Just a flash and a life went away with nobody near me and me not firing.  Secondly, as somebody else mentioned, sometimes you switch bodies and find that you're trapped into getting hit by something, and you couldn't have predicted it, since the guy who hits you was offscreen at the time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's a very original and weird idea, which is cool, but it needs the brutality taken out.  I think it would work much better as a pure puzzle, like non-moving shapes and you have to find the combination of shots that would clear the board.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really appreciated the thorough menu with multiple game modes, that kind of polish is cool to see in an LD entry."},{"author_name":"csanyk","author_uid":"10473","time":"May 18, 2013 @ 9:36pm","epoch":1368912660,"text":"Rather different."}],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/MechaGK\/ludum-dare-26\/downloads\/Shape%20Attack%20-%20Windows.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/MechaGK\/ludum-dare-26\/downloads\/Shape%20Attack%20-%20Mac.zip","text":"Mac"},{"url":"https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/MechaGK\/ludum-dare-26\/downloads\/Shape%20Attack%20-%20Linux.zip","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/8478905\/Games\/Shape%20Attack\/Shape%20Attack%20-%20Web\/Shape%20Attack%20-%20Web.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/MechaGK\/ludum-dare-26\/src","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"25751","g_author":"16081","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"25781","g_title":"Shape Attack","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"996","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"Y","g_has_icon":"N","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"text":"Shoot red shapes with arrow keys of WASD.\r\nHit as many as possible and don't let them escape.\r\nIf you hit a shape, you will move to their place and take their shape.\r\nYou lose lives when shapes get out of the screen.
