LD35 — Shapeshift

The Deronois by Griz 2016-04-23T20:24:00

Nice demo, soo short but there are good graphic and the shield mechanic is pretty cool :)

Gondwana's journey by JuDelCo 2016-04-23T21:02:00

How pleasant to play this game !
Controls are incredibly smooth whether you walk or fly.
Everything in the game looks fun and well designed.
It's rare I'm that satisfied.
Too bad I can't rate audio, a clean piece of well dispatched music fits enjoyable and coordinated sounds.
My only dig'd be a lack of innovation but I'm way sure you could add some content to settle that ;)
Cheers !

shwap by AbelToy 2016-04-22T19:21:00

OMG I'm in love with this game :D (I r8 8/8)
I wouldn't have imagined another music than this one, honestly. It isn't THAT innovative but the way it's realised makes it unique somehow.

I hardly find a connection with the theme but I really can't care less for once.
Btw, you should do something for the rabbit death (burnt and drowned wtf)
Ah, I almost forgot, I thought for a minute or so the game was bugged since I was assuming it was a keyboard only game for some reason : lack of menu / tips and I was bored to read instructions on the page (yeah, I'm a lazy gamer right ^^')
Graphics are simply beautiful, and ... this music makes me smile, it's lol xD

I can only say I love the gameplay (mixing platform with some kind of point & click, yay)
I've reached the 3rd stage so far and I can't go on :(
Please keep me informed, I want to play the next levels ! (this is worth money on Steam, I'm serious)

Shapeshifters by Joozey 2016-04-23T00:30:00

I would have rated you well for graphics lol, too bad I can't.
I haven't understood really well the enter power but I feel satisfied with the 3 forms, it's simple, effective and neat.
The black tips bar is wonderful !!!!
There is enough content provided imo but if you have it takes to make more levels, I'm sure you may release it on Steam.

Town by RedPanda 2016-04-27T19:38:00

omg I can't stand this jitter q.q
I'm interested by this game and it was worth the pain to get to play with that.
My number 1 despair reason was the 1M HP bar which makes the game unbeatable imo.
Just saying, having to click coins is more than onerous (considering a twerking screen !).
The name change along the spell upgrade is very pleasant.
I've totally NOT understood how the reflecting system is operating, I've assumed the boxes on the right had something to do with it but I couldn't find a logic.
With better stats balance and a global clarification, I'm sure this game could make our day.

Rebellium by Anti 2016-04-22T07:23:00

The game is too zoomed in on Windows, it makes it tough to play. I have been surprised by the mini-game part though. However, I hardly find a coherence with the theme, except maybe the shift between modes. Still, a good tactical game. :)

Disciple by Japes 2016-04-27T19:00:00

http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/234/765/b7e.jpg <-- me on this game
Honestly, I have no idea how I sometimes survive pressing I, O, S and D simultaneously.
A good thing I don't have to rate the audio xD
Anyway, I've found the game fun and graphics beautiful somehow. It could be really good if it wasn't for the painful game mechanics, I mean the kind of storyline is cool, theme's respected and the global concept is nice.

Biscuit Switch by retrogradeorbit 2016-04-28T12:18:00

nice graphic and animation, the idea is cool :)

Shape Shifters by SelfTitled 2016-04-27T20:02:00

Good thing I'm no truck driver lol.
Although there is no real 'shapeshifting', this game is really good. I've enjoyed driving slowly (yeah, i'm weird) to deliver my shapes !
I find the route a bit long but the leveling makes it not so repetitive.
I'm ok with graphics except for these ugly V-shape mountains. ><
Audio's sweet and fits the atmosphere.
Gameplay and its physics are without a doubt what makes it huge.
Perhaps, some ingame content like speed or a minimap would be pleasant.
Anyway, good job. ^^

Shape Shifter by Reisen 2016-04-22T09:03:00

The crash is real ... I'm sad I can't test :(

JaJa's Bizarre Transformer by reckhou 2016-04-22T07:45:00

A lot to say about this game !
Without blowing it out of proportion, the lack of a decent way to pause or quit the game is frustrating.
I find the game a bit hard to play ... but lets stop being negative :) The graphics are fucking awesome. (btw, I think I'm in love with Jaja :d) The gameplay totally sticks with the theme. There is content. Despite what I've read on some comments, the music fits. I may say, with a certain je ne sais quoi to add to this game, it would be worth selling it on Steam !

