Cool music also :)
My best score was 38.
P.S: Not sure if it's intentional (shapeshifting?) or if it's a font issue, but when hovering over the main menu buttons, the font changes.
nice job!
I found it hard to start with, but once I got it there's a cool flow.
It gets fast a little too quickly, and I end up fat thumbing around 20
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
Overall the game is pretty polished, graphics-wise I would have suggested to fill the screen a bit more with animated stuff or something ; a cheap trick could have been to just tint the passed shapes instead of making them disappear.
But it's just a minor nitpick, overall is a solid entry, and probably a more accessible one than the Temple was ;) Good job!
I like the music and the graphics are minimalistic, but nice.
Overal a fun and nice game.
The idea is pretty interesting.
The design is nice despite being minimalistic. It's very well polished. I especially liked shape shifting animations.
Audio was good too.
But of course, there is a room for improvement.
I personally would like to see more "juice" in the game. Maybe, start the game with calm music and slow speed, and then gradually increase the speed (more notable than now) while making the music more energetic and complex and making background more flashy and fancy.
Overall, great job!
I found my self trying to correct mistakes with the arrow keys, having to reset felt awkward if I accidentally pressed up, and just wanted to shift back down. It seemed like I should be able to press down to undo an up-shift.
This is really fun though. With minor tweaks to the controls, I could see myself sinking a lot of time trying to get a highscore in this.
I'm too ashamed to say my final score though.
