Sub Dragon by deepnight
VERY IMPORTANT: use the shape freezing mechanic (hold SPACEBAR)!!! It's essential :)
Using a XBOX controller is recommended.
------
SUBDRAGON is a shooter inspired by Saint Dragon on Atari ST. Your ship has 2 sides: the white one (left) is invulnerable and can stop enemy bullets. The red one is heavily armed but very fragile!
Move around like a snake, change shape and use both sides wisely to eradicate every opponents! :)

Cool graphics and impressive result as usual!
I found this entry to be a lot more difficult than your past ones, but had no less fun trying. Good luck!
This is full of challenging to me, I like the idea of freezing shape, it's fun when changing the strategy from attacking to defending.
Good job!
Considering that we're talking about a compo game, that's impressive (it could easily rival with the bet entries on the jam, too).
I'm terrible at it, but I've had a lot of fun so far.
Brilliant job!
The sound design is perfect too. Congrats !!
Water art is beautiful, gameplay very polish, music nice too
5\5 stars in all
I played on Windows FireFox. On Chrome, the black window appeared but the rest of the game did not load.
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
In fact, the last 2 ludumdares you didn't release source, which is part of the rules..

Creative approach to shape shifting! Good combination with shooter game
the final challenge's second part(upward area to island) ,i found that i could runsh direclty up-ward, and then clear the part-1 area enemies! (very exiciting!) although this final part really hard but also give me so deep impression ! well done and this entry worth high vote!
(btw, flying like a snake feels very great!)
Very well executed without being too high concept. Thats the nice thing about video games being associated with a style of 8 or 16 bit art-- all the early games needed to have recognizable characters with such a limited resolution... so you can tell me "ok you're a snake whose red side shoots lasers and whose white side absorbs rockets and bullets" and I'll be like "yeah, ok lets do this."
Nice tutorial too.
Very very well executed from conception to implementation.
