Avoid enemies and obstacles, except if you shapeshift into something that can protect you.\r\n\r\nYou're a shapeshifter biker, all alone in a desolated world, chased by angry ducks in black trucks. To escape, you need to collect all the Animal Powers scattered across the land, in mysterious blue boxes.\r\n\r\nOnce you collect an Animal Power, you can shapeshift into that Animal for 10 seconds maximum. Some animals destroy enemies, some are invulnerable, some are scary, some can ride through lava, other can fly, some are invisible, and other are, well, surprising. Once you've acquired at least one power, you can't remain shaped as a biker for long and will be randomly assigned a new shape every 15 seconds.\r\n\r\nThere are 20 different animals to collect, will you catch them all ?\r\n\r\nNote : Due to a bug in Unity (apparently), the gamepad controls may be messed up in the Web version. I'd suggest downloading either the PC or Mac build as the game really runs poorly on the web in comparison, but in any case, if you decide to play on the web, play with your keyboard, not your gamepad.\r\n\r\nMusic by my band, Uniform Motion. \r\nSpecial thanks to Andy for the songs that kept me motivated during these 3 days, to Karine for the ideas, to Julien for his help tracking a few pesky bugs, and to the cool people at Motion Twin for letting me join them for the weekend.<\/p>","title":"Shapeshifter Biker"}
