I press "W" for a bit. I start moving after some time. But when I let go, I keep moving in the same direction, even after changing where I look. Basically, I move like a spaceship.

Simple clear visuals. good controls. Challenging puzzles. Great voice-acting! :D mouse sensitivity was too slow, but you got settings for it. Overall really well made game. I guess you had some testing to do for the puzzles to be beatable in a certain way. After a while the words though start repeating if you get stuck to a puzzle or say same lines after you've heard it already. it can get bit repeating and overheard. And it's bit too often talking and breaking my concentration on the actual puzzle. After you're started playing you can't change settings? also it would be nice to turn the voice off if wanted, same with sounds and music. But those are minor things for a game made in this time-limit.

Welcome. I hope that you enjoy this virtual prison which we built for creatures like you - shapeshifters. Take your chance and let the world know what you're capable of!\r\n\r\nThis is my entry for the 35th LudumDare session - an abstract puzzle game. As a shapeshifter with extra sensorial capabilities, you would escape from a jail - acting with logic, pattern recognition, sequence solving. The player has an unlimited time so as to solve each level, but a limited unit energy number. I guess that it is not always easy to solve the enigma. As a tutorial, the five first levels explain all about the elementary mechanics in order to progress in the game. I hope that you enjoy. I used some interesting material shaders in order to dissolve\/recompose some colored artifacts. I focused on an aesthetic - something which is hypnotic, strange and pure. Please, try it and give me a feed back. I wish you the best ++\r\n\r\nBy developing this project, I used Unity 5 as usual, Gimp, SFXR, Balabolka and PowerSound (for FX on computer voice). Also I used LeanTween for smooth translation and alpha renderer...\r\n\r\nPS : for a reason that I cannot explain, the webGL export doesn't work properly. Sorry. For a better experience, I recommand you to download the game as a standalone application for Windows.\r\n\r\nI did today a video with all levels.","title":"BrainRequired"}
