Minimal Shifting by AlbertoSM

[raw]
made by AlbertoSM for LD26 (COMPO)
[UPDATE April 30 11pm] - It only took finishing Iron Man 3 to get to correct this bug lol! Game is now functional! Also the original WEB link doesn't work at times, so I included a Kongregate mirror :)
----
[UPDATE April 30 11am - I left an unintended bug right at the beginning that puts the game in hardcore mode! Try it at your own risk.... :P
I'll correct the bug this evening, sorry!]
----
[UPDATE April 29 - Thanks a lot for the comments guys!! :)
I solved the bugs mentioned on the comments, but if you find any others let me know! ^_^]

AMAZING! This is a perfect arcade game, you simply nailed that intense feeling when everything turns into chaos. You should definatly takes this to the next level, it will be a great success. Think smartphones and something like that.

Excellent work! =)

Btw, there seems to be a bug that difficulty remains when you retry after you died

Really nice flow in gameplay! I really liked this. Is there any way to control where you land?

Thanks a lot for the comments, everyone! :)
I edited the entry text to clarify some things. And also corrected major bugs! Game should be running fine now.

@agmcleod It's a countdown for the meteor. Once it reaches 0, it falls to where the countdown was.
@Brassawiking noted! :)

Great game! Intuitive controls easy to pick up mechanics and nice graphics/music for strong support. If you'd like to improve it- I'd suggest to add some kind of story as to why you're collecting hearts and/or give the hearts extra indigenous value like you can buy lives/shields with hearts or something

Quite simple game. Straightforward mechanics.
Pretty fun nonetheless. Played various runs.
The general aesthetics backs up your concept, I just don't dig the background art too much.

@PsenFilip Yeah the background was kind of a rushed thing and an attempt to do something "trippy" lol! But I'm glad you liked it!

Pretty good! Thought the gameflow would work better if it was in 2D, but it's pretty fun none the less! It also should have a "Shift back" button, so you could make it more intense.
