Downhillin' Shapeshiftin' by IHateATMFees

[raw]
made by IHateATMFees for LD35 (JAM)
A challenging shape roller game. Shapeshift into other shapes by hitting the yellow shapes. Hit a red shape that does not match your current player shape, and it's game over.

CONTROLS
========================
Controller (recommended): Left Stick = move, A button = jump
Keyboard: Arrows/WASD = move, Space = jump
(Windows version: Esc exits the game)

Made by a team of one. Please let me know what you think! Would love to see your times if you finish the course.

Nice game. It's difficult, but it works well and it's fun.

"Rolling" as non-sphere shapes felt awkward, but overall well done.

Nice idea, really unforgiving though - I had some solid fun with this, but could never quite finish the whole course.

Some sound would really kick this up a notch, as would bringing up the non-boosted speed a bit - but the core of the game here is really solid.

I like the difficulty, though it got frustrating at times due to no one on earth having that kind of reaction time. Also found out that for most of the first half I could just camp the wall and ride it out hahaha. Still, solid game, and great graphics.

Great physics and controls! The movement was really smooth and the graphics were great! It was a bit challenging... I haven't been able to get past that two rows of cones so far... Fits the theme really well.

Really solid mechanics, maybe make the non boosting speed a little faster but a great game!

It took some getting used to and the jumps were difficult for me to time, but I enjoyed it. Good job.

It felt like it needed to go a lot faster at times as it occasionally got quite lethargic. Graphics could use a bump but certainly don't look bad. Nicely done.

The concept is great and the graphics are quite intuitive! I think a good improvement would be making the ball more easy to manage (Maybe without physics)

Keep up the good work! :)

When your are not a sphere, it seems a little buggy. The game is fast, dificult and funny. It remembered me to AudioSurf.
Nice entry.

Challenging game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/IgqbHpL7wxo
