The graphics are nice and same goes for the animations. But I don't see how this is connected to shapeshifting. It's just an fps with a hand instead of a gun.
It's fairly well balanced and it's enjoyable (except the weapon changing), but it feels like a game for an other theme...
The game didn't seem to work properly, some of the images didn't load at all, there was no sound and at one point I kept dying, even though no-one was pointing a flashlight there.
The art is nice, I wish the locations were a little more coherent.
Feels a little rushed and unfinished, but I like the core mechanic. Maybe add different kind of power ups if you plan to expand this!
Interesting!
Seriously? A multiplayer game for an audience that barely exists? Why? This way no-one can play this...There is no point...
I am sorry for your loss.
There is no need to make a rushed game like this, it's not exactly a competition. If you couldn't make it, that's not a gigantic problem.
...because frankly, this wasn't a good entry. FPS platforming rarely works. Here it doesn't. It just looks unfinished and unpolished with no connection to the theme. There is no innovation or some story or anything else. Even the controls seem to be off. I do not see the point of this.
Nice, even though the controls were a bit unresponsive sometimes and some of the animations were too long or too short. Interesting mechanics, I like that there are NPC-enemy animals too. The music was ok, and the level design was well put together. The idea is kinda unoriginal but the setting makes the concept new.
Yeah...This needs a lot more work. Every aspect of it.
It's a noble effort. ...but it's pointless.
Interesting concept.
This needs a lot more work. Firstly this has nothing to do with shapeshifting. Secondly, the area is boring. Here is my tip: Create much bigger areas, add a few better weapon, especially an automatic gun is needed and make everything a bit smaller and the zombies faster.
Interesting! Could be expanded!
One of the best interpretations of the theme, sadly it's a shame there is no story or anything around it. This was a good idea, but it wasn't presented well, so it comes off unfinished. There could've been just a simple plot to give us some idea and to increase the confusion and finally the wow factor.
Nice graphics, but a bit too simple, I could see this expanded. With more difficult puzzles, because this was very easy.
Some instructions regarding the controls and other game mechanics are missing. The humans don't seem to do anything once they saw you, so I am not sure, why I was hiding in the first place. The doors need to be a bit more clear, because I couldn't figure out how to open them in any form.
This is a good idea, and with a little polish it could be great!
I completed the first few levels, but it wasn't fun...
Don't get me wrong, this was a great take on the theme, graphics looked nice, only some SFX and music was missing.
Sadly, this was simply based on how fast you click, and for me that's not fun. It's not that I don't like difficult games, it's more about the terrible controls.
HolyBlackCat pointed out pretty well, that games like this need to be tested, and then tested again.
Unfinished, not worth the download. I would say, the art style is almost consistent, which is good, I guess, but the rest...
The controls are terrible, and it makes no sense, why you would use Q to go left and D to go right. The attacks are not explained, why those the squidhead attack only work on certain enemies?
Also, this might be my thing, but everything has a time and place, and Cthulhu is not some giant squid-faced monster. That wasn't Lovecraft's point when he made that character. ...but this is the problem with the rest, why are we turning into game pop culture references? Why not make up your own, these have nothing to do with the game.
The idea was good...but the execution well... the sound effect are ok, but the enemy Ai is too fast, in fact everything is a bit too fast. Maybe a change of scenery could help, because it gets really confusing to follow.
Nice, the graphics need some polishing, but the gameplay is solid.
What's the point? Why are we there? How does this have anything to do with shapeshifting? Why not use WASD and mouse for control? What's the story? What are those white objects?
This needs a lot more work. If you didn't finish it, why upload it at all? This is just wasting everyone's time.
Simple
Won't start:(
The music is great and the concept is nice, but I am not sure about the art style, I could hardly make out what was where.
Even though the design is nice clean, and simple, the gameplay is lacking any depth or interesting element. I though making the enemies fly would kill them. This is just not ready yet.
The web version doesn't seem to do anything besides freezing the screen.
I don't get this, this is a simple dating game, I understand the shapeshift metaphor, but it's just not enough, but it doesn't have that big of an impact.
Well...this has nothing to do with shapeshifting...so what's the point?
Nice! I made it through!
Great job with the gameplay and the design, the googly eyes look really funny!
This is kind of like our game, Goons (also on LD35).
Nice, but I would much rather see an enemy than food to eat.
Well. It's okay and all, but I didn't enjoy it that much, since it kept resetting the game to 3 every time, I messed up.
