I really enjoyed that and (as others have said) a great implementation of the theme. That image of the bug drowning was priceless. I let out quite a cackle of laughter upon seeing that the first time. Pure Ludum Dare funnies.
Haha, loved it. Any questions I had about the use of the them are cast aside when I hear those sound effects. The kinda humour only a Ludum Dare game will conjure up. I really liked the extra layer of being able to throw guns and bodies too. Nice work.
Good to see another entrant using raw javascript like myself so you've got my respect there already. And you've done a nice job with the platforming physics and collision. Everything feels neat and tidy which means a lot to me when playing platform games. On my first couple of playthroughs I didn't have a clue what I was doing and even after reading the solution I managed to mess it up once. Not sure where the 'evolution' comes in but the time manipulation was novel.
I too liked the idea of the level evolving instead of the player but it just meant I had to keep repeating the same bits I'd already done which became less appealing with each iteration. It would be nice if it were a more open selection of routes and depending on which way you went, it would try to make that route more difficult.
It was quite therapeutic guiding that guy around. Nice use of the theme and nice implementation overall. Not exactly challenging but relaxing enough to entertain. Nice one.
Took a while to get my head around the mechanics but once it clicked I really enjoyed it. It was good having to think about which trait was needed and when too.
Yeah, not really sure how it fits the theme but it was kinda fun. I did like the use of lightning in the gameplay. A change from the usual 'jump and run' games.
Haha, that face was terrifying when it first turned up. The swimming behaviour was quite satisfying. Enough control to dodge but not so easy it was dull. Nice job.
Really nice looking game and it feels quite polished. I liked the ending and the hud indicator was a welcome addition. Om nom nom indeed.
Can't go wrong with a bit of tetris and theme was worked in quite nicely. It seemed unable to reset properly though as any subsequent goes, I got no score and the pieces were still complicated. Nice, tidy game though.
Nice simple stuff but I gave up after being beaten by the bits that are a jump with a block above them. It seems impossible to squeeze through them.
I found a slight cheat by the way. Sliding doesn't slow you down so you can just hold it permanently and never have to worry about timing a slide.
It always seems to end with some mutant chicken thing running across the bottom of the screen and then I lose. No idea what collecting apples or diamonds achieves either.
Nice to see a different take on the theme there along with some solid platforming behaviour. Nice job.
Yeah, I got screwed on the food level too. The evolution cutscene was nice the first time but all that waiting each time put me off in the end. I like the sense of humour to it though. The 'cousin' joke made me laugh.
I liked the atmosphere but really struggled with the controls and camera.
I found myself getting quite engrossed in trying to figure out what the trick to breeding was but the difficulty in reading that font and clearly discerning the goats/stats got in the way quite a bit. Loved those fight sounds though and enjoyed playing it.
This works on the theme nicely. Mutant Turtle/Bird combos are an amusing prospect and a fun use of the theme.
Just like a real pet I felt more like a slave to him than an owner but any game with pooping as a mechanic wins my vote. Nice little sprite too.
A tidy little piece there. Something about a bit of 'Track and Field' button hammering always gets me swearing (in a good way). Particularly enjoyed the...
"Do you want to evolve?"
No
"Game Over"
Surprise and less hand-holding in games is a good thing.

Morphing Maria by Frozen Fractal 2016-05-06T11:54:00
Played it through to the end and enjoyed it. Almost gave up early thinking "it's just another sokoban game" but ended up sticking it out and enjoyed some of the later levels. They were nicely designed and challenging without being annoying. Nice job.
SHAPE☆SHIFT by KaiClavier 2016-05-03T11:52:00
This took some perseverance to figure out what was going on but it was worth it in the end. I gave up on the 'revive the enemy' jumping puzzle which was a really nice idea but I was finding it frustrating to execute it.
Loved the jazzy music too.
Shifty Seamus by BlennosoftGames 2016-04-29T11:57:00
The level design was nice on this. I felt it slowly ramping up in difficulty quite nicely and was challenging without being annoying.
Loading... by unoion 2016-04-22T12:09:00
Love the idea that you're playing the loading bar. Sadly I couldn't even do the first one.
