Vehicle shifter by Titan

[raw]
made by Titan for LD35 (COMPO)
Welcome to my first compo entry!

Demo:
https://youtu.be/n9jAfT_nA84

Controls:
- W-S (or Z-S, or up-down) axis control the power output
- Q-D (or A-D, or left-right) axis control the balance
- press shift to shift between rocket and car shape!
* Some people prefer the car to move forward with right key and control the balance with up and down, check the bottom right checkbox to achieve that, but be aware that shifting to rocket become harder.
* You get a vertical impulse when you shift to rocket and an horizontal impulse when you shift to car, use them to beat your best score!

Leaderbord:
Setup a username to upload your best score and compare with other players!

Tools used:
- Level design and modeling with Unity and ProBuild plugin
- Online leaderboard with dreamlo (try it! http://dreamlo.com/)
- Sound with sfxr
- Texture with paint.net

Nice. Took a while to figure out the controls, the swap between car and rocket wasn't obvious =).

not obvious to control => not fun to play :-(

What a great game! And to implement a leader board the time is amazing.

This is one of my favourite games I have played so far. I played it for far too long and couldn鈥檛 get better than 28 seconds.

I should talk about some of the cool things like the good map design, the subtle lighting and the great 3 models. But I won鈥檛. 11/10 would rocket again.

Really great idea and fun, once you get the hang of the controls (which are quite difficult!)

pretty nice once you get the hang of it! the car's rotation was a bit too sensitive i think. i got 37 seconds.

Quite difficult! I took a while to learn how to play.
It's a nice game, and good work with the leaderboard.

Took a bit to learn to use the controls but once I got the hang of it it was pretty good fun. Better audio cold have created a really good mood to improve overall score I think. Good work.

Ha, another Car/Flying-machine game :-)

This may just be the heaviest rocket I've ever seen in a game or anywhere.

I like your visual style, the lighting works really well. The game itself seems to be even more difficult than my own!

Yes, this rocket is full of fuel :)
Check-out my blog if you want to know why everything finished like that: http://florian-noirbent.com/blog/en/vehicle-shifter/
basicly the rocket is slow to balance it with the car.

I like the graphics and I think the controls were good. For improvement, I would make a tutorial in game showing how shape shifting works, the controls, etc.

Nice concept, but levels could be more elaborated. However, it's a good entry with an enjoyable physics. Well done ++