The Experiment by Oliver_MB 2016-04-22T17:34:00

I feel ... experimented LOL (don't hit me q.q)
Anyway, humour is here, so I guess that makes the day.
No, clearly, I expected a more complex system of wtf question/answer, I'm rather disappointed because it could have been so much better with a little more :(
As expected the audio is 5/5 xd

Side Effects by The Mad Strauss 2016-04-22T17:02:00

The best game I've seen so far. It's a global 5/5 !
I'm fond of pixel art, but this one disappointed me somehow I dunno why honestly ...
Music totally fits, theme totally fits !
Thank you for escape, I immensely appreciate. T_T
What to say about gameplay ... smashing guards into pieces in wolverine-like form is probably the funniest thing i've played ever. :D

The Alchemist Oblivion by nlbi21 2016-04-23T20:39:00

nice game with little introduction, it's hard to control both characters but this is very fun concept.

The polyman by marmpa 2016-04-22T22:13:00

Personally, I can't handle the graphics. (just seen you dont want to rate them xD)
A bit innovative as the ... thing I assume is a rabbit is quite OP and you end up spamming T to get it asap.
I thought the timer would annoy me, and in fact it did the opposite. I'm not sure 90 secondes is realistic though. xd
Could give something good I'm sure.

Project: D.A.S.H by muffty 2016-04-23T21:53:00

I lol'd so hard at the double-triple... voice xD
Controls are smooth, music is sweet.
I like the concept and ... let's say the game is good. (omg I said it !)
Anyway, the kind of menu at start is well thought, the map is big enough, difficulty's ok, well, except what I assume is a map wall bug at the far right end, I can't find anything bad to say (imma leave this comment box and cry in my bed q.q) gg !

Lucky Grenades by GGC_Language 2016-04-28T12:07:00

Nice Game, sounds are cool, Sometimes, I feel to be immortal.

Need for Shift by aemiliu5 2016-04-23T20:56:00

Very good game ! I could not leave game without hear all music :), nice challenging and nice idea to change gravity and destroy obstacle.

Dís by AceyT 2016-04-21T17:29:00

Simple game. Very cool graphics. :) Just one thing about the jumping capacity : it seems a bit incoherent to me as you can jump again and again if you fall.

Triplets Team by davalcordub 2016-04-23T23:05:00

A good start for some good game ... too bad I have no idea what it could be (don't be afraid to talk about what you wanted to do). It still lacks gameplay concept. The best part is the audio for me, music's nice. ^^

Public Opinion by Finn Stokes 2016-04-25T12:43:00

Nice game, it's should be better if we could playing against IA on single player.

Pick One by Hankenstien 2016-04-23T20:08:00

I love geometry games, and this one is no exception :)
Sounds are ok for me but I find them too high compared to the nice music.
Your "how to play" is probably the only one that I've read until the end as it's well made.
Despite some issues got spamming transfos, it's always a pleasure to walk on walls.
Keep going !

Project Catslevania by Marc F. 2016-04-23T22:57:00

sloooooooooooooooow, no I'm kidding, it just lacks some gravity (or perhaps a new title like "Castlevania on the Moon")
Anyway, I love the audio !
I am ok with graphics but please forget this style for the cat q.q
Good content but I'm not sure it's implemented after bomb transfo.
Good job !

ShapeShifter by JozefGorila 2016-04-22T17:15:00

Korean difficulty, sometimes you get a fireball and a bullet at the very same time.
Anyway, innovative, fun to play, graphics ... ? nah lets forget this >:)
A good little game that I would play on IPhone with a (better ?) design.
I don't really mind installing it honestly. The most annoying remains I have to reinstall to get to see instructions. -_-

Season Shifter by fb_holzbaum 2016-04-22T08:58:00

How sad I cant rate you on music :(

I'm really sorry to put it that way, and I know i suck at jumping in games but I got ebola jumping in this game : yeah, something is definitely fucked up with that, I would have quit if I couldnt have tricked by grabbing the edge of the elevating platform from water then hanging on the wall to wait the platform to go down. Speaking of water, how sad I have to sink instead of swimming to go down. ><
Sometimes, you can jump fucking high but you have no idea how to do it again and end up spamming space with hopes of triggering some OP jump.
Also, I found some nasty bug double clicking the ctrl button, I swear it made Frank fly ! I'm gonna assume it's a god mode.

Positive aspects now xD :
Graphics are way better than anything I've seen so far, even outside this jam, they're smooth and pleasant.
Again, music is beautiful.
I LIKED the Rod of Ages idea xd.
And well, this is my kind of games so I've only been a bit rough because I couldn't play it properly >:(
(really you've no idea how irritating it felt to play such a pretty game raging for something so stupid)

Please fix this shitty jumping/swimming and sell it on Steam ! :D

Soulshifter by toastedgames 2016-04-21T17:48:00

Very good game. I like it. Except the very pixelated screen menu, we appreciate the functionnalities like the sound bar :) or the skins for your own character to distinguish him from the ennemies.

