really like space games! Reminds me Gundan.
Transforming into the ship then going up & down or left & right was pretty cool, nice level design! -t
Very fun to play! The three types of gameplay all work very well, though I noticed a glitch that would mainly affect the standard side-scrolling gameplay where I would be somewhat wedged into the ground, making some platforming sections a bit difficult. Great job though!
fun to play and music is great, could not kill boss , not yet anyway, still playing...Good James in getting this done in the Ludum Dare weekend, and it was great to watch it being made on twitch
Nice entry man! Had fun playing this game, and now I am one of the true :D
Some constructive points: "humanoid"enemies doesn't turn when the player jump over them, maybe this is a design decision, but I can jump and then kill them. Sometimes I hear "SHIFT", but no visual text about this and pressing shift doesn't shift the character. Also, sometimes when shifting from spaceship to robot, the character had the wrong rotation.
Hope to see you around here, see ya!

Ahh, I tested the OS/X version, it didn't run, I had to go to 'Shipshifters.app/Content/MacOS/' and run 'chmod +x Shipshifters' on command line to make it run ;)
hey man love the game love the youtube channel
Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
A solid game. I wish the transitions between mecha and ship would be more fast paced. Anyway you managed to pack a lot in such a short time. Kudos
Nice job! Collision boxes were a bit big it seemed like but otherwise I loved it!
Very action-y. Reminded me of a old style NES game. Some minor things I noticed why playing. None of these affected your rating they are just feedback.
1. You can remove the .pdb files that are generated as they are just debug info and by removing them you will make the download smaller.
2. When the player respawns he is rotated a little.
3. When I was told to shift I would press shift but it took a few presses to get the game to respond.
4. The camera movements when moving left or right are really abrupt and made it hard to control the player. This didn't happen all the time just some of the time.
5. On the second time to get the saw blades I think some of the bottom ones are doubling up. I destroyed one and got the particle effect but the blade was still there.
Its a really nice game and I enjoyed playing it and watching you create it. I hope you can find time after the Jam to work on it and I hope you will participate in the next Ludum Dare!
I had fun. I managed to somehow rotate the player character, and it made things look very awkward (like jets coming out of the front of his feet). It didn't effect gameplay at all though, so nbd. I was able to beat the boss, but since I had my eyes on myself the entire time, I can't verify whether or not the health bar stopped like other comments have pointed out.
changinf from platformer to shooter is really great, i like the transformers atmosphere but the graphics could be better. Good game anyway
