LD35 — Shapeshift

PERMUTATE by TravisChen 2016-04-19T02:56:00

The ambiance in this game is very calming and relaxing. The mechanics are very unique and interesting as well.

Shapeshifter Biker by Reuno 2016-04-19T01:15:00

This is quite the neat idea, and I had quite a decent amount of fun playing it. I did enjoy the nice peaceful music *quite* a bit, and I felt like it fit the game.

Morph Ranger by mrnannings 2016-04-18T18:23:00

Love it! The gameplay is unique, and I the art & animation style is awesome!

SHAPE.SHIFT() by Xanjos 2016-04-18T23:55:00

I like the visuals, and the idea, but the game is *very* difficult. I had a lot of trouble trying to get at least one point.

Imperfection by Wertle 2016-04-19T00:52:00

It's an interesting idea, but I'm somewhat confused as to what I'm actually supposed to do here.

In Miniature by koujaku 2016-04-19T03:41:00

Interesting environments and ambiance. Controls are a bit wonky, and I couldn't find the runes, but this is still cool game!

Polygon War by SmallPhil 2016-04-19T00:26:00

This is amazing. I'm reminded of classic games like Asteroids when I play it. It runs very smoothly as well, and the simplistic graphics are very pleasing.

Skywind Temple by Ogniok 2016-04-19T01:07:00

Holy cow. This is amazing. The graphics, visual effects, models and textures are all amazing. The mechanics and different gamemodes are awesome as well. Well done.

ShapeShitter by Coomzy 2016-04-18T22:18:00

To be honest, this is funny for a little bit, but it doesn't really fit the theme. Still an okay game though.

Walking Simulator by Arskiainen 2016-04-19T01:25:00

I got a laugh out of this game. Overall it's a nice concept! Good job!

Hart of the Forest by adsilcott 2016-04-19T03:50:00

Neat concept! I enjoyed the music very much.

Goo Away! by Bioruebe 2016-04-19T03:55:00

Very interesting concept! I imagine working with mesh deformations was complicated.

SuperFishAl by divegato 2016-04-19T01:22:00

The controls are a little too smooth for my tastes, but I guess it just makes the game a little more challenging :). I like the overall "relaxed" mood of the game.

Tetragon by Pilly 2016-04-18T22:21:00

I really enjoyed this one! It's a nice twist on Tetris and Super Hexagon.

Shadowshifter by Ilseroth 2016-04-19T02:52:00

This is really fun! It's very fast-paced and what I'd call "action-packed". My only gripes would be the high mouse sensitivity and somewhat repetitive music.

Rocketmorph by ermrk 2016-04-18T18:43:00

Nice job! It reminds of an online browser game I used to play a few years ago.

Runeshift by demogorgon 2016-04-19T03:25:00

Pretty good! I have to agree with the others though. It was a little confusing at first. Maybe the player & enemy runes could be swapped & given different colors?

SPY by vados 2016-04-19T03:02:00

This was pretty challenging. I always like a nice classic spy game. Nice job!

Shifting Winds by Kelpow 2016-04-18T18:25:00

I like this! It was fun trying to navigate the course at a fast pace while trying to make sure I was using the right form in the right place. I'd love to see more games like this.

Maze Shift by HardlyDifficult 2016-04-18T18:28:00

Pretty good! It seemed easy at first, but it got very difficult very quickly. Nice work!

Disdain by The Salt 2016-04-19T02:23:00

The music is somewhat repetitive after a while, and I couldn't seem to actually hit the enemies, but the concept is very interesting, and it'd be cool to see it expanded on in the future.

i drew this because i was bored by DragonZBW (SparkLight Games) 2016-04-19T00:34:00

This is amazing! The art style and the music blend together so well, and create something that I think is very, very unique experience.

Doodle Dungeon by Pavel M. Dlouhý 2016-04-19T03:46:00

Nice game! It was fun trying to figure out where I needed to go, how to get there and just traversing the dungeon in general.

Claudia's Exit by ramza 2016-04-19T03:10:00

I'm not completely sure what this game actually is, or what I'm supposed to do, but I had a good time walking around the world, getting absorbed in the almost surreal, and somewhat eerie, landscape that you can only really find in some older, smaller, games.

Go Go Golem by Gamescalation 2016-04-18T23:50:00

Fun game! I'm highly impressed that this game was done in just 48 hours.

Elemental Crawler by EthanBierlein 2016-04-19T03:12:00

@mrnannings @Ilseroth Are your graphical settings set to "fantastic"? Unity seems to mess with movement and collision calculations with this game when the graphical settings are set to anything else. I can run around and move fine when it's set to "fantastic".

Light Shifter Temple by SengiG 2016-04-19T03:22:00

Nice! These light-based games are always interesting.

LD37 — One room

Hacker Café by sacredseedstudio 2016-12-13T20:45:00

I really like the concept, and the game has a cool vibe, but it felt like there weren't very many unique notifications.

The Coin Collector by mediocrity 2016-12-22T19:51:00

There are a few small problems. The upgrades are somewhat lackluster and the character controller is a little hard to control, however, I love the idea and it'd be awesome to see it expanded in some way.

Dad's Cabin by ElysRealm 2016-12-22T19:35:00

I love it! I never really liked most text-based games, but this is one exception.

BreakAround by Xanjos 2016-12-22T20:04:00

Love the 3D twist on Breakout!

TILT Service by Birke 2016-12-13T02:58:00

Love it! It doesn't have much gameplay, but the art is cool.

Flight Mania by TheGejr 2016-12-13T02:45:00

This is quite nice, overall. The graphics are good and the sound is excellent. The only criticism I can really give is that the controls feel a bit laggy and are somewhat awkward to use.

The Exterminators Part II by Jigosystems 2016-12-13T20:23:00

I like this! The graphics have a very nice feel to them and the game plays quite well. The UI is a little lackluster though and the character's movement feels somewhat, odd.

Geometry Encounters by hlavik211 2016-12-22T19:28:00

I love the graphics and the game feels very smooth, however, it's extremely difficult to the point where I can't really play it. I usually end up getting killed after ~15 seconds.

Trump's First Day by jamioflan 2016-12-13T20:38:00

The music and graphics are great, and the idea is cool, but it was a little bit unclear as to how I was supposed to do some things.

Escape from Man Cave by Treborginho 2016-12-13T20:33:00

This is an awesome game, and I've never seen anything quite like it before.
