Runaway Clothes by scorched

[raw]
made by scorched for LD35 (JAM)
Once upon a time...
In a forest, a druid awoke... :-)

Controls: Left+Right/A+D for move, Space for jump, Left-Mouse-Button on little animals for shapeshift, Shift/Right-Mouse-Button for throwing.
In Level 2 you can select the spell in left bottom screen corner with Left-Mouse-Button or with 1 and 2 keys.

[!] in Update 1 you can also jump with Up/W, and movement and jumping works for AZERTY and DVORAK too!

- (fixed in Update 1) Difficulties with non-QWERTY keyboard layout
- (fixed in Update 1) Debug keys are still working

- (fixed in Update 2) The hero sometimes dies on reviving, and after that finally revives
- (fixed in Update 2) When someone is dying, the sprite is below grass
- (fixed in Update 2) Birds tend to fly down sometimes after transforming back (and even go underwater)

The game's pretty nice but I could never beat the second level. The graphics and audio are both great but the game mechanics could use a bit more work.

Clever way to interpret the theme.

Nice artwork! Collision boxes feels a bit weird tho but overall good work!

@dusho, auto-picking birds is ok, and you are throwing birds because for sake of humour the shapeshift only lasts for 4 seconds :-)

Neat idea. Somehow I couldn't get it in my head that shapeshifting a bird that's right above me will mean the stone will drop and kill me. I wonder if that's an intentional feature. Also, birds seem to escape from my pockets randomly?

Got stuck on the second level due to a collision bug. Even until that point the gameplay was more frustrating than fun, though I dig the druid with speedos. The graphics are lots of fun in general!

Nice entry! I have been stuck at the 3rd wild boar as ducks were all at the water level, and I didn't managed to kill the boar because of them!
Loved the humor of your character and story. Music is cool too, though.

Well done! :)

@illuware, yep, it's all intentional and for fun! Birds are escaping pockets, because the transform lasts for 4 seconds. Could have timer indicator near the items to make it more obvious though...
@Hectigo, where exactly did you get stuck? I can beat entire game with bugs (though I doesn't mean I won't eventually fix them ;-))

Nice music and a funny intro! haha! Was a little annoying that my turned-to-stone ducks flew away, I wanted to collect them! ;)
Really nice graphics as well!

Interesting take on the theme and some fun art.

Well done!

Nice art and music! I think that would be good to shapeshift with more diferent animals. There is a bug where the character can enter in to the ground and cannot escape but great job in general!

this is pretty neat. sometimes the stones collected scroll gets in the way of seeing the ground. fun mechanic, nice graphics, good sound

This is a really funny game! It's not just the naked druid, nor the shapeshifting of the small animals into rocks to throw, but the resurrection is what really got me. Throwing out the "dead" druid before the real one comes through? Hilarious! Good job!

Cool pixel art, wish it took more hits before dying.

This was a pretty entertaining game. Once upon revival, however, I fell under the ground and got stuck. Other than that, good job!

Very fun take on the concept. Small glitches when respawning - double-death.

Nice idea, really funny having a wizard in underwear, throwing rocks made out of ducks.

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

Had a ton of fun playing, but kept running into a bug with the checkpoint system that it kept killing and spawning me inside of the ground

I didn't find how to take of running pants, but it's a good entry, well done. :)

@LeReveur, oh, just like with boars, but you need 3 shots to pull the pants :D

The graphics and audio ROCK!!!! I only wish I could press W to jump!! lol but the game was fun and the level design felt natural! Good job!

Really fun to play, and the art/sfx/music were awesome. I got stuck on the second level, the duck taht I turn into a crate dips below the surface too much, and I can't jump high enough to make it. Otherwise a really fun game, well done :)
