The windows version did run in wine, didn't show any text though.
I liked the fact that you could 'learn' knew things to shift into, and that it helped you if you got caught a fair bit.
Great game!
Would imagine how it would expand to more decors
although I see a challenge in the possible confusion
so maybe moving into other environments than houses
(where it's perfectly suitable for most cases to be either a chair or a sink)
and if you decided to stick with houses then then the decor style can be included (you can't put an aluminium chair in a Victorian classic study room)
but then again that might cause confusion (except for interior designers maybe )
Good game overall, it was short though .
As for your trouble with shift, I'd bet that you are not holding the shift button long enough. The sound effects for holding shift are a bit misleading, which has been confusing people. You need to keep holding it until a +1 appears.
It would be really nice to have keyboard shortcuts for transformations.
It could have been more awesome if the font used were also pixel-themed for consistency...
Level design and AI sophistication is dope!! NICEONE :D
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
