Polygon War by SmallPhil

[raw]
made by SmallPhil for LD35 (COMPO)
Polygon War is a twin-stick shooter I made for Ludum Dare!

You can use the green things to transform in another shape with different abilities.

It turned out way cooler than I expected it to, so I'd say my ludum dare experience went well!

This is a fantastic game! It's hard, but not too hard. The controls are tight as well. I like the animations of the objects, they're all very clean. Nice work! :)

The game is really fun to play after you get the controls.

The controls take a bit of getting used to, but after that it looks nice and is a neat game!

This is amazing. I'm reminded of classic games like Asteroids when I play it. It runs very smoothly as well, and the simplistic graphics are very pleasing.

Took a little bit to figure out the controls. Is there a way to fire with the keyboard? I hooked up an xbox controller and then things came together. Nice little twin stick shooter. Really liked the visual style. Well done :)

man, this felt great to play. The minimalist aesthetic made everything really easy to parse, so I could just focus on moving and shooting, which was delightfully satisfying. Great work!

Love the minimalism. The look and feel are pleasing and I love the behavior of the circle that slams into the wall. Would love an increasing difficulty version!

Fun game! I really like the visual style. I wasn't totally clear on what the green shape changing did for my advantage, but then it made my guns faster and spread more. The audio feels nice and punchy too. Good work! :)

Neatly done! Reminded me of playing games on a Vic 20. I played it with keyboard, but I guess the controls would have been smoother with a controller or a classic joystick (if they even exist nowadays). It wasn't super obvious what the distinct abilities were so adding some text or icon UI somewhere to indicate what you just acquired would have been nice. Really good entry though.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

That was pretty solid. I really liked the crisp vector font, by the way. -- Way easier to play with a joystick than without, had some fun but the gameplay got a bit repetitive / actionless after a while. -- One hit kits with visual shields might have spiced things up...

I really like what I get to see and hear. Alas, I can't play this because I don't have a arrow keys on my keyboard :(
My xbox360 controller works on the menu but not on the game itself...
