Prometheus by sorceress
Description
^^^^^^^^^^^
This stated life as an RTS game with metamorphic units, but due to some setbacks I didn't have time to finish it :( So there was a change of plan, and my game evolved into this!
You play the role of a shape shifter, who can mutate into different characters. The six characters each have their own unique strengths and weaknesses:
- Some move swiftly.
- some attack at range.
- Some have armor to absorb damage.
- Some have special abilities.
This uses the theme Evolution through the fact that you must adapt to your present situation, by shape shifting into the most useful form.
However, you only have finite energy, both for shape shifting and for special abilities, so use it wisely. You can collect energy crystals to replenish your reserves.
The objective of the game is to survive as long as possible.
Information
^^^^^^^^^^^
- The game is controlled with the mouse only. LEFT click to walk. RIGHT click to attack. If you right click a point beyond your attack range, then you make a "push" towards it, a combination of attacking and stepping forward.
- The close button on the window will safely terminate the application.

Have fun, and remember to post your high score below :D

Music is nice, graphics are awesome!
Sorry, didn't remember to look at the score. :(
Overall good. =)
Nice idea! the setuip alone is impressive, and levelling is fun (although a bit grindy at the beginning)
The only suggestion I have is to make the combat a little more fluent. For example by making the character turn immediately and increasing his speed.
Awesome game, thank you!
