o Every character has unique dialogue for each of your shapeshifting forms!
o Unique side quests like platforming challenges await you wile you run against the clock to complete your mission!
o A fully interactive tutorial that teaches you everything you need to know.
o A soundtrack of 3 songs invoking the feel of a seedy space port.
- SYNOPSIS -
In the far reaches of Sector C, the spacecraft Calvino makes an emergency pit stop for repairs and refueling at a spaceport high above the surface of Vlaskov IV.
Unbeknownst to the citizens in this seedy hive of intergalactic trade and back-alley deals, the Calvino is on a secret journey across the sector in search of Andari Prime, the homeworld of the Andari Empire.
Dwindling in number due to persecution and sport-hunting, the Andari are commonly referred to among other species as “Morphers,” due to their ability to assume the form of whomever they eat.
As a newly metamorphosized Andari, you’ve narrowly escaped imprisonment and certain death and taken refuge as a new recruit aboard the Calvino.
You begin the search for home with your compatriots, who will rely on your most recently consumed abilities to make your stay above Vlaskov IV as swift as possible.
- YOUR GOAL -
Collect at least 100 C.Credits and talk to the captain to escape the space port and fly back home to Andari. Need a challenge? Try finding more than 100 and tell us how much you managed to find!
- CONTROLS -
WASD/Arrows: To move the character.
Spacebar: To jump and confirm.
1,2,3: To shape shift into other aliens.
Shift: To use the special ability of each alien.
Mouse: To move the mouse.
- WHO ARE WE? -
Fabraz is behind games like Planet Diver, Cannon Crasha, Wild Wild Pixel and our previous Ludum Dare game Mutiny on Samovar V.
- NOTES -
o We are EXHAUSTED! Making this in 3 days was intense, we certainly aimed for a large scope. We didn't manage everything and there's polish needed, but we're quite content with what we managed! :)
o Performance slow? Play on low quality settings and a lower resolution.
o Found bugs? It's a game jam, wouldn't be same without!

o Sped up Livestream: Coming soon!

Well, at least I collected most of the money.
I like the graphic style (it reminds me the first 3D games of the 90's). The music is really good and the concept is cool.
The camera moves to much quickly, maybe?
I didn't liked that you could get stuck to the walls really easy while jumping in the human form.
Would be cool if your sprite flip if you move right or left, but it's a minor detail for a LD game.
Thumbs up, keep working!

Well played !
After you get used to the camera controls the game is pretty awesome. My only complaint was that I would want my camera inverted (I won't hold that against you). Overall awesome!
@taviandir Have you tried playing on low settings with a low resolution? It doesn't suffer from that too much visually and can make quite the difference performance wise.
I had fun time playing this game. It got a little tedious at the platforms but I managed to finish the game.
I think what got me to stick around the most was the graphics. They're real nice! I also liked the tutorial, easy to understand and wasn't tedious. Just simple and straight as it should be!
Overall, great!
Also - remember to delete the .pdb files next time as they're not needed and increases the download time.
By the way, buttons on the pause UI doesn't work
I think if you had reigned your game in a bit conceptually, it could have been more polished, but what you accomplished is still very impressive, and you should all feel great about this.
