Shape Switching by neilcorre2k6

[raw]
made by neilcorre2k6 for LD35 (COMPO)
This game is patterned before the famous game "Color Switch". I made it for this year's LudumDare #35 with the theme "Shapeshift".

The theme is very challenging since I wasn't really expecting it, haha, but, still, made it through! :D

Instructions:
Press the Left Mouse Button to shapeshift! :D

Don't forget to enjoy and try not to get pissed! ;)

I love the concept, but the controls makes the game too difficult, as you have to remember which shape comes next.

I get it's a game designed for mobile, but at least two buttons would have make the game more suitable for PC.

Nice game and mechanics! I find the controls a little bit uncomfortable though, it is not easy to remember the sequence of shapes.

Difficult game, but fun! A simple concept. It would be better if you could tell which shape you were going to hit, rather than try and figure it out in the last second.

jesus cripes that's hard :P I got 7. It's very hard to anticipate what the next shape will be sometimes because the falling patterns are so similar it doesn't because obvious whether you'll hit a square or triangle for instance until it's much closer, at which point you have no time to change your mind. I enjoyed it though :)

It is very challenging indeed! Memorizing the sequence of the shapes helps a lot of course :) Enjoyable!

This is really hard. I wish I had more control over what shape I'd turn into rather than cycling through them.

Fun game, and quite a challenge. I did think there were a couple of times where I needed to be 2 shapes at the same time though, which seemed a bit harsh!

Damn, this is hard. I like the idea of the mechanic, but it would be nice if you could reliably pick your next shape. Or at least display the order on screen.

Great idea, but really difficult to play.

Nice Entry! I like the mechanics and the sound effects. The difficulty is quite hard. It tooke me several approaches just to beat level 1. Nevertheless, well done! I could imagine this being really funny on mobile devices.

It could have been much better with a little more control over which shape to choose. Sometimes you couldn't tell what shape to switch to until the last second and that led to being unable to switch in time (if it happened to be too many shapes away from what you were currently). Other than that, I liked it.

Very nice concept and audio! But as others have already pointed out, some more control to what shape you'll turn into would be nice! Still, great work!

simple game. It was okay, but not phenomenal.
just a sort of middling game.
Maybe add a 'Previous shape' for right-mouse.

Good game, but I would like to have some easier figures at the beginning. It's pretty hard and many players can quit very quickly. It would be also nice to assign shapes to keys / buttons.
