I like the claustrophobic feeling of the dungeon, very atmospheric. The big red guy looks great, made me laugh.A little hard to see what's ahead of you when moving downscren with the interface element at the bottom. Impressive work.

Reminded me of a top-down Daggerfall, which is no bad thing! Apart from that though, it still needs a lot of polish. The combat felt dull - the little orange damage indicators aren't enough to let you know what's going on, and the lack of animation or feedback doesn't help either. Another observation - it doesn't make sense that I can walk down those narrower corridors when in the big red guy form. A solid start here, but could do with quite a bit more work I think. Ambient music was nice.

I like the graphics, but I have a few other problems with the game:
There wasn't any attacking animations for the enemies.
The 2nd form seemed to be missing a sprite.
It was too easy to die.

I like the pixel graphics makes it feel old dungeon crawler.

I LOVE the aesthetic. It's very PS1, which I have a soft spot for, so maybe I'm biased. But it gives this great sense of claustrophobia. I'd love to see this expanded into something bigger - I think the AI responding to the player state is great, but could be expanded to be really interesting. Great work!

Very impressive amount of work you accomplished! Your skill level at making games is great, but honestly I didn't find this fun or innovative. Very sluggish controls. Still, you did amazing work for 48 hours.

Why won't this ghost die I am stabbing it so much... oh

I didnt quite see the point of the different heros, but perhaps you ran out of time? Good concept though, and nice mood with the audio and cramped dungeon size

Really love the graphic style and lighting! I found it a bit hard, but maybe I'm missing something.

biscuitdough 2016-04-18 03:41

Impressive scope! wished my movement speed was just a little faster. graphics and mood were great.

candlesan 2016-04-18 04:32

Lots of cool characters.

luquio 2016-04-18 09:09

Fun gameplay, want to see more of this

jni 2016-04-18 15:22

I like the graphic style, but it wasn't clear if enemys are attacking, so it was difficult to dont die :D

framematt 2016-04-18 15:28

Nice one
Lovely graphics~

dkoding 2016-04-18 15:58

Liked the top down dungeon 3d viewpoint. Some enemies seemed invulnerable?

maxamaden 2016-04-18 17:17

Love it! Awesome game, keep up the good work!

pjimmy 2016-04-18 18:14

Super cool, I love the style of the graphics!

cowa 2016-04-18 18:25

Nice graphics!

looks really good and I like the atmosphere, but I wasn't totally sure what two of the forms did? I didn't seem to be able to attack with 2 or 4.

phantom-lab 2016-04-18 18:42

2 is good for sneaking past enemies - as a phantom they wont see you unless you almost run into them.
4 heals you but attracts enemies.

barkingcat 2016-04-18 20:02

Overall nice game, the only thing I complain about is the lack of feedback for some animations and the clunky movement. it was enjoyable

superizzo 2016-04-18 23:19

Very cool visuals and a good selection of shapeshift forms.

norseware 2016-04-19 03:08

Nice idea with the downward view, it was an interesting play! The controls were okay, but it took way too long to kill enemies, and you moved very slowly. It just feels very "sluggish". But I liked the pixel characters mixed with the 3D environment, very different! Nice work :)

voider 2016-04-19 03:44

Great graphics! Awesome lighting. Nice game overall!

joemid 2016-04-19 05:34

Love the graphic style and the overall look. I didn't realize that I was being hit by an enemy until I was already dead!

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

blackoptics8 2016-04-24 07:43

The gameplay is enjoyable. The music is a little sub-par just being 4 notes but is pretty ambient considering. Mechanics were thought out and timeout between shape shifting was a nice touch. Great entry ;D

marmpa 2016-04-24 13:45

Really nice game!! I really liked the art style and the birds kinda eye view.

garygreen 2016-04-24 18:06

That was fun. It might have been good to animate the enemies a bit more, but on the whole I enjoyed and liked the art style. Nice work.

linealgames 2016-04-24 20:31

I love the top down view and the graphics although some of the green enemies would never die no matter how many time I hit them

fin_nolimit 2016-04-24 23:35

Very nice!!! A top down slightly 3D look!!! Very nice and a little creepy (a good way creepy) I died a few times VERY EASILY lol but I had a great time playing

rock-eaters 2016-04-28 23:32

i think the monster is a little to big but the concept is good

thecams 2016-05-04 12:26

Nice entry, just needs a bit of balancing, but nice atmosphere :)
