Mebby by 7Soul

made by 7Soul for LD27 (JAM)

You are Mebby, an amoeba flying in an unknown space where many strange creatures dwell.

As an amoeba, you have the power to transform into anything you kill and this will protect you from becoming a dead amoeba.

Controls:
Mouse to move and shoot

Instructions:
You have to kill something, otherwise you will take damage every 10 seconds. Kill an enemy to transform into it and reset the counter.

You can keep an history of 8 enemies you have killed, so when you die you go back 1 on the list.

I tried to figure out which drugs you were on when you made it, and realized it must be ALL OF THEM.

(review of game coming tomorrow)

Wow this is cool! I really like that you become that last enemy you killed. The giant countdown fits really well with the overall atmosphere. Great game guys!

Dude, that was awesome. I loved the variety of weapons, the art style, the music, and pretty much everything else. It's a lot to take in, but I really enjoyed it quite a bit. I hope you keep working on it.

Super-awesome! Loved the graphics, sounds, the idea of changing your character by kills and the fast-pacedness. Overall one of the most fun games I've played at LD.

THE FACE!

This is probably the trippiest game I've played since Space Giraffe, and it's a lot of fun. The graphics and presentation is amazing.

I just wish it was a twin stick shooter. The current controls are too weird, and detract a bit from the experience. Feels a bit like you're battling the controls while trying to avoid the flying tiki heads.

Lots of fun though. And the graphics, the sounds and presentation of the thing is just mindblowing.

Interesting game, I feel like it didn't incorporate the theme too much though, the concept of the characters was interesting, the controls made it a tougher game to play, I feel like controlling and aiming made for some unnecessarily harder game play. Other than that I felt the game looked nice and was entertaining.

I liked the game, but not really the control scheme. Maybe it's because I only have a mouse pad on my laptop.
