LD35 — Shapeshift

The Ragdoll Show by Ken Ichi 2016-04-21T12:00:00

Good take on the theme, shame about the controls. I'm guessing you didn't make that ragdoll model in the 48 hours!

Slicer by GoudaGames 2016-04-20T12:16:00

Really good take on the theme. It feels like there's a really, really good game hiding in there, but I had to give up on the second level because it's too hard.

If it was hard because you had to think about how to arrange the slicers to make it work then that would be really good. Unfortunately its hard because you don't have anywhere near enough time to place them, they get removed between each attempt, and they're kind of awkward to place (you have to click on the track rather than being able to click near it).

So yeah, I don't think it's too difficult, I think it's the wrong kind of difficulty. It should be logical difficulty not mechanical difficulty.

I'm honestly kind of gutted because it seems like this could be a really great game but as it stands right now, it's just too frustrating to play. Sorry!

Loved it

This is brilliant! Very well done. Sounds like an air hockey table.

Brilliant, really nicely done

Cavern of Flight by Hempuli 2016-04-19T22:36:00

Very nice graphics, animation, audio, really well put together. Great atmosphere. A bit too similar to Limbo though. Got stuck and didn't reach the shapeshifting, I got frustrated because the spider kept killing me.

Overall really nice work!

Ninety Eight by AndreSilvs 2016-04-20T11:59:00

Nice game. Simple but feels well balanced and progresses nicely. Good to see you're using C++/OpenGL!

Polymorph by dsmeathers 2016-04-18T12:50:00

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I think I might have the brightness on my monitor turned up too high, I've just seen it on someone else's and I agree it's really hard to see what's going on :(

SizeBlock by MrMegawatts 2016-04-19T12:01:00

Nice! Well designed, fits the theme, very good progression.

Wisdom by Xakkar 2016-04-18T12:33:00

It's good! The bushes look like you shouldn't be able to walk through them though, that confused me for a bit.

Freeform by Faulkin 2016-04-20T11:52:00

I agree, great take on the theme!

UNDERCOVER by FenyesJ 2016-04-18T12:42:00

Looks cool! Not really a game though, unless I'm missing something?

Georena by sbeif 2016-04-18T12:15:00

It's good! Too hard though, it's a few too many buttons to remember at once. I'd consider starting off with some smaller waves and maybe having the player rotation happen automatically.

Chess Brawler Legendary Console Edition by TCD 2016-04-18T12:18:00

Doesn't run, it has a missing dll: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.

Shape Runner by ohi12 2016-04-20T12:04:00

Once I'd survived long enough to figure out what the hell was going on, it was good! A simple take on the theme, but it works well.
