Psychopaths by GammaS
Psychopaths is a game about changing shape to befriend the other shapes in our city, as they are under attack from psychopathic shapes (Yellow and Red shapes). You must lead them into your safe zone (Blue building) to protect them. The more shapes you collect the more points you score, shapes which have less sides and are slower give the most points. Having shapes following you give more points than when they are in the safe zone, so if you think you can keep your shapes from being eaten by the cannibalistic psychopaths then don't drop them off and keep them following you for extra points.
Controls:
WASD - Movement
Q - Shapeshift into a smaller shape
E - Shapeshift into a bigger shape
R - Release all of your followers when you are in the safe zone, to save them.
Instructions:
Change shape to make shapes of the same size follow you.
Keep your shapes away from psychopaths (Yellow and Red).
Take your shapes to the safe zone and release them. (Blue Building).
Get as much score as possible in the 2 minuets given.
16:9 or 16:10 resolution is recommend due to the title screen not scaling correctly, but it should still be functional.

- The yellow/red shapes move just as fast as I do and follow me ridiculously closely, making it impossible to rescue any more shapes
- The yellow/red shapes can go into the blue "safe" zones and eat everyone I've saved
Still, cool take on the theme--good job. :)
Otherwise, the name, concept, graphics, all play really nice together and make this a solid entry. :D
This a really cool little proof of concept. There's not a lot of interesting dynamic play (yet?), but I can "squint my eyes" (so to speak) and imagine something cool springing from this.
Great job, guys.
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
Cons : The game lags a lot, the ennemies are way faster than allies and there no feed back as to when you unbefriend a shape ( ie : it's a cube and I'm a cube so we're friends but then i change to triangle and sometimes the cube leave, sometimes not)