I can't say I enjoyed it. I twas way too difficult and I never felt I knew what and why I was doing.
Why too difficult. for no reason.
The developer has not uploaded a game yet...
Great concept!
404: Not Found!
The controls are uncomfortable? Why not stick with WASD and mouse for turning? I am not sure if there was any shapeshifting or interaction, pressing Space didn't do anything.
Way too difficult.
Quite fun and simple! Good job.
Well...I smiled.
Yeah, no...
I am not sure, it has both good and bad qualities, the sounds and music were terrible, while the visuals were nice, although it lacked animations
It's unclear what to do and why. The monster attacks through the walls randomly. This needs more work. a lot of it.
Well, the game is incredibly buggy, the transformations sometimes don't happen at all, sometimes it switches, this really needs more work. The level is simple, the animations are so-so...
Also, why are we jumping with bird? That fails to make any sense.
What the game might also need is a narrative, a story of some sort, so it's not just a compilation of gameplay elements. None of the Why questions are addressed.
The soundtrack was fitting and the gameplay was simple and ok, but the floating deforming text in the center was really distracting. I am not even sure how this relates to shapeshifting.
Nice, a different kid of shapeshifting with a good narrative. It's a bit unfinished though.
I thought this had something to do with Logan's Run. It's kind of basic, I mean this is the firs thing that comes to mind, when I think of shapeshifting.
It's not Superhot as some were saying, it takes more than a color to identify a certain game. This is basically more like one of the earlier MGS games. The AI is good the animations are nice, but there is no tutorial and no goal and just one level, sadly. I would really like this to get expanded, because the groundwork is there.
Very simple, very fun.
simple and cool.
This is way to difficult, I could hardly get past the first few. Despite the good music, I think this needs some optimization.
Nice, idea, but it was a bit too static and unlogical...It got kind of boring very quickly, simple because this was a text based game, but appeared to have a visual style that didn't go anywhere.
Nice! Simple.
The graphics are below average and even with an okay gameplay that comic sans font really makes this quite bad...
As someone said before, this might work better as a mobile game.
This is a bit too complex for one short playthrough. A more imaginative tutorial and maybe some test plays would have been nice, because it really gets confusing here and there. The idea is nice.
Yes or No?
No...
Yeah...no...
well...this needs some polish...
The graphics are not that good, I couldn't even make out what was what. The difficulty curve is alright and the gameplay is ok.
Cool! Just cool!
Graphics are nice, and the gameplay is very simple, but solid. It's good!
A tad to short, but at least it was funny.
I was waiting for something strange or unlikely to happen. ..or something that tells that the owl was only a clever metaphor for something....next time, maybe.
Great creepypastas. A slightly longer story with more choices would have been better, but this was nice either way.
No....
no windows version?
This game defeats the purpose of Twine games. Twine games are about choice, there were basically three slides in this with some choices, that barely influenced anything. The rest is just unfunny randomness with a big "continue reading a story" button at the bottom. The idea is interesting, but the execution is not, it really feels like this was a two hour job...
A bit too slow, even though the concept was interesting.
Okay, well the theme is present in this, but everything else is not that good. The two buttons are two far away, and basically pressing the fire button forever wins the game, the jump button is useless. If the gameplay is not engaging at least you should have added some story or context. This is just too random to be fun....
It is very frustrating, that the game doesn't have any checkpoints.
The graphics are very-very simple and cool. The theme is a bit overused nowadays and this wasn't exactly a unique take on it. The writing was good, even with the occasional grammar mistakes. On the other hand, the lack of sound or music was not that good. Also, adding a timer is the most annoying game mechanic in existence. If that is substituted, this could be a fun game.
It's retro, that's for sure. ..but nostalgia alone is not enough to satisfy... The game is very basic, and the two things that stand out are the bent screen look and the music.
It's fine for a three day game jam.
The music is really great and matching, sadly every level is too short and is nothing more than a trail and error challenge. I guess this is due to the two button limitation. Otherwise nice job, it's good to have this many levels in a ludum game!
It was original, that's for sure. With slightly more work this could be very good. The questions need to be updated or clarified (and new should be added) and the visuals and the sound could've been enhanced. Otherwise, nice work!
The graphics are adequate, but it feels kinda empty without the sound effects. A nice little in-game tutorial would have been nice too... I would love to see a much bigger factory in motion.
