JaJa's Bizarre Transformer by reckhou 2016-04-23T20:25:00
Love the art! And screen shaders. Nice touch! My only main complaint is that the controls were "lifeless". No recoil. shake, drag, slide, nothing. It just felt very bland. But everything else, on point! Nice work :)
Mr. E by leo_p_mahon 2016-04-22T21:57:00
This is such a clever game. The jumping up, mixed with slow motion, makes me feel like a bad ass! The music created a mood that fit the game perfectly, and the art style was clean, and polished. Good Animations too. Excellent work! :)
Mike Rand in Fantasy Land by BrainSlugs83 2016-04-22T06:16:00
This was a fun little game! I feel like a lot was missing (especially because of the comments pointing it out haha) but I feel like there could be some potential here with some polish, and scope. Nice work :)
Word Warrior by TheBreakfast 2016-04-22T06:09:00
This was really fun! It is a different twist on the classic JRPG. It was frustrating though, trying to come up with nouns that worked. It made the battles go on forever. Sure, I could use Gorilla or Tiger over and over again, but it was oddly fun, trying to find new ones. You should add Dragon :P Anyways, overall, this is a really good game. I'm surprised no one has commented yet. Nice work :)
SUBJECT 26 by MSiddeek 2016-04-22T01:01:00
Wow. Simply, wow. Great job. The art, concepts, story, everything. I love it all! Nice work :)
Abducktion by JohnnySix 2016-04-22T00:21:00
Love it! Such a fun, and creative idea. The controls were tight, the animations were clean, and the sound fit the game. Wonderful work here - this one of the first gamse I couldn't stop playing! :)
Fylgjur by Aaranos 2016-04-22T00:15:00
Animation was wonderful, collisions were "eh", mechanics were okay, and the variety was great. It was a bit rough changing weapons, and turning around to attack. But over all, this is a solid submission. Nice work! :)
Hexshaper by excaliburjs 2016-04-21T23:00:00
I really enjoyed playing this one! Clever, and very unique. For added difficulty (I never died and stopped because of repetition), you could make it where if you flying to a wall,floor/ceiling, you'd get hurt too. Also, it would have been nice to have a bar or something indicating the life of the portals. But those are merely suggestions. I'm impressed, this must have taken a lot of work! Nice job! :)
SLAHP by FistBumpGames 2016-04-21T22:55:00
Great art, nice music, painful design. I really like the idea, it's really creative and a bit crude - my favorite! It's just starting completely over that's rough. But other than that, I really liked it. Good work :)
Fishy Shift by undeadaubergine 2016-04-21T22:51:00
Cute game! I love the GB graphics, very nostalgic. I wish the FOV was larger, and the collisions were a bit tighter for the larger fish, but overall, it's a nice take on a single player agar.io! Good job! :)
Arnold Stallion's Pump or Die by arzi 2016-04-21T22:48:00
Lovely little game! It was quite funny! The "floating" movement felt a bit off. But, something a lot of people fail at with this style, are the attack collisions. You did a nice job with those! The music was nice too, not too over the top, or subtle. Also, sometime the foreground would become the ground, and I could walk over cherry blossoms, etc. Over all, nice work! :)
DRACUL64 by josefnpat 2016-04-21T09:06:00
Unique idea! I love the Doom style, it was nostalgic! And to see this done in LOVE, very cool!
ShapeOff by MisterMortal 2016-04-21T09:02:00
It was unique and clever! Sometimes I'd pick the right shape, and click in the center, but I'd still die. That was frustrating, but making money was satisfying! The art and sound effects were clean too. Solid entry :)
Twist&Twirl by nemec 2016-04-21T08:56:00
Nice game! It was off putting, having to deal with the physics, camera, etc. But other than that, I really liked the music, and idea! Nice work :)
Evotron by testzero 2016-04-21T08:53:00
Interesting little game. I'm impressed by the amount produced from scratch in such a short amount of time, but I personally think you could have done more with this. I understand the amount of time needed to go into a project like this, and it's labeled as unfinished, so I won't review as if it were a full game. I do think there's potential here, it'd be fun to watch the progress if you decide to work on it further, post jam. Nice work! :)
Liborio the Shapemancer by MightyToastStudio 2016-04-21T08:48:00
Wow, this is very impressive. I loved the loading screen - really unique. The art, and atmosphere really made this. I struggled with the controls. Playing for 20 minutes, I still could not master them. I would like the idea of a forward key, and the side keys would rotate -as opposed to a key being a direction. But other than that, I absolutely love this game!
windowframe by managore 2016-04-21T06:30:00
This was awesome! I really enjoyed how innovative the gameplay was. Nice work!
