LD35 — Shapeshift

windowframe by managore 2016-04-29T21:12:00

Holy goodness. So absolutely unbelievable. I'm still so genuinely in disbelief, the concept is absolutely incredible, the graphics and sound and animation are all gorgeous, and the puzzle design is outlandishly rewarding. Absolutely unbelievable, fantastic work.

Dave from Bungie by Dmitrix 2016-04-23T03:54:00

Interesting concept, clever writing, hilarious sound bites.

Shape Struggle by csanyk 2016-05-03T06:27:00

All the makings of a good arcade shoot em up. Nothing quite like the satisfaction of getting that next best upgrade.

(also as a p.s. I saw you got stuck in my game at hacking the mainframe for entering a password- at that point you simply enter in a whole bunch of characters and it will let automatically let you in, it's meant to be a joke haha)

Signed Distance Shift by netgrind 2016-04-29T21:22:00

Absolutely gorgeous game. The mechanic and aesthetic work surprisingly well together. With some music and sound this could be really stellar

Another Dimension by pikmin4000 2016-04-29T13:51:00

Very very very cool. Took me a minute to get used to shapeshifting but once I had it down it felt really intuitive and very satisfying. Limiting the number of transformations was a surprisingly interesting mechanic, and also the puzzles were all (for me) the perfect amount of challenging and interesting. A+

The Formless by ianh 2016-04-23T03:43:00

Beautiful game, a little hard, or maybe I'm just bad.

Shape Racer by SgtBursk 2016-04-19T05:11:00

Having to maintain gear shifting as well as shape shifting (haha) was a good challenge, easy to learn, hard to master (and very fun once I mastered it). Music was also very pleasant.

Arnold Stallion's Pump or Die by arzi 2016-04-26T00:51:00

Beautiful game. Mechanics could use a little bit of balancing but this is one of the most cohesive games I've played in the jam, everything just felt like it belonged.

From Near to Far by Joror 2016-04-30T20:36:00

Very very cool. Adding the sort of jiggly physics to a space/ship building game was very cool. Also the music and visuals are top notch.

Cyan by rxi 2016-05-09T23:40:00

Super cool, very satisfyingly challenging as well, controls took a bit to master but were super satisfying once I got them down.

Wild West Canyon Crusher by chocobyte 2016-05-08T19:45:00

There's something about a train jumping that will never not be entertaining to me

ORIKAMI by Mnemusyne 2016-05-05T21:20:00

Absolutely gorgeous, and quite fun.

Shapeshift Racer by 02fc.exe 2016-04-30T03:38:00

Super cool and beatiful atmosphere and really satisfying feel to the game.

OGLA by egos 2016-04-29T21:26:00

Fascinating mechanic and really hypnotic to play!

Jeffrey with a Sword by ShuddaHaddaLottaFun 2016-04-24T21:39:00

Cool concept, and also, fantastic title haha

Spinstar by Gamepopper 2016-04-30T20:47:00

Very cool to have two different kinds of transformations, made for some interesting combinations and gameplay.

Escape CorpoLab by duskpn 2016-04-30T20:43:00

Very involved level design, and an interesting assortment of transformations!

Photagogue by ChuiGum 2016-04-26T00:55:00

Wonderful music and some of the most fluid and fun movement in any game in this jam.

wolf and the moon by zillix 2016-04-19T05:45:00

WOW! Just wow. A really magical experience. Music, story, art, gameplay, it's impossible to pick a favorite they all were excellent and blended perfectly together. The only perfect 5 I've given so far. You have a new fan.

Corvid by Just Tom 2016-04-23T04:05:00

Wow. Amazing. The art, sound, mechanic all work perfectly, and the theme is the mechanic, instead of feeling pigeon holed or forced in. Really really polished coherent fun game. Becoming the beast is outlandishly satisfying. 5 Stars.

