V for Virus by fafastudio

[raw]
made by fafastudio for LD35 (JAM)
In a world ruled by machines, you're hosting a living organism, one of the "Human Machine" which now populate the world.

What if you used this opportunity to bring some REVOLUTION to this non-changing et insipid society ?

But please take care to not let the virus possess you, or at least, not entirely ...


W A S D : Movements, Menus
Space Bar : Shot, Select
=> The mouse does not work on the game


This game is a shooter based on the Main Character shapeshifting.
As you lose all of your health points, you are being more and more overtaken until you finally die.

LOVE this! I wasn't sure how shapeshifting applied at first but then I died - and I realized. It feels really cool transitioning. I also love the music!

Wow!! That virus is awesome. I love the music - I believe that it changes as the character changes? Very cool.

I had a lot of fun playing this! It's addictive because I want to beat my own scores, haha. I liked the design of the monsters too! Cool game!

Nice twist on a familiar genre.

Minor nitpick: it's a little confusing that the menu can't be controlled with the mouse.

Love the music and the transition to new forms upon death!

Did think that the game was bugging out for me on the menu though, not having the buttons able to be mouse clicked was a little confusing

Really nice.
Great music and awesome art. The gameplay was also fun and challenging. The only problem I had is after palying for a while it starts lagging - something is probably not being destroyed off screen and accumulates over time.
But all in all it's a great game.

Good job for your game !

The empower feeling when shapeshifting is very cool, but since it happens when you start to lose it makes you wondering if you really wanted it ^^

Very cool graphics too, specially the hero transformations.

Only need some more different enemys and it would be really addicting.

Nice job !

Everytime you die, you become stronger.Maybe give mutants some disadvantage?

I was thinking where was the shapeshifting thingy... then IT HAPPENED! Nice concept, even though the controls are a bit tough.

Nice concept. Simple and funny game. Fits theme as well. Congratulations.

Great idea, also good executed. Would also have gone excellent with the theme "Dying benefits you" or what that was called.

Music might be slightly annoying, but great job!

The mouse not controlling the menu confused me for a while, but after that the game was really fun.
It would have been better if enemies turned red / had some sort of hit indication though.

Excellent game, I got totally hooked until the end and I tried to do my best

The music was perfect, it even sounded like a tune that danny baranowski would have made in the final stage of transformation.
And every time it has put the right mood !
The graphics were cool, my only problem was the menu that didn't seem to respond properly, but since I could play the game, I don't care that much (but it would be important if you planned to continue)

One of my favorite game so far

Wow, I loved the way as the music changed with the shape of the main character, great idea!

Curiously, I had the impression that I was controlling the final Boss of the game haha

At begin I was trying to use the mouse, before read about it doesn't work, but this doesn't affect the gameplay

Great game and job guys! ;D

Like the lasers and shapeshifting concept!
Somehow reminds me of Ultraman though.

Very nice use of theme! Music was great, I loved the background graphics, and even the mutant forms of your player character were charmingly adorable :)

This game reminded me of Dragon Ball, defeat only makes you stronger!

Tight controls, excellent music and perdy grfx. Nice one! :P

The music is what really sells it I think! Really cool :)
Had some problem with the menu at first, it controllable with the mouse but you can't use the mouse buttons to confirm your choice :/

* Game starts *
"Well, this requires some serious skill. I guess it's ok."
...
"Looks like I'm pretty much dead."
* Shapeshifted *
"Wow, second chance? Nice idea."
* Shapeshifted again *
"SHOOP DA WHOOP"
* Shapeshifted again *
"Seriously? Nope, I'm done"
* Finally died *
xD

Jokes aside. The graphics was nice. Music is good to. Good job!

Really good, with a very good twist.
Maybe it will be a good idea to add levels, and diferent ending depending of how "monstruous" you become.

The idea of becoming stronger after after dying is great. Destroying everything with a big laser beam is fun :D Nice entry!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
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

Great fun! Like the art and the music was pretty good too. You seriously need to fix the mouse thing though! Its very confusing.
