Sideshift by Gyt

[raw]
made by Gyt for LD35 (COMPO)
This is a strange ugly puzzle game which I made using pico-8.
You can start with any figure and then move it to other one to transform its shape. Each shape has unique movement pattern and it can only takes 3 steps. Goal of the game is to transform/clear as many figures as possible. Levels are randomly generated and the perfect solution is no always avaliable.

Added post-compo version (same link, lower on PICO-8 cartridge page). Levels should be solvable now. Also I quiet down sounds, make some graphics tweaks and add restart level button.

Controls
cursor keys: move selector/piece
Z: select the first piece
X: restart level

PICO-8? Really? That's insane! Not sure if the theme fits well here but hey, it's great to have such entries. Good job!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

I really liked it. Very creative and not something I think I've seen before. Would prefer it more if it had a smoother difficulty progression and every level was solvable. But that would of required more time. Good going.

It was a bit confusing at first, maybe the controls should be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Well I cant see where you change shapes, but its a very neat puzzle game. I had fun playing it and this is all what matters, isn't it?

Interesting puzzle game, but because the limit of PICO-8, I think rule a little hard to understand
