Thanks! Yes you are right, it was my first experience with Unity and C#. I agree with you on the shooting controls, unfortunately I couldn't work out how to manage that in the time period. I've also had other people tell me about the speed being too slow aswell, so it seems that's a real issue.
I really like the concept of this game- the art direction certainly reinforces the idea! The narrative so far is good, and adds a lot to the game. In terms of things to improve on, possibly a decription of some of the executables/scripts as while you can infer their purposes from the cutscenes, it is sometimes not abundantly clear. Sound would have also added to the experience.
In any case, well done! I think this would be an interesting concept for you to take further after the Ludum Dare!
Hmm, yeah I get what you mean about the text being small, I guess that's what I get for developing on a 1920x1080 monitor XD
I also understand what you mean about the music, I can see it getting annoying. I was aiming for a kind of other-worldly feel with it.
But yeah, thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the depth that you've put into the characters, and how they have their own unique personality. The music I think fitted nicely with the theme of the game. I think that the text could have done with being a bit faster though.
Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare! Despite its short length, I thought that this was a nice little game- the music made me relax until near the end when the ominous drone kicks in and you realise something(won't spoil! XD). I also liked how you interpreted the '2 buttons' theme.
I think that the colour of the text made some of the words a bit difficult to read when the text scrolled the the right hand side of the screen so the darker portion of the background was behind the text.
This game definitely looks pretty, and the animations are nice and slick. Those bullet hell-esque firing animation sequences are pretty.
I did feel that the aiming controls were a tad restrictive though. Good game overall though! If you continue the game after LD, more levels would definitely add to the experience!
I REALLY like the look of this game- it's beautifully animated and the art style is great! The music is also pretty darn good.
I'm really impressed you managed to make a turn-based strategy in 72 hours. The animations on the elements are also very impressive. The art style overall is excellent!
Interesting concept here. I like the idea of memorizing the spells.
I really like the feel of the game- the art style combined with the chill jazz works together well! I think that tracking the shapeshifters in the later levels is a bit hard, especially when they walk off screen. Perhaps the people could 'bounce' back off the edges of
the screen?
On a side note, made a double kill with a single bullet XD
Overall, I thought that this was a very interesting take on the theme, good job! One thing I will say though is that the battles took ages, I think the healths of everything could have been lowered to speed things up.
This is a beautiful game, shame it's short. The art style fits really well, and the bird changing forms through whistling is an interesting concept. I found it easy to remember the note combinations. If this was made into a full length game, I'd play it! I would say that a health system might be a good idea to put in though.
I liked the way the music changed subtly when you shape-shifted the stage. The idea also let you create some pretty interesting levels. Good job!
I like the art and music! Gameplay wise, I enjoyed it for the most part, I think that being able to shoot sideways would have helped though, for enemies that were sitting on/near the bottom of the screen.
Those appearance animations are amazing! I also like how damage to your shapes is shown on the sprites rather than as health bars! I really liked how you grew as you destroyed the other shapes. Though if you happen to be unlucky enough to be on the edge of the screen as a bombs comes in, it can do a lot of damage. Perhaps making the bombs a bit slower or a warning before they enter?
I liked the concept, but I felt that the controls were a bit awkward, with regards to the rotation of the camera also rotating the objects. Perhaps rotating the objects could have been bound to another key/button, maybe like a click and drag right mouse button?
Great story, I think it handled the subject matter responsibly. The music added to the atmosphere. Would have been nice to make the game a bit bigger so the text was a bit easier to read, but other than that, good job!