Lux Anima by Broxxar 2016-04-21T06:13:00
The art is stunning! Overall, it was hard (controls especially), but had its rewards. Fits great with the theme! Nice work :)
Shape Rave by MintArcade 2016-04-20T09:18:00
Great visual effects! The controls (rotating around) took a bit to get used to. Eventually I broke 100 though! Good work :)
The Morphing Manor by Evergreen Games 2016-04-19T05:36:00
Challenging, but fun! I got a score of 4 :P Nice work, I really loved the music, effects, and art!
Dios Mio! Alien Invasion by megalukes 2016-04-19T05:32:00
This is very similar to our game! Nice job, the art is amazing! :)
Photagogue by ChuiGum 2016-04-19T05:30:00
I got everything to work fine. I'm using Firefox on Windows 10.
I really like this game! The controls are clean (wall jumping is really tough though...). The music was nice, did you make it yourself? And the art was cute!
There's nothing better than punching dino's, and flip jumping!
Execution was great, good job :)
Shape Escape by JoeManaco 2016-04-19T05:23:00
Masterful.
I love this game! Well done, on every front! :)
You Are What You Eat by MagnesiumNinja 2016-04-19T05:19:00
Really well delivered. Loved the animations, text system, combat, art... All really well done! Just the aiming bothered me a bit, but I still enjoyed dashing around, and whipping things. Nice job :)
Hexagon Battle by jerryzhao 2016-04-19T05:13:00
Cute little game! It was fun, even though I was only able to play myself. Nice audio too! Good work :)
Combunation by Petya 2016-04-19T04:39:00
The characters are by far the best part about this game! They're just so cute!
At first, I died because there wasn't a warning that the game was going to start. But once I got the hang of things, I actually got pretty good! Nice work :)
Xenoshift by meek 2016-04-19T04:36:00
Pain in the ass.
I retried 5 times, and still couldn't kill the alien - even though he was always in the same room. At one point, I shot at it, it ran into a corner and disappeared, then I shot in the corner, and it attacked from behind me! It's too painful to be enjoyable, in my opinion.
I will acknowledge that the art and audio were both on point. Nice work too, putting this together in 3 days.
Shift! by StrayCat 2016-04-19T04:26:00
Clever ideas! The jumping was hard to get used to, and sometimes when I jumped on other animals, they'd go into the floor, and I couldn't get them again. I did like the art though! Nice job :)
Her Home by Lancelot Gao 2016-04-19T04:22:00
Barely got to level 2! It was hard to judge distance from the orbs. I enjoyed the music, the art was delightful, and the idea was unique. Nice work! :)
Dustin Finamore by fin_nolimit 2016-04-19T04:18:00
Simple, I liked it! Nice pixel art for a 10 year old too - It's nice that you included your daughter. The sound effects felt out of place at first, but they grew on me. Nice job :)
Sergei's Virus by avinashd 2016-04-19T04:15:00
Interesting! I solved up to 3, and gave up... Nice idea though! The output was funny. Good work! :)
Shift-Faced by tweedle 2016-04-19T04:11:00
I also experienced white flashing textures... I liked the music! And the art style looks great from the screenshots. Please fix this, I was really excited to play this! :)
L.I.G.H.T. by Flygamer101 2016-04-19T03:55:00
It took a long time to figure out each forms strengths and weaknesses. Other than that, I liked the graphics/lighting. Great job! :)
Buck Shift by bwalter 2016-04-19T03:12:00
Love the art! I also enjoyed the different take on twin shooters, where the "gun" is set above you. Being a platformer added an additional layer of difficulty. It did take a long time to kill enemies though. Over all, nice job :)
Quadripartitus by Phantom Lab 2016-04-19T03:08:00
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 :)
Exhuman by Arvydas 2016-04-19T03:04:00
Controls were rough, and the learning curve was steep as hell. The graphics were lovely, and nice shaders! I surprised you guys got so much done (3D) in 3 days - Nice work! :)
Metamorph by RockhopperGames 2016-04-18T11:55:00
It was hard to move, and it took a few deaths to learn how to attack. But I like the art and the concept! Very morbid. Good job :)
The Furniture is Alive by Bemmu 2016-04-18T11:22:00
Using Chrome on OSX - worked great! Scared the crap out of me the first time the glowing, floating, red thing attacked me from behind. Maybe I was anticipating it too much, but this was really well delivered in terms of spook factor goes. Nice work!
