S.D.A: Shapeshift Detection Agency by zacerhy

[raw]
made by zacerhy for LD35 (COMPO)
--- PLEASE PLAY ON 1366 x 788 IF DOWNLOADING ---

(otherwise my UI will be wonky :/)

This is my first solo entry to Ludum Dare, for LD35. The theme was shapeshifting and after struggling for a while to think of anything cool, I decided to make a sort of memory test game where you have to identify the shapeshifter by remembering facts about somebody. The game is pretty quick and easy but it's more a proof of concept than anything.

Don't have build options for Mac/Linux at the moment, if I figure it out I'll update!

Ask me questions at @Zacerhy on Twitter :)

HEATHEN! HEAAATHHEN! BURN THE WITCH!

In seriousness, the soundtrack is glorious, and it's a very novel take on the memory game - I'm gonna continue playing for a bit :D

The jokes in here are very good <3

I like the idea. The text could be a bit quicker to display, but maybe this intensifies the experience. Unfortunately, I really suck at memory games :-)

Thanks tomdeal, I agree the text is slow, I can quite easily speed it up and maybe I should have. Thanks for playing!

Thanks FloatingGhost, surely nobody actually eats crumpets without toasting them though

Overall, a good entry. The soundtrack is nice and fits the mood, and there are some nice jokes in there. The main mechanic isn't exceptionally fun or interesting, but the mood and jokes make up for it.

I liked it! Good writing, I like how as it goes on you have to internalize the meaning of the profile more and more. I would have liked it if you didn't have to reset if you fail one though.

The graphics for the various people didn't load in the web build, but otherwise the experience was full and charming. At first I was afraid of a fairly cookie-cutter memory game, but slight wordplay made the thinking a little more critical and likewise, the game more enjoyable.

I really like this! Nice twist with the theme and the memory game genre. Nice profiles, by the way. haha
I found loosing too much punitive, since I had to restart all over and the profiles aren't random. Which leads to another suggestion that when you turn this concept into a mobile game (which you will, right?): randomize the profiles notes, so every run it's different. Awesome entry!
