Shifty Shapey by pixelguff

[raw]
made by pixelguff for LD35 (COMPO)
A game of concentration, and not screwing up.

This is a sequel to a game I made in a few hours a couple of years ago. Simply move left and right and make sure you're the right shape for the portal you have to pass through. Get a high score! Try to beat it! Or don't! It's up to you, I can't tell you how to live your life.

CONTROLS:

XBox Pad:
Left Stick - Move about
A - Morph into a cube
B - Morph into a sphere

Keyboard:
A and D - Move about
J - Morph into a cube
L - Morph into a sphere

DISCLAIMERS:
1) The pad doesn't appear to work on the web version. No idea why.
2) I haven't tested the Mac or Linux versions (yet), so You're On Your Own!
3) The music is shit, but I did it in the last 20 minutes.

(Disclaimer Update: It seems to work OK on the Mac for me, but the pad inputs are all wrong, so it's keyboard only, I'm afraid.)

Thanks for reading and hopefully playing!

Very very nice. It was much easier on a controller than keyboard and mouse.

Very cool game. I made a somewhat similar game, but I can see your arcade look fits better.

The music is not shit for something done in 20 minutes. I feel it could have gone a bit faster when it sped up, but overall an enjoyable experience.

A fun variation on the endless runner. The controls felt a little too "floaty" for a precision game and the game over message was a little jarring, but it matches the theme well and I could see this being expanded with additional shapes and pickups. Good work! :)

Cheers for the kind comments! I'll probably continue working on this and turn it into something more...more? (And definitely redo the soundtrack!)

I like the neon graphics :)
You could add more variation to the positions of the holes so that it's less predictable.
When you score over 30 it becomes hard to move in the correct position due to the high friction, I'd probably tune it down.
Nice work! :)

Liked the shape-shifting action - liked the arcade look!

Well done!

Very pretty, nice feel. Shame the music is on such a short loop.

Probably should have a the offensive content checkbox on for the 'game over' message.

High score: 37. Giving you an extra point for the game over message.

I played some game like it. but it's the easiest to control and the difficulty go progressely. Good job ;)