Morph Ranger by mrnannings 2016-04-18T11:12:00
I liked the DND upgrades! It was a clever game. Occasionally, when punching at the side of a platform, I'd get stuck. It was short, but memorable. Thanks for submitting it, I really enjoyed playing :)
Shape Runner by verzoto 2016-04-18T11:06:00
Fun! It would have been nice if when moving from side to side, it'd snap your position. It would made it more engaging - I died too often from barely missing a shape. But nice idea! Good job :)
Bortman by Rscar 2016-04-18T10:53:00
Brilliant! I liked nailing the "perfect" shot. Great physics! I love the art too. Even dying was satisfying with the sarcastic game over screen. Wonderful job :)
Formation! by Saladon 2016-04-18T10:46:00
Hard, and fun. Not much content, and hard to get used to (controls and mechanics), but I enjoyed learning the rules and how to destroy the enemy army! Nice work :)
Untitled-1 by Those 30 Ninjas 2016-04-18T10:39:00
Hard as hell but superbly enjoyable!I like how it speeds up, and the "ring" changes shape. Sometimes the ball would break out, but I loved it! Good job :)
OFFLOAD by Anupam Coleman 2016-04-18T10:18:00
I like this game! I didn't have anyone to play with, so I played by myself and tried to keep it going as long as possible. It's a new twist on Pong! Nice work :)
Ghost Arena! by thiagowaw 2016-04-18T09:48:00
Fun! Not much replayability, but the initial play was nice. The controls are rough to get used to, but worth it to get the hang of! The art is splendid, nice light/glare effects. Nice work :)
Blue Moon by Mark Smith 2016-04-18T09:41:00
Wow. This was awesome! I really liked playing this. It's creative, and engaging. The hunters are awesome! :)
Agent Shift by jollyserpent 2016-04-18T09:31:00
Okay, this was quite interesting! But in a good way! I really enjoyed this style of gameplay. Complex, but engaging. Nice work :)
100% Legit Entry by LadyEmaSkye 2016-04-18T09:25:00
Loved it! Quite a charming game - clicking on a link to google!
Geometry Shifter by gustavopereira1 2016-04-18T09:24:00
Really fun! It has reminds me of Guitar Hero, with a twist. It has nice progression in difficulty, and the controls are clean. Great work! :)
Shifting planes by PatrickAartssen 2016-04-18T09:13:00
Plays along great with the theme! It was fun learning out how the different characters played. I would often get stuck on the sides/corners of platforms though. Over all, good job! :)
Helium-4 by mountainstorm 2016-04-17T21:21:00
Argh! I got a really big one going, and then it broke apart!
This game is awesome. I'm still not completely sure about the rules, but it's fun none the less. Nice work, this is a nice original interpretation of 'shapeshift'!
Polygon War by SmallPhil 2016-04-17T21:17:00
This is a fantastic game! It's hard, but not too hard. The controls are tight as well. I like the animations of the objects, they're all very clean. Nice work! :)
Adventure School by peter_szegedi 2016-04-17T20:58:00
The art is very creative! Did you scan it? If so, what software did you use for editing afterword?
I also like how you made the platforms that you can jump up through, transparent. Nice touch!
It was bothersome when attacking monsters, no matter what I did, I got hurt :/
Other than that, lovely game! Good job :)
Paperchase by DragonXVI 2016-04-17T19:59:00
Wow. Good controls, nice art/animation, a brilliant take on shapeshifting... Overall, great work. You'll do well! :)
J is for Triangle by SwedishCheese 2016-04-17T19:49:00
Geez this is hard! Makes one struggle... But I like the idea! If only I was better at it haha
Fishy Fishy by littlelinc 2016-04-17T19:47:00
It was really short - but fun! Gotta love programmer art! Nice work :)
Geometry Garden by Evgiz 2016-04-17T19:46:00
This was fun! Surprisingly hard, but fun! I like the concept of switching ammo that correlates to enemies. I did find the rock collisions frustrating though... :P Good job!
A Slimy Fellow by Ourson 2016-04-17T19:43:00
This was quite enjoyable! The little slime was just too cute :) Good job on making this in 48 hours!
