I also never realizes which order you changed the shape in. I would have preferred to have two different states changing between two shape with one button or 3 states with 3 different buttons. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>otherwise I like it a lot, got 90 points with a game pad :)"},{"author_name":"MayankUnreal","author_uid":"90244","time":"Apr 24, 2016 @ 9:15am","epoch":1461489000,"text":"Its a bit hard in beginning but its real fun after that.

This is my first time doing Ludum Dare and I'm surprised with the results!\r\n\r\nAnd boy! This contest is an amazing experience!\r\nI may have neglected voting and checking out other games and I apologize for that! ><\"\r\n\r\nHowever, my personal goal was achieved! I managed to complete this entry and get some reviews and opinions by you wonderful people! I truly appreciate that~\r\n\r\nI look forward to the next LD (and hope to be more active for the next one)\r\n\r\n++++++++++++++++\r\nHere's my first Ludum Dare attempt 'x')\/\r\n\r\nI was kinda lost at first and I feel that I wasted some time but.\r\n\r\nOverall considering I tried to do something in 2 days (Seriously people, you guys are the MVP here >w<)b )\r\n\r\n\r\nNow, about the game.\r\n\r\nWhen it said Shapeshift I instantly thought of Basic Shapes. So the player can change his state between 3 forms.\r\n\r\nWhat that does? It allows you to collect other \"coins\" and pass through the current color bullets.\r\n\r\nI wanted to make the change more distinct so there's the Sound Effect, Animation (well... not the greatest but...) and Music being affected by that.\r\nOh! and the music! I really need to work in that department... It took more than I thought producing it.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLudum Dare is a awesome experience and I do recommend people try it someday! Just be aware that it isn't a walk in the park developing games in a short time ><\" \r\n\r\nHopefully you enjoy it! (And post the points in the comments if you want 'x')","title":"ShapeDodger"}