Get Yo' Baby Swole by Cosrnos 2016-04-30T18:34:00

Very cool. I got a little more obsessed with a fake muscly internet baby than I had planned to today.

Rhytmic Thoughts by Stending 2016-04-30T20:20:00

Very interesting mechanic, I found myself really getting into the beat.

Polyshift by keyboardmonkey 2016-05-04T19:51:00

The shapeshifting animation is out of this world.

An Errant Slime by gnerkus 2016-04-23T02:31:00

Would be great if I didn't have to restart the application every time I died. It's also really hard to see why it is that I die when I die. But the art and concept are really cool.

Metris by jcsirron 2016-04-30T03:42:00

Very cool, a very frantic feel not knowing what shape was next.

Green Knight by PinkIndian 2016-05-04T19:54:00

I love the Knight/Bird character (the bird is absolutely adorable). Very interesting mechanic swapping between the two. Also the environment was wonderfully done.

Prince Charmless by Pietro Ferrantelli 2016-04-27T03:32:00

A well deserved perfect 5. Flawless execution of a wonderful concept. Every aspect just works perfectly with every other aspect, art, music, gameplay.

Promethium by Postcursor Laboratories 2016-04-29T13:42:00

Easily the most fun transformations I've seen. Unique but intuitive and all very different. Animation and graphics are also super on point.

Craft a Raft by SUNFURY 2016-05-06T15:22:00

Super interesting mechanic and I love the silly physics and the lil dude :D

CHORUS by Pantelis Petsopoulos 2016-04-24T20:59:00

Interesting. I wish the shape-shifting fit more with the music, it felt very unrelated.

Laser Town by Hectigo 2016-04-23T03:34:00

Good puzzles, very cool interesting look.

Spirit of the Ancients by Orion Dev 2016-05-01T03:19:00

Outstanding aesthetic. The sound and visuals really set an amazing tone to the game.

Skywind Temple by Ogniok 2016-04-19T01:17:00

Wow! Gorgeous, and flying is very enjoyable. Single player could have been more engaging though.

The Mimic by ponywolf 2016-05-04T19:59:00

Absolutely gorgeous game. The music, art style and narrative all go really well together.

Medusa Massacre by Cliff Lee CL 2016-04-30T03:56:00

Holy crap, very cool mechanic! Super cool that I feel somehow both extremely powerful yet inevitably helpless to the horde. Wow. Very very cool.

Wall Buster by Interface 2016-04-20T02:13:00

Very interesting having to think in terms of big and small shapes. It's also pretty well balanced for such a unique concept.

Paginy by Powersource 2016-04-30T19:09:00

Very very fun given such a simple mechanic!

Theseus by TheMeorch 2016-05-02T06:06:00

Absolutely brilliant mechanic, and wonderful art and sound that fit perfect with the theme. Little things like the rain and the eyes and the little feet (the little feet!!) really made it wonderful to play. Also the level design was really smart, and nothing I had seen before. Five stars all around from me.

Weaponshift by The Vall 2016-04-29T13:46:00

Very very interesting mechanic. Platforming physics could use some work but man what a concept. A+

Cloudy by Karl Schmidt 2016-04-23T03:05:00

The environment started to feel like an endless mazer after a while, could have used more variety in both the environment and the mechanics used. But an interesting concept.

FriendShift Madness by vini60 2016-05-09T23:27:00

Wonderful! Very unique gameplay mechanic that was executed super well, the AI always felt frantic and fresh.

Fylgjur by Aaranos 2016-05-05T17:58:00

Wonderful weapon designs and animation. A really cool style.

The Big Fist by matt beckett 2016-04-19T22:55:00

One of the most fun games I've played this jam. Really clever level design and a beautifully simple yet satisfying mechanic.

Duck by Szabin 2016-04-26T05:53:00

A wonderfully challenging game, but rewardingly so. Nothing more satisfying than nailing a combo of rapid shape changes. A really satisfying challenge combining both the directionality and the shape change at the same time. Also the animation was really clean.

