World In A Bottle by Serilyn 2012-04-24T03:55:00

Really interesting take on the theme and a well done game. I enjoyed playing this one.

The Tiny, Unknown and Unimportant World by waveon foxdale 2012-04-24T20:35:00

Neat idea, but it would have been nice if there were some mechanics, such as building cost, in place to make your decisions more meaningful.

Run, Unicorn, Run! by fprawn 2012-04-26T20:49:00

Thanks everyone for playing the game, the comments have been really encouraging. I'm going to have access to a windows machine tonight so I can start doing the port. The engine I used for RUR was originally made for Windows, so it should port over pretty quickly.

Please check back this weekend if you'd like to play it!

Run, Unicorn, Run! by fprawn 2012-05-02T18:50:00

I'm really sorry it didn't work for you Fireblend. I wasn't able to repro your problem, but I'll dig through the code and try and squash that bug for you.

Michael is Myopic by Several 2012-04-25T03:56:00

Neat idea, and I liked the puzzle aspect, but I found it difficult to anticipate when I would enlarge except through trial and error. In puzzle games, I usually don't make a move until I've solved the puzzle, but wasn't able to with this one. Of course, since this wasn't entirely a puzzle game, that might not matter.

Great concept, enjoyed this one.

Big Space Tiny Man by invaderJim 2012-04-24T04:05:00

Loved killing the little guys. Wish there was an ending, though, I need closure after murdering an entire civilization.

Wulcan by leafo 2012-04-24T03:19:00

Great package, nice and complete and most importantly fun.

Super Shotgun Showdown by danlthemanl 2012-04-30T15:55:00

Fun game in need of polish. The enemies moved around like flies and made the damage done to the player seem cheap, but I really enjoyed blowing apart rocks for some reason.

Nice job.

ONLY DUST by kato9 2012-04-25T04:19:00

This is my favorite of the games I've played so far. The level design really stands out.

GERMS: A Ghost Story by matt 2012-04-24T01:57:00

The first link didn't load for me, but the second worked. Cool cinematic in the beginning. The gameplay is repetitive, but I played it through to the end. I think different controls could have made this more fun, aiming with the mouse is too easy.

LD35 — Shapeshift

Noctem Shift by olkeencole 2016-04-19T04:01:00

Very moody, great atmosphere and sounds.

Picked up 3 dreamcatchers, but couldn't progress further, maybe I just missed something?

Tentatively Titled: Tentacle Terroir Terror! by fprawn 2016-04-19T03:44:00

Thanks kivlor. I had really wanted to get some effects in the game, but ran out of time.

Tentatively Titled: Tentacle Terroir Terror! by fprawn 2016-04-19T06:56:00

okoto: I may do a windows build, it'll be a bit of work and I haven't decided if I will for sure or not. It's a custom engine and it's been a long time since I did a windows build.

Danoli3: Thanks! The tentacles came out better than I expected, but took quite a bit of time. Also, regarding ammo, press R to reload, it's infinite.

Tentatively Titled: Tentacle Terroir Terror! by fprawn 2016-04-21T20:53:00

Thanks everyone who has taken the time to play and comment!

I have been slowly working on a Windows port, but a nice spring-time cold got in the way and I spent yesterday in bed. I did manage some progress, so I hope to have something ready by the weekend.

As an engineer, and not a designer or artist, I tried to rely on my strengths and so the result is: cool tech, limited other aspects. Next time I may try to focus on my weaknesses to try and improve them, instead.

I do have a lot of ideas for expanding the game. First is to do an actual weapon system. Ballistics, different weapon types, firing and hit effects. Another idea is to have the weed grow pods, or flowers, or something, that can add an additional layer to the gameplay. The pods may fire at the player, or drop additional health, or something. And I'd also like to get some good ole wigglin' in the tentacle.

A lot of aspects got rushed and are left overly minimal. Actually, it's been difficult to work on porting when what I really want to do is expand the game. Well, you all know this, of course.

Thanks again, and stay tuned if you're waiting for a port!

Also, if anyone is curious about how the tentacle is created, I did a little write up in a post the other day.

Arnold Stallion's Pump or Die by arzi 2016-04-20T01:01:00

Best game I've played yet, loved the art and well, everything else.

Subverse by Mekuri 2016-04-19T22:55:00

I liked the way the sub controlled, that was well done.

Altruism by calzep 2016-04-19T04:53:00

Cute game, nicely put together, loved the music.

I fell to death a lot, the harshness of missing a jump takes away a lot from the game and kept me from playing more. Maybe checkpoints would have helped?

Pretty good, regardless, great job!

Kenneth Rice: Vampire Detective by GrooveMan 2016-04-22T01:08:00

Great game, wish there were more to play.

10DaysOfDreaming by Polyknight_+_dragonGlitch 2016-04-19T23:35:00

I really wanted to play this, but couldn't get it to work on my mac. Both versions did the same thing: Displayed a credits page, then played music over a mauve checked background.

The music was good, and I appreciate having the opportunity to use the word mauve, so thank you for that, but I'll have to check back later to see if there's a fix so I can score it.

Polymorph by shane1090 2016-04-19T18:35:00

Nice little bite sized game. I enjoyed the concept, but it seemed like a lot of the times the guards would still catch me while shapeshifted.

Fugitive Shift by PowerSpark 2016-04-19T05:41:00

Very well done, this could be expanded into a full game. Nice graphics and great style with the characters.

Fennec Play by Miko 2016-04-20T20:37:00

Loved it, totally kicked that guy's ass at the end. Very well done, especially considering the time limit.

Shapeship by concalf 2016-04-19T17:22:00

Great game, genuinely fun!

Pasowix's Magical Shapeshifting Workshop by glaze_96 2016-04-20T23:57:00

This shop must be setup in some kind of depraved criminal underground. Funny writing, nice job.

Keysmith's in a hurry! by Felladrin 2016-04-19T08:14:00

Neat game, simple but well executed take on the genre

Andari Prime by Fabraz 2016-04-19T18:26:00

Loved the atmosphere, good sized area to explore, great audio. Money.

Forge Rampage by Riftpoint 2016-04-19T22:34:00

Great job, very well put together and fun concept.

The Maze Nightmare by docteurSid 2016-04-19T22:44:00

I like the concept a lot, a maze that gets harder the longer you're in it. It seemed really simple at first, like I was just walking right to the destination without any effort, but quickly became challenging.

Barrel Roller by Sandyloisa 2016-04-20T20:14:00

Good game, played quite a bit of this one. Nice level design, and very well put together.

Shape Shift Racer by kivlor 2016-04-19T03:42:00

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.

After the 7th Day by okoto 2016-04-19T05:05:00

So cute! I would do anything for my little Grordy.

Well executed, worth playing to the end.

Edge Shift - Blackhole by Danoli3 2016-04-19T23:12:00

Great graphics, but only twice was I able to hit the other particle.

Beneath a killing moon by Holtenice 2016-04-19T18:49:00

I had fun with this one, but always lost. Is it possible to win? It seemed like I was doing well.
