Need for Shift by aemiliu5

[raw]
made by aemiliu5 for LD35 (JAM)
Make your way through numerous obstacles by means of jumping, altering gravity and breaking stuff along the way! Each obstacle requires you to transform into a different shape which has its own unique ability. The circle can jump, the square can alter gravity and the triangle can break specific obstacles.

Can you make it to the end?

Controls:
[Tab] / [Shift]: Shapeshift (Tab: previous shape/Shift: next shape)
[Space]: Jump/Reverse Gravity
---
[Esc]: Main Menu
[R]: Reset Game (after a loss)
[P]: Pause

very good man, i really enjoyed it. one thing, it would have been a bit better for us to be able to skip the tutorial, but other than that. the game worked very well! keep it up man :)

Very cool with the layered music, really nice touch! Good take on the theme as well!

I think the controls to change shape was a little confusing, perhaps a button per shape (1, 2, 3) would feel better! But overall I enjoyed it very much!

Great music and very challenging, with a little more work can be a full game, Congratulations! (Music is really cool)

Really cool game! I loved how the music stars slow and gets faster. Good work!

Yeah cool game, I like how everything is using the same control set up and the context changes.

Wow, this is hard!

I recommend changing the keys for shape shifting to something more logical, maybe Arrow Key left and right, and 1,2,3.

Realllly nice audio! Keeping going further. The controls are a bit confusing and 1 2 3 would have been really better! But I was getting better try after try and reached the second checkpoint. Will definitely keep playing it until I beat it!

I don't really like the music, but gameplay is indeed fun and challenging.

love the building music!
it very difficult and even more so since you have to play tough the tutorial every time.
the explosion when you die doesn't really fit the ascetics xD but I loved it nonetheless:)

Very good game ! I could not leave game without hear all music :), nice challenging and nice idea to change gravity and destroy obstacle.

Fun mechanic and great match with music and game! Good job.

Sadly I couldn't go over 25%...

It'd be more fun if you could shapeshift with 1,2,3 keys or at least left and right arrow, also my crappy laptop prefers Fastest graphics, this game didn't need all those shader routines running I don't think. It got real laggy real fast.
