Note: some levels are meant to trap you. Press R if you get stuck.

The Materialistic Shift is a game made for Ludum Dare 35, based on the theme "ShapeShift". It was based on an idea my friend threw at me. The point of the game is to complete a maze by going through different coloured and shaped gates. The colour and shape of your character dictate which parts of the map are open to you, and pads are scattered around the map to change your shape and/or colour.
If you do not like the screen shaking when you change your shape, go into the settings and disable screen shake.

Congrats!
The menu is also the nicest one I have come across so far.
I would like to see perhaps smaller levels which you can see all at once, but with much more possibilities, where you have like 5 different shapes that all look correct at the first sight, but only one of them can get to the finish eventually. Then you would have to actually think about what are you doing, and perhaps even backtrack from the finish to find out the whole solution.
I like the sounds.
Oh shit, there is a map editor. I already managed to discover basic controls (wasd to move, tab to change layer, and mouse wheel to change block type (a bit counter intuitive)). I however have no idea if or how can I play the level. I would love to create some custom levels.
simple but great! i love the map editor
Movements are a bit too rigid and little jumps when you switch shape/color are the only little annoying things.
I envy to have my game being only 2MB ;)
