Xenoshift by meek
Xenoshift Is classic top-down game, where 4 crew members have boarded a ship that's host to a Shapeshifting alien. The alien has the ability to morph into any inanimate object on the ship.
It's up to you to find the Alien before the ship self-destructs.
GOOD LUCK.

I retried 5 times, and still couldn't kill the alien - even though he was always in the same room. At one point, I shot at it, it ran into a corner and disappeared, then I shot in the corner, and it attacked from behind me! It's too painful to be enjoyable, in my opinion.
I will acknowledge that the art and audio were both on point. Nice work too, putting this together in 3 days.
The sounds also, really nice. Little "Where the hell is it" when you're near your crew made a difference!
Great job! :D
I enjoyed the game overall, though I felt that it may have made the game a little easier if you had a chance to shoot the alien when it charged at you, even if it was a slim one.
However the mechanic with the motion tracker is a bit unclear, and sometimes the alien has kind of an unfair advantage, at one point i had found an object, thought its was the alien, but when i shot the alien was in fact another one separated by a wall and just passed through it to kill me :/
The game still has some great qualities, with a bit of tweaking it can be a awesome game, i really liked the Aliens feel and the marine squad representing your extra lives.
a good job overall :)
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