Beyond Human by Martin Enderleit 2016-04-22T12:01:00
It's a simple concept that does the job quite well. I found the physics a bit slippery but I actually wanted more levels when it was done so it's certainly on the right tracks.
Black Lines by duh 2016-04-22T11:56:00
I really like the idea that bumping yourself scores points rather than just distance. It's a simple risk reward that works.
Shape Jumper by muumeroinen 2016-04-21T11:52:00
On about the fourth go it clicked and I got 827. I like the simple art, the controls are easy to get used to and the challenge level is just right.
SLAM_SHIFT by Udell Games 2016-04-20T12:19:00
It feels like a complete game (not something made in a weekend) which is great. I like the switching between craft and ball modes. However I really struggled with the control of the craft and was constantly restarting. I think a few tweaks to handling and camera could make all the difference.
Ovid Debt by Madzinah 2016-04-20T12:12:00
Looks like we both went for the same implementation of the theme. I think there's a few others out there too.
A great job for your first ludum dare.
reshapybius by psychonull 2016-04-20T12:07:00
I love how clean, polished and finished this feels. Simple design well executed.
Walking Simulator by Arskiainen 2016-04-19T12:19:00
I really like your take on shapeshifting and I loved the fall anim.
The Big Fist by matt beckett 2016-04-19T12:04:00
Loved it. Simple idea, nicely executed and some smart level design considering it's only one ability to work with. I'd definitely play more of this if you expanded upon it
Size Matters by Benn 2016-04-18T11:10:00
I really like your implementation of the theme and whilst it was difficult I did persevere for quite a while so it's doing it's job.
I had to give up on the screen with the red blocks moving from right to left. So hard.
Troop 35 by Aaants 2016-04-18T11:02:00
The presentation and mood of this is lovely.
ShiftSword by SkullPixel 2016-04-18T10:54:00
I too, really really liked the little morphing animations of the weapons. My highest score was 15 but I ended up resorting to just continually firing arrows as the sword seemed too slow and the shield often got me killed.
I think with a bit of tweaking on the speeds and strength of the weapons this could be really addictive.
ShapeShift Runner by martymon 2016-04-18T09:56:00
I really like the idea behind this and actually found myself zoning in quite a bit while playing. The collision felt a bit wobbly at times and I found it enough of a challenge just to keep the ball alive but I enjoyed it. Sadly my best score was a measly 8 and that ended when I seemed to run out of squares. I think I need more practice. One more go.
Bortman by Rscar 2016-04-18T09:48:00
This felt really well rounded. I was getting a feel for the arc of my arrows and it was really satisfying to place a perfect, single arrow.
The changing into a bird felt a bit arbitrary but I enjoyed myself along the way so I don't think it matters that much.
Photagogue by ChuiGum 2016-04-18T09:39:00
Yep, I too saw the dino punching blog post and wanted to play. However, I'm just getting a blank screen or a link to google.
I'll try again later.
Blue Moon by Mark Smith 2016-04-18T09:37:00
Haha, I was going to say it was a bit pedestrian until I found my first hunter and crapped my pants. I got 49/100 before the swines shot me out of the sky.
Movement was a little ropey (this fish was painfully slow) but the objective and challenge seemed to be balanced just right. I like the touches like sound of the bullets zipping by you and it looks quite nice.
I really enjoyed it.
QUADRISIC by oal 2016-04-18T09:28:00
602 was my best. I wasn't actually sure what determined how many neighbouring cells were selected as it seemed to choose some neighbours but not all.
It was a shame there wasn't any sound as the general presentation was otherwise really nice. You got that puzzle game visual feedback right.
I was also just about to submit my rating when I suddenly felt an urge for one more go (and improved my score) so it's clearly worked.
Down the Drain by nopogo 2016-04-18T09:02:00
I played it to the end which is always a good sign. My final time was 2:57.084 though I don't think I felt the urge to go back and beat it.
The controls and collision felt a little too stiff to really satisfy but there's a solid idea in there. Popping up out of the water to land on dry land (like a penguin) was kinda satisfying so I'd love to do more stuff like that.
The game was pretty light on instructions but I managed just fine so it would suggest it's fairly intuitive which is good stuff.
Well done.
