Pacifist Hill by wavertron

made by wavertron for LD35 (COMPO)

***Pacifist Hill***

Move around on your hill, and defend against all attacks using three different shaped shields. Yep.... that's the shapeshift theme jammed in there somehow :/

I wasted Day 1 on a crappy concept that wasnt working. Day 2, I restarted and cobbled this together. Its a game... of sorts.

Missed the Theme mark sadly though. The different shaped shields didnt have quite the dramatic gameplay impact I had originally hoped. But happy I got something together.

Note: The Tank sound effect was not created by me, stolen hastily from a youtube video.

sucks you didn't have enough time to explore shifting the shields more, definitely fun for a bit

Fun! I loved the sound. I can see where you were headed with the different shield shapes. I really liked the various tanks and aircraft that would come thru and mess up my flow. Nice little touches.

Haha, love the sound effects :D

The game makes me feel a bit like I'm deflecting arrows with a sword or something. Maybe you could destroy the tanks that way, or something?

The shield-changing is a neat idea, but yeah, the arc is the only one I really used in the end.

Interesting take on the theme. Seems to be quite a bit of variation (plane, tanks, and the normal shooters). Good job!

Haha, awesome sound effects. :) There's a lot of charm here, despite the fact that the rectangular shield is possibly the worst invention ever! I had a lot of fun playing and I'm impressed by the variety you managed to squeeze in. Good work!

The Shield idea is very nice... good sounds and a fine gameplay. I really enjoyed this game... cool physics!

I think the best strategy is to stay at the start and stick with the hemisphere shield.

No real reason to switch the shield.

I enjoyed myself, played a few times. The different shields actually create different gameplay; nice work!

Really fun little game! I especially liked the bomb physics, something to throw off the normal pattern. Like others said below, expanding the shield shifting mechanic would be great. I would love a post-compo version, good job!

Neat little game you made there. Mechanics are simple but effective. It's pretty addictive to play and the sound effects were really funny. Good job for making this in a single day, I enjoyed playing it and managed to reach a score of 171 on my third try.

Good sound effect. I don't get the shield changing.

It's okay, but not great. It lacks any deeper goals.
