Game crashed halfway through. Cool idea but it could have been way better with more attention to game feel. Make the bullets HUGE. Make the sound effects BASSY and POWERFUL. Screen shake on everything. Flashing and particles flying everywhere. Gameplay could have been faster in pace too- felt like I was shooting a baddie forever. It's a good basis and cool idea, just a few tweaks
Great game, everything fits the aesthetic perfectly. Ramps up nicely, good strategy elements.
awesome game. cool gross art and a tun of fun. great interpretation of the theme
Simple but a fun little game. Fun to blast bats as the wizard. Not bad considering.
Couldn't progress on level 4 (with the pig and dog). Possible bug? Neat mechanic. Character movement is a little floaty. Could use some tutorialization.
Keyboard doesn't work in ludum dare's web player but they work in the web link. Neat idea, not sure what the different lanes do. Seems like you can just avoid the walls. Hard to see the player shape. Could be a little harder. 1 or 2 sounds feel kinda barren but nice that they're there. Score and combo don't seem to do anything?
Fun game, cool style. Often walls will appear in front of you so close that you have no time to react or move. Starts kinda slow but moving faster seems like a disadvantage. Sound would have been nice
Cool puzzle game. Clear portal influence. Definitely takes some thinking. Tons of little details that really go a long way like setting mouse sens. and "batvision" wireframe mode. Annoying that you have to wait for the voice to end its dialog to see the tutorial. Really satisfying gameplay though.
Text heavy tutorial does not help learning complex mechanics. That being said once I got the hang of it this was a fun, relaxing game. This is great in a series of HIGH OCTANE EXTREME games to be able to slow down and enjoy some strategy.
Sometimes shapes were upside down, assuming I should go to the rightside up version? Not clear. Sometimes my number of completed layers would increase out of nowhere. Sometimes my shape was not one of the shapes shown. First person is cool perspective.
Couldn't play game. Doesn't fit onscreen. Resolution is too tall.
Having energy slowly regen doesn't mark it harder but slows the pace of gameplay. At one point I lost control of the camera controls. Cool fun physics game, not bad.
Fun game, not sure what it was to do with shapeshifting. Doesn't seem like it gets harder so gets dry quick. Coins dont seem worth getting because you points go up so fast. Points should update each frame instead of like each .5s. Fun game, good sprites and sound. I too made a rainbow themed runner but its a little different- check it out ; )
Fun mechanic, took a minute to figure out what was going on / how to play. Kind of hard to look both at where you char is and at the top right to see the shapes. Audio could use some work. Satan/God theme is funny and cool but seems kind of shoehorned in. Not bad.
Great game, solid visuals and music. Didnt relate to theme too much but perspective change is unique mechanic, albiet frustrating sometimes. Control could be a little tighter felt kinda floaty. Boss was too hard imo. Tried at least 20 times and gave up. Overall cool rhythm game, pretty similar to mine actually haha check it out.
Cool mechanic, fun gameplay, funny ending, good art. Movement speed on chars is a little slow. Puzzles are pretty easy. Overall very nice.
Soundtrack didn't seem to fit gameplay. Dying/hitting sfx overlapped a lot and got loud. Gameplay got unbeatably hard by the end. Sometimes controls would stop working and couldn't switch shapes. Fun gameplay overall, good feel. Art potentially offensive in it's nature, watch that.
Neat concept, it was hard in a good way, sound/music could use some love. More levels would be cool.
Game crashed but the art and sound and humor were great. Lots of technical issues though
Shifting sound gets annoying. Hard to tell when you're the right size/shape. Sometimes the wall is in front of you and you cant tell what shape you are. When you're small it would make sense to be able to fit in a big hole but you cant. The way input gets queued, you end up spamming a movement button then ramming into the wall a bunch of times. It would be better to not use a grid or to only take input if you're still so you don't build up a queue of old/extra movements. Criticism aside this is a unique mechanic and a fun game. The level design is really well done. nice fx.
No shape shifting here folks. Art was good, combat was simple- just run backward and slash. if you try to fight they just seem to hit you even when they're not near you. could use more blob enemies. final boss just stood there will I killed him before he ever attacked and then nothing else happened so I guess I beat it? Fun game overall, good mood.
Camera should be zoomed in to character. Cool shifting animation. Game could be more "gamey". Just shooting til you win doesn't require much strategy.
I want to like this game because the concept is cool but the gameplay is a little clunky. The controls are stiff, even though I'm a human I get torched, the camera is zoomed out so it's hard to see. Mostly getting torched as a human is pretty annoying. More feedback as to why things are happening would go a long way. Cool concept and art though, just needs more attention to game feel.
Cool idea- clear WoW/WC3 influence. Sometimes enemies will spawn and I'll run to them but then they disappear and change their location / direction? I feel like mana management could be a little better done or done away with. The "alert a tree is being attacked" sound sounds like my phone is vibrating on the desk which while pedantic was a little annoying lol. Cool idea, pretty fun.
Neat platformer idea. Very "edgy". Frustrating that sometimes colors would appear to be the same but they didn't work together? (ie: I'm blue jump on blue box and fall through. had to click a DIFFERENT blue box first??) The narrative was cool but kind of got in the way. I just want to play the game and this text box keeps popping up. Story through mechanics, not dialog. Neat game, unique gameplay, nice work.
Technically it's cool that isn't multiplayer tho it's a little laggy. Game is pong basically. Not sure what it has to do with shapeshifting. Neat game, cool exercise.
Breaking animation is cool. Sound design is good. Shifting shapes button should use 1234 or something, not spacebar- too hard to control. Not sure what the guys up top have to do with gameplay. Should focus more on gameplay feel itself or make those have more of an impact. Cool game, well made overall. Also thanks for actually having a web player uploaded ;)
