Everlessly Shaping by EverlessDrop41

[raw]
made by EverlessDrop41 for LD35 (COMPO)
Web, Mac and Windows are all available on the itch.io link

I decided to go with a rather unoriginal idea, but make it polished and complete as before my attempts had an interesting play on the theme but always ended up but incomplete or broken, plus I had less time due to schoolwork.

My idea was a game in which you could control multiple shapes. Each shape could move, jump scale and rotate. After some testing I decided to remove rotation as a) it was buggy and b) I couldn't think of a way to use it.

Later on I decided to add an energy system, this meant that every action cost some energy, and without that energy you can't 'shapeshift'

Due to time issues I was only able to complete 3 levels and I am disapointed that I could not add more levels with more interesting uses. I am considering doing my first post mortem, although I will likely forget :D

Pretty good game, the polish definitely makes it worth while. The puzzles were quite clever and I definitely like the size changing mechanic.

Wow, this really felt polished!
I suggest that you continue building on this and release it.

you should make a more full version of this idea, it's not bad, i btw like how the cube kinda rolls when it hits a wall/switch.
I disliked the energy though but it could make for some interesting hard levels if you made those that is.

super short but the mechanics are solid, wish there was more time to see what kind of levels you design

I would have liked to play this a lot longer! Really well finished feel. The physics/getting stuck on the wall is a bit annoying. Music is super simple, but works for the length of the game. Try to hone your skills and you'll have a great game next time. :)

Hey,

I really like the puzzle elements. The controls could've used some finetuning because its was hard to jump sometimes.

The energy system is a bit annoying when you have to wait for it to recharge. That you need energy to jump higher is pretty cool though!
