VoxShiftRun by rfonseca

[raw]
made by rfonseca for LD35 (JAM)
Simple endless runner with voxel art.

Instructions:
Switch lanes and shapeshift to match the hole shape.

Controls:
Left and right arrow keys to switch lanes.
1: Shapeshift into cube
2: Shapeshift into pyramid
3: Shapeshift into cylinder

Still needs a lot of work. I couldn't dedicate all the time I wanted to it, and also a super annoying bug took away much time needed to work on other parts of the game.

It was my first Ludum Dare and I had a blast! Looking forward to the next one.

I'll keep working on this game as I think I can make it much more interesting, specially improving the graphics part.

Congrats for complete the game!!Maybe could be improved if you use a counter for success collitions, and reached some number, the box grows and shapeshift.

Simple game, but it looks quite nice actually. There should be a way to restart and keep score though!

Finishing and posting your first jam game is always a great step! Hope you keep working on it! :)

The concept is really nice, still has some polish to do, counters and etc., but you've got an idea and made it here! It fits well with the shapeshifting theme, so you nailed it! :)

The cubed look is always something I like in games, if you can polish things more and work more on this game, I'd like to see how would you expand on it. :)

Good work! Cheers! :D

Neat concept, but I don't see the point in having 2 ways to avoid the obstacles. My recommendations: Add some driving music; Make the obstacles speed up overtime; remove 2 lanes and keep it to one and use the transforming ability to progress.

It's a good start, for a first LD ! Dealing with recalcitrant bugs is part of this competition, and I know what I say. Keep on trying, I would like to see what you can do at next LD. :D

It was easier to dodge left and right to avoid the blocks, but congrats on your first jam.

Nice job getting this done! Could have used some more polish but it holds together well! Good job!

Thank you all for your comments and advices!

I'm currently working on the game, basically I'm starting it from scratch taking in account your opinions about it.

I'm taking my time making sure that the camera and the lighting work well, as it's the two areas where I still have some difficulties. But hey, nothing that some training and testing won't solve.

I'll let you guys know about how the development is going in few weeks I hope.
