Changelings by aeai

[raw]
made by aeai for LD35 (COMPO)
The changelings are migrating! Help them reach the end of the level to win. Instruct them to shapeshift to other forms to pass obstacles. If you ever played Lemmings you will know what to do:)

########## Instructions ################

- Controls with the mouse, you can use space for pause.
- If enough changeling make it to the end of the level(orange hallway like thingy), you win!

Nice looking game, the controls are very difficult, but once you get used the game become great.

Tried to run it on web, but the character sprites would not load. I thought I might give you the heads up. :)

I didn't get the control straight away, but once I did they seemed obvious. I think the first level was a bit difficult but the game was really nice ! :D

The web version isn't working for me. Level loads, but no changelings are ever seen.

Hi guys, thank you all the feedback! It seems like the game web version have some compatibility problems with some browsers(i tried it in both Firefox and Chrome and it worked fine), please if the Changelings don't spawn for you tell me what kind of browser you use. In the meanwhile if the web version not working you always can try the standalone one:) Thanks:)

Lemmiiiiiingsss!!!! :):) I loved that game! Kudos for making this in a compo edition! Good job!

My only complaint is that in my explorer tab it says LD33 instead of 35 :P

Keep up the good work ;)

Cool game and graphs! At the beggining is quite difficult to know how to use the controls. I think that it could be great with some music and sound effects!!

People reporting that something is wrong with the web version, dunno, for me everything goes well. Back to the game- it's great and fresh, love seeing people keep experimentation with uncommon mechanics. Thumbs up from me here. =)

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

Nice one! Graphics are fun and the levels were challenging. A little too hard to control though. Would have liked the actions mapped to keys, and a reset button.

Cool. A derivative of lemmings but still appropriate for the theme (woulda read better for the theme if the blobs actually had a sprite change)

needed more levels and a "speed up" power for once the puzzle is solved.

The first thing I thought when I saw the screenshots was "Lemmings!", so you definitely get points for the graphics. Such an obvious use of the theme that I can't believe you're the only one I've seen to do it! I had a lot of fun with this, but got completely stuck on the tree level because I ran out of stoppers. Would have been great to have some sound which evoked Lemmings in the same way as the graphics, but I imagine with all the work this must have taken you just ran out of time. Really good work! :)

Fun game! nice interpretation of the theme. Add some sound, a reset button and a level selection menu and it could be a complete game. I enjoyed the strategy element.

A fun take on the classical Lemmings! The pixel art is really nice.

As has been mentioned by others, a "mass bomb" button (or just a level reset) would be a nice convenience addition :)

Web version didn't work for me. Java was fine. Fun game and Quite enjoyed it. Certainly echos Lemmings on the Amiga. Thanks.

Old good lemmings. Love the graphics, expect the font. Controls are hard, using laptop keyboard it takes a while to the button and then to the changelings. Do the buttons have keyboard shortcuts? Bit frustrating. But after you get it, it works but really have to be careful not to mess up.

Very cool entry, loved the lemmings-like mechanics and how you adapted them to the theme. Graphics were good, and I'm kinda sad there was no sound :(

Solid entry, good luck!