Goo Shift by Arg410 2016-04-28T19:58:00

Super fun physics and mechanic. The look and feel is real fun : D

Pathway by FiSilva 2016-05-06T15:18:00

Beautiful visuals and the combination aspect of shapeshifting added a really cool layer to the puzzles!

Hasardeux by Llucile 2016-04-21T22:38:00

Interesting mechanic. A bit buggy with the background color occasionally. Could use some flair to the core mechanic though, like a story besides it just being circles.

Disarranged by Sheepolution 2016-05-03T07:20:00

Easiest 5 stars I've given in my life. Not only hilarious but absolutely beautifully executed visually. You have a fantastic voice in games. (also props from a fellow löve dev!)

Goddamn Server by Nordic Ninja 2016-04-23T04:02:00

Pretty clean solid platformer

I am Ned and I am a Hippo by Jun & Pate 2016-04-24T20:40:00

Hated it, then honestly really loved it.

Hi, I'm Tom by maleero 2016-04-23T02:55:00

Mechanics need a lot of retooling to be more playable.

That Blue Square by argowen 2016-04-22T20:10:00

Swapping ability was very satisfying to master, at first I found myself transforming instead of jumping, but after a while it was fun to speed run levels as fast as I could. Graphics were simple but stylistically coherent which was good.

The Professional Shapeshifter by DivineOmega 2016-04-26T08:36:00

Intresting entry indeed. Sound design was spot on for the feel of the game.

Lokator 2: The Lokatening by Echo Team 2016-05-03T06:32:00

Very cool atmosphere, and good on you for tackling 3D space movement. Also a beautiful world.

Inner Beast by 4B 2016-04-19T05:23:00

Really really nice environment. Camera was a bit wonky.

Reptile Politik by aegypticus 2016-04-19T01:06:00

Wonderful concept, and the art has great character (Also you pointed out my game not running and it is fixed now, I'd for you to give it a second try!) Also props to being another Max Löve dev like myself : )

Reptile Politik by aegypticus 2016-04-19T01:07:00

mac*

Shifty Thing by Wahooney 2016-04-23T03:01:00

Runs a bit slow on my computer, but might just be me. Pretty fun and fast.

Morphing Maria by Frozen Fractal 2016-04-24T20:47:00

Fantastic. Challenging and interesting.

Polytopian by sudojess 2016-05-06T15:27:00

Fantastic. The movement controls were a bit wonky but the portal controls were excellent, especially the idea to have a peek, which helped make the warping feel really intuitive.

SHIFTROMINO by blubberquark 2016-04-29T13:37:00

A really clean look, and well thought out puzzles for such a new mechanic.

yoel color defense by yoel1234 2016-04-28T19:51:00

Very fun fluid controls and mechanic, the different colors really feel different (instead of just being superficially different).

Morpheus Triad by 11Schotter 2016-04-30T20:32:00

The wasd controls relative to direction are a bit odd, but the gameplay is really interesting. Also the sound and visuals are gorgeous, especially the transformations (the most important part!)

Shifting Worlds by ichbinkeinreh 2016-04-26T05:57:00

Truly wonderful puzzles and really fluid platforming and animation :D

Exhuman by Arvydas 2016-04-24T21:12:00

Very difficult, but that might just be me, haha. There seems to be a ton of depth to this.

Bloodbearer by emielboven 2016-04-24T20:35:00

Solid mechanics and wonderfully beautiful world.

Apeshift by tasteless 2016-04-19T01:10:00

Has potential, the scenario/narrative is an interesting starting point. (Also you caught an error in my game and I fixed it and I'd love for you to give it a second chance!)

Cloud Sculptor by Naca 2016-04-24T20:52:00

Wonderful. Really atmospheric (no pun intended)

Soulshifter by toastedgames 2016-04-19T05:17:00

I also agree that the e attack button was odd, but I liked how many different things there were to transform into, it made me really want to collect them all. Would be cool to have more variety among the attacks though. Also the music was very quiet when I played.

