Agent Shapeshifter by Theseus101

[raw]
made by Theseus101 for LD35 (COMPO)
This is a game where you are agent Shapeshifter, who has the special ability to change his shape. The main goal of agent Shapeshifter is to complete as many missions as possible without dying, that is where is ability comes in. To blend in with the crowd he changes his shape, but if he matches his shape with the wrong crowd they will try to kill him. He also uses this method to complete his missions, which involve eliminating certain shapes.

Red Bar: wanted level, stay in a crowd or it will go up.
Yellow Bar: Stamina, used for sprinting.

Move your agent around with the left mouse button, shapeshift with the right mouse button, and sprint with shift.

Good Luck!

Nice concept. It took me a while to figure out what was going on and how to kill folks, and I had trouble with the controls so in the end I didn't manage to complete a mission :/ But I think it has potential and it could be fun with more polished controls. I also liked the bit of humor with the speech bubbles.
Regarding the controls, the fact that I don't have a real mouse (just a single button trackpad) didn't help, but also I wish you could press shift at any time to go faster (right now you have to press shift, THEN start moving), and that you knew what shape you were going to change into.

Originally, there were three kinds of people, they are not friends, and they know it well. So they stay away from each other and there were peace.... Until, one day, an adventurer....

this game could use some better instructions :(
It looks like fun, but I have no clue how I can eliminate targets.

Not bad. I liked the luring mechanics. It would be better if the game told me how far I am with my objective.

Did not really understand the controls or how I could eliminate anyone? When I shapeshift I'm just immediately killed.
