Love the concept and the graphics. Was easily able to kill the opponent without transforming by spamming attack. Also I love how clicking the keys on the controls page shows you what it does but pressing enter started the game w\/o me being able to finish learning the controls! Also had to quit to try again. Great work though I like it!"},{"author_name":"tauntButtered","author_uid":"91334","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 4:10am","epoch":1460952300,"text":"I can't figure out the strategy or it's like if you combined Magic the Gathering with arcade button mashing against an AI that's way faster than you, except even if you are that fast it doesn't seem to matter as your access to abilities relies on chance (Is it random? I never got the wolf card either). \r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's unique for sure, I kinda like it actually, but I don't really enjoy playing it in its current state. This could have benefited greatly from a tutorial or weaker enemy to start off, that enemy is instantly on you and absolutely relentless."},{"author_name":"Halleflux","author_uid":"24741","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 4:14am","epoch":1460952540,"text":"Interesting idea, but it's a touch underwhelming due to the fact that you can win without using any of the cards. An action card game is an interesting concept, but I feel it could benefit from a few brief moments of non-action so people to allow planning. This could lead to being able to select cards in a strategic way, which opens a lot of doors for cards.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>However, given that this was a 48 hour contest, no points off for not managing that. =P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Apart from that, the graphics are nice, and the gameplay is still fun, which is why I wish it was a bit more fleshed out. It does have potential as an idea, though! =)\r<br\/>Well done!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>On a side note: for my game, on the third level, you need to be the same 2D shape as the object you want to go to in order to swap to it. Please try again, once you get that the game is a lot more fun! =)"},{"author_name":"tauntButtered","author_uid":"91334","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 4:16am","epoch":1460952660,"text":"You might see a big difference in people who used the gamepad VS the keyboard and mouse. I used the gamepad and couldn't pull the trigger key as fast as I can click the mouse. Also the mouse click has no delay where the gamepad right trigger button does have a huge delay."},{"author_name":"egos","author_uid":"20701","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 6:54pm","epoch":1461005340,"text":"nice idea a battle of shapeshift \r<br\/>The wait is long since the first card"},{"author_name":"hugheth","author_uid":"92353","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 7:27pm","epoch":1461007320,"text":"Really nice graphics, great idea about combining genres, but I think the controls could be slowed down and maybe add some more traditional attack mechanics e.g. knockback, shield, overheat etc."},{"author_name":"Kifuga","author_uid":"86172","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 7:32pm","epoch":1461007620,"text":"Really cool experience playing your game!

Your objective: stay alive.\r\n\r\nThe strategy is about managing your deck of cards to enhance your character during battle. You'll use cards to shapeshift into skeletons, wolves and people each with their own unique abilities.\r\n\r\nGo forth and smite your enemies.\r\n\r\n\r\nInstructions\r\n=============================\r\nThis game plays a little bit like MtG in that you're playing cards, and using energy to \"cast\" them.\r\n\r\nYou start with a deck of cards which is shuffled at the start of the game, and then every 3 seconds you draw a card unless you have 4 cards in your hand (max hand size).\r\n\r\nWhen you play an energy card, you gain 1 energy.\r\n\r\nYou can then use the energy you've collected to play other cards in your hand based on their cost (Upper right number of the card)\r\n\r\nEach card has a description in the bottom.\r\n\r\nShapeshifting cards have stats in the middle for Attack, Defense, and Speed.\r\n\r\nYou continue playing cards until you run out of cards in your deck, all the while trying to fight off an AI that's doing the same thing.\r\n\r\n","title":"Graveyard Shift"}
