The shape shifting mechanic was nice as well. My favorite was the fishbowl :)\r\rSome checkpoints or less punishing levels would probably have made my experience with the game better. I died alot (hehe I'm worthless, all my fault) but having to start over was a bit annoying in the long run."},{"author_name":"ccglp","author_uid":"34494","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 10:54am","epoch":1461062940,"text":"(Hola desde ESNE- Madrid! :D)\r\rGraphics are really good, but maybe level design needs a twist. At the start of the game, you walk so much without doing anything, and this can be good, but isn't when you die and restart the level from the beginning.\r\rBut it's a good work, and a hell of a job in these little time, Congratulations!\r\r(Music makes it moody )"},{"author_name":"davidkanc","author_uid":"92874","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 11:05am","epoch":1461063600,"text":"Awesome art and design but a bit frustrating the control of the jumper character because the movement inertia.\r\rCongratulations I like it very much"},{"author_name":"EdoMiyamoto","author_uid":"18304","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 11:09am","epoch":1461063840,"text":"Hey folks, game idea is cool, as well as the game design, but you really need to balance it. I try the first jump like 5 times, character didn't want to jump in time, then was stuck in a wall :\/ like bodsey said, checkpoint could be useful ! However I hope to play a post-LD version of this game 'cause it's promising :)"},{"author_name":"studdert249","author_uid":"59664","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 11:52am","epoch":1461066420,"text":"Music and the purple palette gave the game a sense of loneliness in a world that I would have liked to explore a bit more.

The music is very eerie and the lighting really adds to the mysterious feeling. Nice light effects too.\r\rThe punishment for dying is just brutal. The walking distance until you get to the actual obstacles is too far. If I walk past the "Space to jump" tutorial more than once, it is a bad sign, and calls for a checkpoint further into the level. There is a input delay making jumping really hard."}],"images":["ld35\/93175-f8ef07531a5d86e8ca64203e3de5f3d1.jpg","ld35\/93175-9b31bc4da3c09e46607975423409cdba.jpg","ld35\/93175-989f73ef51e648a5d299b8730d124d95.jpg","ld35\/93175-8d7d5116de158aef4d08f9179aed4990.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/mega.nz\/#!WBd1kJLC!SDse1aQLd7Ykp3a94b0Yvq6rFcMYrPNul5sr2k59aDM","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"1306","g_author":"93175","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"2650","g_title":"The Elemental","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"535","g_commentcount":"19","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/93175-shot0-1461020678.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/93175-shot1-1461020678.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/93175-shot2-1461020678.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/93175-shot3-1461020678.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The Elemental is a prototype game that gives you the power to transform in a solid, liquid or mist.\r\n\r\n- In solid state, you can walk and jump normally.\r\n- When you are liquid, you will slide down slopes, but you can't jump.\r\n- At last, mist form allows you to fly but you lose movement power.\r\n\r\n\r\n### Software used ###\r\n\r\n- Engine: Unity 5.3 + Ferr 2D Terrain Editor.\r\n- Graphics: Adobe Photoshop\r\n- Audio: FL Studio + Audition\r\n\r\n### Team Work ###\r\n\r\n2 Days of development + 1 day of bug fixing\r\n\r\n- Ad\u00e1n Alonso -Main Programming-\r\n- Oliver Fuentes -Programming, Level Design-\r\n- \u00c1lvaro Fern\u00e1ndez -Graphics-\r\n- Laura Daud\u00e9n -Graphics-\r\n- Omar Suill\u00e9n -Music, Graphics, Level Design-","title":"The Elemental"}