Shiftah by GaryS 2016-04-23T03:50:00

Really nice clean look, gameplay was a little simple though

Space Pole And Monkey by kronosfere 2016-04-23T03:58:00

One of a kind controls, not the most intuitive but fascinating, and really hilarious executed.

Aftertile by LOSTALLOY 2016-05-07T23:55:00

Delightful. I love the idea of the multiple endings, with hitting the spikes enough time even counting technically as an ending. Also beautifully animated.

The Adventures of Box Boy by airdinghy 2016-04-23T03:47:00

Really cool clean gameplay, except for the color swapping which felt a little clunky.

Unbecoming by tomlum 2016-04-19T00:53:00

Ah, my bad! All version should now be working!

Unbecoming by tomlum 2016-04-19T00:59:00

Many thanks nickavv!

The Cloak-ed Man by TinyHugger 2016-04-19T00:45:00

I think there's a bug...? Or maybe I don't know how to play the game... There are two of me, and one's upside down? And I can't get out of the box... And I can move up and down but that doesn't seem to be a control you explained. So I don't really know what to do.

Linear Motion by Pitƶik4 2016-04-28T06:42:00

Wonderful. Really novel but satisfying, fluid, and intuitive controls, even (especially) when the world was moving all over the place. A really fun exploration.

The Final Round by Titangea 2016-04-30T20:26:00

Gorgeous looking game, super ambitious

Cactus Corner by Millefey 2016-04-23T03:16:00

Fun art and music design, but the mechanics could be a little bit more ambitious.

2045 Henkei no Densetsu by Rock Eaters 2016-05-04T19:48:00

Fantastic! The art and animation was stellar and the gameplay was snappy.

Inner Maze by Uson Chen 2016-05-08T19:42:00

Beautiful and fascinating puzzles, especially when the ability to shift moods came in. Very fun way to tie the mechanic into the theme/narrative

Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis) by humble_ray 2016-04-27T00:53:00

A very interesting idea. The physics/collision got to be a bit wonky but I love the Kafka homage.

ANTIGRAVITY by eeely 2016-04-30T03:45:00

Very cool, and very very interesting narrative delivery.

Magical Cyclone by fsqrt 2016-05-02T05:58:00

Absolutely gorgeous game.

Blubbymorph by antarka 2016-04-28T06:32:00

Beautiful beautiful game. Levels, controls, art, all wonderful.

Light Shifter Temple by SengiG 2016-04-21T22:34:00

Very interesting and wonderfully atmospheric, mechanic, music, and art all worked with each other great.

Edge Shift - Blackhole by Danoli3 2016-04-28T07:08:00

Absolutely gorgeous game and the mechanic feels real good to control. Got to be a little difficult too fast I think, but very fun nonetheless.

level dog by Remynfv 2016-04-28T06:37:00

Wasn't sold on the game at first, but switching to the yellow mode became really satisfying, and that layered in with the obstacles to avoid actually made a really fun challenging experience.

Painaekiller by naeval 2016-04-30T03:50:00

Very cool, solid gameplay

Mr. Purrgalar by KairosXIII 2016-04-23T03:09:00

Cool concept, some well thought out puzzles. UI was really clever with the watch.

Super Groovin' by mgooch0190 2016-04-30T03:47:00

Nothing like some good old fashion button mashing

Algebro by ChummyWinds 2016-04-19T05:34:00

Adorable graphics, and also the meters being the multipen was genius. A good deal of fun.

luvShape by luvShape 2016-04-29T13:24:00

Wow! Wow. Really stellar feel, and a surprisingly addicting mechanic. The visuals and sound really made the technically simple gameplay super fun. 5 stars from me.

Bounded by Gravity by erb 2016-04-23T02:39:00

The concept seems really interesting, but it runs really slow.
