Shape Running by maartene

[raw]
made by maartene for LD35 (COMPO)
This game was created for Ludum Dare 35, theme: Shapeshift

So that is just what you do in this runner style game: change shape to match the obstacles so they will let you through. Otherwise...you'll just waltz right into them which you won't survive.

Controls: use your keyboards numeric keys (above your letter keys) 1 through 4 to change shape.

Have fun!

Created using:
- Unity 5;
- Blender (modeling);
- Pixelmator (2D stuff);
- ChipTone (http://sfbgames.com/chiptone/) for SFX;
- Garageband (music).

Nice game! Kinda reminds me of our own approach ;)

I do really like the psychedelic space atmosphere that is greatly supported by the art and audio sytle.

It would be nice if the track was generated randomly to be a little more diverse. Also, I don't really see the point of the brake button - instead it would be more fun if the speed can't be affected by the player, but the should be a little slower to have more time to react.

At first I had trouble with the controls, as there were times when it seemed the physics and animations were out of sync; there appeared to be a gap but I still crashed or I thought I was through but changed shape too soon. Once you get into the rhythm of it, though, the controls feel much better and become second-nature.

Also had trouble where it seemed like I should be through, but seems to work better once you're used to it.

Good game, after a while your muscle memory takes over and you dont have to think about what key to press.

Well I just found my favourite entry. Amazing graphics, motion, music and just the right amount of challenge. Also a good use of the theme. I think the only thing that could make it better is randomisation of the colours and an infinite track. Amazing job! :)

Funny to see a game that fits my first idea. With that execution and those mechanics it's really a great game

Nice non-endless runner that looks good, sounds good and it's fun to play! At first I thought it was endless, so the finish line surprised me :) Very good sense of speed. Well done, congrats!
