ShapeQuest by Penthaquill

[raw]
made by Penthaquill for LD35 (JAM)
This game contains a bit of my soul and sick Ai!

Play as our hero:
The cube of honor!
The circle of hope!
The mighty triangle of somewhat good courage!

-How to play-
WASD to move!
Fit the shapes in their respective hole!
Try not to get shot by the not-so-evil RED cube!

It took me a while to understand what I had to do ^^
Is it normal that the game does not restart with the square when you get killed by the not-so-evil red cube? :)

Yeah that's quite normal :^) I was also worried at first so i went to the doctor but the doctor said it was just bad game design :) Thanks for the feedback! xoxo

Add more to it! It could be a very good game.maybe add rounds, or how long can you survive!!! I really do love it, just super short!

Too simple and too short. I liked the music though. :)

Little funny game. Just need to add more levels/enemies and it will be pretty much complete. Gj! :)

I mean, it's a simple game, very little going on etc.
I'm not entirely sure how you structured your AI, since it was very easy for me to force the red square in a position where it had a clear view of me but didn't fire (it was stuck against a wall and unable to move towards me, but I was next to it).

Death is insubstantial. It doesn't reset your progress or move you back.

With some fundamental pathfinding ('if player_pos is in a given rectangle of the screen, move to set position that can aim into that rect'), about a dozen more enemies, and randomly spawning objectives this might have been a bit more fun.

The game is 30 seconds long, if it was a bit longer it would have potential. Cool music tho.

Pretty fun but too short and easy. Always leave them wanting more I guess. Well done!

That was quick :)
More levels would've been nice
I think the gameplay could be developed further

The limited AI made the game somewhat easy, hope you didn't lose too much of your soul on it :)

Also a bit confusing how your entry is called ShapeQuest but the file is Shapeshifting.

I enjoyed the light hearted experience

This was fun, but the visuals could have been better. Is it normal that the game does not restart with the square when you get killed by the red cube?

Its too short. I think its a good idea, it could be a good game, only need more levels.

May be a little short and the graphics could be a little more polished, but great music, though! plus: I do like your humor :)

It seems to be the first level of a puzzle game.
It can become something good with some other mechanics.
Not bad for a start :)

I tried to find something worse, to do so was harder than the game itself.. Not very good at all, epic music though! :D

I like the idea, but it could really use more levels, and maybe some more different enemies :)

Haha got it ;D Nice idea... very minimalistic but very funny in some way :) It took me under one minute... i think between 30 and 50 seconds... Hope you'll release some dlc's soon :)

Pretty short but it does have some potential even though the red cube's AI was ridiculously aggressive (Actually managed to complete this without losing any lives on my 3rd go).
