LudumData

Changeling Infiltration Simulator by ProjectX593

[raw]
made by ProjectX593 for LD35 (COMPO)
You are a Changeling. Infiltrate and steal valuable data by taking the form of anyone you find.

Move with WASD

Approach someone and click them to absorb their shape. They will not notice.
Press E to shapeshift into their form.
Click on green highlighted objects to distract people and disable sensors.

Remember:

Don't run into sensors. They can always see through your disguise.
Dont shapeshift in front of anyone.
Dont let someone see you in their form!
Don't be seen anywhere your form doesn't have access.

NOTE about the web version:
The buttons broke, and only the text displays. I had to change it from grey to white since it was otherwise unreadable. If you'd rather click on fancy buttons instead of boring old text, try the windows/mac/linux version!

Great idea. Really innovative. A few missing graphics with the web version.

Rebuilt the web version with no changes whatsovever. The mechanic is no longer a black square and the buttons are no longer missing. Programming is fun! ^_^

Really fun! The controls felt a bit floaty for a stealth game, but I like the artwork and animations.

Awesome. It's like a stealth puzzle game. A little slow though and could use some music.

really well done - great idea for using the theme - top notch - controls could be tighter but that's being picky - great job

Cool concept. Some visible vision cones or radii would help with the dificulty

Good job on the theme. Some more ingame indicators would be very helpful though :)

Nice! It would be great to replay the current mission when you fail. I keep getting sent back to the first level.

Really well done! Fun to play, good mood. Just missing some great music to finish the atmosphere :).

Liked the use of the theme and the way you turned the changing forms into a puzzle game. Made it interesting to learn about the different forms and how they can get you further in the levels.

Really loved this little puzzle game. Very on theme. Great escalation of puzzles. Only issue was distinguishing 2 of the colours (gold & green?) for a colour-blind person such as myself.

@mike.cullingham - Ah crap, I didn't think about that - I'll try to choose better colors next time!

Not many puzzle-like games related to the theme, surprisingly. As a fan of stealth, the game was a lot of fun, but I could use a bit more information, like enemy view-circles and stuff.

Very cool game, the gameplay was exactly the gameplay I sought when I tried to create my game for the Ludum Dare 35. Nice work!

Really compelling gameplay, I was hooked. Only problem is the NPCs have perfect, 180 degree long-range vision, which is both implausible and frustrating. Great game though, looks great and has a variety of increasingly difficult challenges.

Very nice work.

It took me a while to realise that you actually become people, not just take the same appearance.

Sweet compo entry. Aesthetics were pretty eye-candy, the clever "stealth-puzlle" mechanics are well put together so the game is pretty engaging. Enjoyed playing it and played until I finished it.
