Space Shift by dj_pale

[raw]
made by dj_pale for LD35 (JAM)
Small space shmup where your ship changes with different abilities every 3 seconds. Survive waves with ships with similar capabilities!

Arrow keys to steer, space to shoot.

Made using luxe game engine (Haxe)

== Digital Apathy==
* Code: dj_pale
* Gfx and ass. code: plink
* Music: skurk

** Very minor post-compo fix - disable space-key in browser on canvas to avoid accidental scrolling. Note that if the game is too big for your screen you can use browser zoom to make it smaller!

Loved the idea, polish and execution was solid, too (...and the "shape shift" sound effect is super cool!). Great job!

I made a game with the exact same name :) Pretty different, but both arcade-y. Like yours! Nice and difficult without being overly frustrating.

The forced shifting is really annoying, especially when you change when dodging moving towards a wall to the green ship. Only 10% of the deaths felt like they were my fault.

Love the audio, though.

Felt like either shapeshifting needed to be more controlled or to warn the player they were about to shift.

I think a warning or a visible timer would be helpful, but the concept was good and addictive! Good job!

Great audio, and an cool take on the theme. As some others have said, some warning about when the ship is about to shift would be great. I most often died when DEF switched to MOV and I suddenly moved much faster than I expected (into a bullet!)

Hangs for me on Firefox when I press Space for second time (first time is to start the game). Also background is dark only on within some rectangle: http://imgur.com/qJzPs23

Thanks, that was fun. I think if you made the ship flash before it switched it could prevent some of the frustrating deaths. Movement was especially nicely done.

Fun! Just one little comment: it's possible to move diagonaly backward but not forward.
