Little George and the black hats by swellbastion

[raw]
made by swellbastion for LD35 (COMPO)
Once again I went the platformer route. Theres physics and stuff. Let me know what you think.

My idea for the theme was you dont shapeshift yourself but you shapeshift blocks. I went for a pretty simple kind of shape shifting which some people might not consider shape shifting.

I learned a bunch about phaser.js. It seems cool. It kept my lag better than last time.

Quite a difficult game, had a bit of trouble getting beyond 2nd pair of guys. The physics on the cubes sometimes act quite unpredictably, launching me, the cube or the enemy occasionally.

Why must these mind flayers, in 3-piece suits and capes, keep shooting me dead? Why? Pretty good game, but damn hard. :-)

Super difficult. I liked the shapeshifting mechanic. Not sure why they kept shooting me though, haha

Good idea but poorly executed.
Music is fine.
Very hard.

Thanks for playing my game. I see that you used PhaserJS as well - nice. :) The gameplay in your game could be a bit more flowing, this way it's somewhat challenging. Nice idea.

I chubby.
I fat.
Game hard.
Game fun. :3
(I actually found a glitch where when the blocks get big, and you get inside it, you fly up! :D)

i really could not figure this out - you need a simpler tutorial level - i liked the idead of shaping the objects - nice effort

Interesting :)
Great concept and take on the theme ... kinda had a hard time playing it tho... maybe i need more practice, let's just say it's challenging! Nice pixel art graphics!!

if u continue developing this (or next time), adding eye-candies (props/visuals) would improve it :D Good job man

Even though the design is nice clean, and simple, the gameplay is lacking any depth or interesting element. I though making the enemies fly would kill them. This is just not ready yet.
