J is for Triangle by SwedishCheese

[raw]
made by SwedishCheese for LD35 (COMPO)
J is for Triangle is a very simple high score oriented game. You have to shift between different shapes in order to pick up the corresponding small shapes. Wrong shape and you lose health.

WASD or Arrow keys for movement; JKL for shapeshift; R to restart.

There's no music or sound because lazy. Everything was created within Flowlab.io and to access the code you just have to open up the game in editor mode. Editor mode should be available by pressing Esc when in game.

I tweaked the game so that all the shapes bounce more. Might elimenate those problems but the game might also be more difficult right off the bat.

Simple but interesting concept :) It reminds me to "Colourless" a rythm game for android. Congrats!

Nice mechanic! I think it could be improved with some further balancing, but so far it was very enjoyable! Nice entry!

Got 54, and before that almost exactly the same. Seems like there's a risk of hitting a difficulty knee where everything suddenly gets exponentially harder.

I like the gameplay though! The feeling of hunting around a morphing playfield looking for areas of "good" shapes is nice. It's just a little bit too chaotic and unforgiving right now, but maybe that's due to the framerate and controls being somewhat sluggish. Could even see this kind of game being played with the mouse.

Seems like there should be an automatic extra innovation point for any entry that doesn't use circles, boxes and triangles for shape tokens ;)