The collisions are bad, the jumping is bad, the tutorial makes no sense, following the ghost wasn't a good game design choice. The level design doesn't seem to make sense either. The animation looks nice, but the gameplay is just not optimized. This needs a lot of polish and playtesting.
Interesting idea! It's nice for a three day game jam. With updated graphics and a bigger map, this could've been even better.
Reminds me of old Nokia games. Nice, i guess.
Interesting, nice little game, I am impressed!
It had its moments, but more polish is needed.
This suffers from the same problem as so many other titles here. It's not a game, player involvement is unnecessary. It's not even that funny...It could've been a nice idea for a game though, it's sad that it ended up as a simple gimmick.
It is cute and it is simple, not much else.
This needs a lot of work and polish...
So, the music was and the graphics seemed okay, the plant dynamics were also good. It just didn't work very well.
I can say from experience, that indie multiplayer games are not a good idea. Simply because too few people play them/try them.
Your game looks nice and it has some sort of atmosphere, although the helicopter at the end is entirely out of place and feels goofy.
I am sorry, that I couldn't try the game the way you imagined it.
Very simple...
It could've been slightly better or more engaging, but I guess this is everything a text based game can do.
This was more like tests for a game than a game, I am now reading instructions in the comment section, but you should've explained this during the game or before it.
I got bored by it, due to lack of context and lack of tutorials or what to do. ..and the setting was...well... I mean a princess and a warrior and a druid...It just felt generic.
It nice to listen to, and easy gameplay wise.
It was fun and nice and simple, the only thing missing was more enemies and bigger battles!
The controls are terrible, and therefore the entire gameplay is flawed. Because of the two button design the game is unenjoyable. The visuals aren't interesting either.
The graphics are not that great, and this isn't a game either, you just continue to press the attack button forever and the game plays itself. There is no need for strategy or thinking or even the blocking button, because you never ever have to use it.
There is no story either.
Nice music and simple two-button gameplay... Not much else to see here.
You see this was not even funny, it's actually sad, that people find this humorous. For others, this is a scam, it's basically a rick roll...don't bother.
Really simple, really nice!
Okay, the idea wasn't that bad, I mean we have seen it before many times, but it's still okay, but the execution...well...not interesting ...
Neat little game with simple gameplay.
This is one of the best experiences I've had in this Ludum so far, it's not a game, not even an interactive story, it's basically a short film with a constant play button, that makes you sad, if you press it.
Storywise it's very well done, and the metaphor is fairly clear as well. The tone it sets is excellent. I little more gameplay wouldn't hurt it though...and while the visuals are great, there could've been more things to look at, because the text is really slow.
Fun and incredibly short game. Kind of like a very early stage of an idle game.
A bit too difficult, but nice!
HTML link is broken.
Nice, the optimization is quite bad, but it was an enjoyable little game. The thing with metaphors is, that if you have to explain them, they are no longer good. Either way, most of it was fairly clear, I wouldn't consider them metaphors, more like visual representations of simple feelings. Most games have these, even without knowing that they do. Also, a metaphor needs context and they tend to be a bit bigger than just color changes.
The levels are clean interesting and cool and easy to understand too, there were a lot of them, so it was nice to have a game that lasts longer than a minute (for a three day game jam). Also explaining the controls would have been nice, considering this has little to do with growing, I thought this had two button controls...
Worthy of a playthrough!
Okay, it's fine in the story and looks department, I guess. Gameplay is a bit flawed, even though the music is nice and chilling. It's just a bit too slow, nightmares are not like this.
It's a nice little game, but there is no point, no objective, no tutorial and no reason for me to slaughter some cubes. There needs to be a little more context and little more answering questions like why?
Sure the gameplay is engaging, but two very small levels is too short to fully use game mechanics like scope for example.
Doesn't load!
LD37 — One room (4)

Hm, interesting idea. I was waiting for something to happen at the end.
I like the concept.
R E P E A T by Ulydev 2016-12-19T09:05:00
Hm...I see, so the player is disorder, and is forced to continue to create disorder in order to proceed to the next room.
Technicalities: It was way too dark and sometimes the mouseclicks don't really register.
Puzzles are good, the story is something I might not understand perfectly. Is it just a never-ending nightmare or is there more to it than that?

So many questions, and so few answers...
Machine Blaster by slovakyan 2016-12-14T19:43:00
Is it just me, but I couldn't tell what the non turret items were or what their purpose was....