Knightwolf by Ironhead 2016-04-21T18:09:00

I liked playing the game, except that I suck at jumping ... Anyway, graphics rock, music's good, sound's ok. Getting one shot by monsters is so frustrating :(. My mate keeps thinking the sound the character makes when he dies is from some porn q.q

Connected-Souls by MayankUnreal 2016-04-22T16:10:00

I like the bird. :) (and the main character is hot lol)
Anyway, the shifting capacity is well designed.
Graphics are quite ok : thumbs up for menu and tips ingame.
No pause / exit, annoying q.q
There is music, well ... good music, but the way it triggers gets me confused, and sounds are way too high compared to the main music.
Gameplay's fine I'd say, a bit tricky to dodge some wheels especially with a down arrow key combined to space bar (just why ?! o_o')
For a first time, it's pretty neat though ^^

Dark Dungeons by Pineapple 2016-04-21T17:12:00

Very innovative. NOT INTUITIVE selection menu.
The concept of 3 separated modes is quite frustrating but I guess it's the purpose. It is a borderline project according to the theme but honestly I like it.

LD35_Games by simbaste15 2016-04-22T15:21:00

I've been stuck at a part of the game, but it's good overall. Graphics are neat, music sounds a bit repetitive but nice, the robot is well designed.

sHaPe by Telzidar 2016-04-27T18:47:00

It's a very nice concept that I find way better than the rock-scissors-paper games I've played in this jam.
I'm afraid there's not much to say about gameplay however I think you're revelant and efficient in providing information to the player (read good tip bar).
Don't lose this good habit and do better next time !

Wild Runner by Venneque 2016-04-22T10:57:00

Yeah guys, we've been short on time for the deadline. :( I've easily made an .exe for Windows from the SDL source with CodeBlocks the day after. I hope I can upload it soon.

Wild Runner by Venneque 2016-04-22T19:37:00

I hadn't thought about using DropBox ... Now it's way easier, I feel stupid LOL
Anyway, thanks for the positive feed back :)
We are glad you enjoy our very first game !

Rock scissors paper by spb_Rusty 2016-04-22T10:52:00

Very innovative game. I like playing it as it remains simple and neat.
IA seems a bit buggy sometimes. Design looks great.
Sound's annoying, I'd prefer a real music rather than that.
Gameplay can get rough when it comes to changing forms, you easily lose one life or two if you overstay on the source of a material.
Finally, the theme is perfectly respected. Good job ! :)

Shrine Spirit Shuffle by nonplusnon 2016-04-22T08:20:00

Being myself a fan of Ahri on LoL, I could only love this game xD
Anyway, graphics are simple and neat. The concept is pretty much the same way. I felt sad being unable to finish the game on the 6th or 7th stage because of a missing spirit. I didnt find the game so hard until then, perhaps there would something to say about the shifting part but it didnt frustrate me so much.

I would strongly recommend adding a new concept by the 4th or 5th game to make me stop feeling this game repetitive.

Yet, I enjoyed this game. :)

LD36 — Ancient Technology

Archy's Revenge by oswald_hurlem 2016-08-31T20:29:00

Still trying to find out how to burn these damn ships.
Controls are fine.
Graphics look quite good.
Keep going.

The Tourist by lekiy 2016-08-31T20:05:00

Nothing personal but i hate your ladders, just climbing business.

I hate that rude one and only heart too.

I have come to like playing it despite my added hatred for one-shooting skeletons, no idea how that sorted out this way though.

Graphics look nice but take a closer look at the gameplay, this Zelda II restart feels like a punishment.

Allan by Damdoshi 2016-08-31T19:36:00

I swear I felt like a mole in this game. Please do give me light master !
Graphics look incredibly old but that makes it feel like a hardcore oldschool dungeon crawler, and well it is one !
The game is as dark as difficult to me.
The whole thing brings a scary atmosphere out and I can tell that I may push you into wanting to explore furthermore.

I know nothing about a possible ending, I have only survived enough time into such dark to pick data up and then die to some angry shooting turrets before quitting this game. Congratulations for making me doing this !

Without any other dibs, you have done a very nice demonstration of what your engine can do, especially in regards to these awkward but effective light effects.

Wheel Warrior by Shatter Point Studios 2016-08-31T19:53:00

Check that out ! A game inside a game, with double correlation to the theme !!

Although the game in itself is no wonderland, you have got sweet a pretty nice and smart concept that I would have rated 5/5 if it was not for that update on this LD.

I do not remember having such a try to hit a score (80 so far, I suck)

Took me some time to understand i actually had to hit the buttons with mouse and not to use the keyboard lol.

Thumbs up for the kid's misery grumble sound.
