LudumData

CubeShift by JangoBrick

[raw]
made by JangoBrick for LD35 (COMPO)
In this game, you'll find yourself moving a blue cuboid through parcour-like levels. Your movements are limited to your current orientation. Moreover, the orientation changes with each move, leading to the shift in shape.

I worked on this for about 12 hours only, unfortunately I don't have much time on sunday.

EDIT: I did find some time today and ADDED 4 MORE LEVELS!

By the way, there's mobile support! So if you want to play on your smartphone or tablet, just visit the web link on there and it should work out of the box.

Cool music and the mechanics and graphics are really nice. It becomes intuitive very quickly.

My total score was 280.5. The last level got me for sure (I won't give any hints on how to solve it) but excellent job! My only suggestion would be to add a level number on the "Score/try again" page. The music fit the game perfectly!!!

Damn I really love this gameplay! With a lot more levels and a lot more baddies/different blocs this game could be a real success on mobile devices! Great job!

This game is phenomenal. The graphics, music, and idea is outstanding! Good job. I don't think that it would fit into the theme. But it has shapes!

Smooth visuals and audio. Like it. But oh man, it is so short. Also, it is a bit counter intuitive that you can pass through red block when it is moving.

Nice game, more levels would be awesome, but then I understand the time limitations...

Really like the music. Game concept is nice, too bad it's only 6 short and easy levels.
Could have been a nice stretch of puzzling time like for example bloxorz.

THANKS for all your lovely early feedback! I added 4 more levels due to popular request since the compo isn't over yet!

And please don't forget to come back and vote later on.

Great take on the theme! Feels like a regular puzzle game at first but the moving cube make it really challenging as it adds timing to the mix. Good stuff!

intersting mechanics, interesting level from a simple idea.

it's a great little puzzle game, i did find the controls and the alternating pattern a bit awkward to manage but it does add another layer to the puzzle aspect of it, well done, also the i love the way you can almost use the rhythm to help you phase through the blocks at the right time.

Really nice! Not sure it did much on the theme as the shape wasn't hugely important and more of feedback of where to move next, which could actually just be an arrow?

Brilliant though and great music and clean look, rated high!

What a nice looking game. The graphics are really clean. Music might need a bit of work though...
I love these kinds of games until they get too hard. This one didn't :D
Nice concept and good levels. Good work!

Overall nice and polished game. Clean and simple style, got variety of elements and potential to improvement. Good joob.

score 469.
I got to say, once I "got" it about going through the blocks even as they move into you, it opened up and really enjoyed it.

Very very interesting concept though not sure how it fits with the theme. I could see people playing this on mobile if done right and with lots of levels.

Very nice, kudos :)

Nice mechanics and really clean graphics. I completed it and liked it a lot !
The music is not bad but gets quickly a bit annoying :/

Nice. Very simple concept, well implemented, fun and enough of a challenge. Would be interesting to see what levels you would come up with given more time.

Loved the music and the eye pleasing graphics. Am elegant puzzle game. You should had more level after the compo. I could see this being a hit on mobile phones!

Made it to level 7, but got stuck between a block and the walls. Other than that, great game!

20. Apr 2016 · 06:31 UTC
I like the smooth and minimal style! It's quite hard until you realize you can pass right thru red blocks so long as they are moving. I think the game would be improved if that mechanic were made more obvious.

The first I played, I got stuck (without the "you are stuck" message) on one of the early levels and had to restart, but the second attempt went much better! Really cool idea for character movement, I'm surprised how much you have to think careful about what route you can take.

I tested it on smartphone.

Cool mechanics and fun gameplay which I have never seen before. Music was very weird, but I like it. The way you focused on the theme is unusual. Well done ++

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

This is really neat ! Only thing I found weird is being able to go through other blocks. This feels a bit counterintuitive and it is hard to time the moves correctly when several blocks are moving. Great job anyway !
