Polymorph by cameronpenner

[raw]
made by cameronpenner for LD35 (JAM)
A simple game of shapes, similar to rock-paper-scissors. My best score is 813!

I decided to go with GameMaker this time round, forgot that there's no free web export, so it's download only -_-

Also, I made the whole thing using pretty much only drag and drop code! Not sure if that's an achievement or not :P (I've mostly switched to Unity C# by now)

Credits to Allen Penner for helping with the audio!

It was difficult to get started, but I really enjoyed the way each individual piece moved. The game felt simple and polished and there was definitely no over ambition with the project, which is good for these competitions.

I LOVE THIS GAME
the concept is SO solid. i love the way the different pieces move, especially the teleporting square! and the way it teleports just by holding a direction and releasing instead of having to push a button or something is very smart! and of course the music and narrator are a great addition.

i do have one big criticism, though: it's wayyyyyyyyy too easy. i didn't actually *lose* the game, I just stopped playing at some point to come write this review. However, the fact that I was enjoying the movement and mechanics so much despite the lack of difficulty really says something! great job :)

"This is why I'm going to the prom with you" "HMMMM YES." Basically Macho Man Randy Savage on a RPS spree. Love it.

Kappa has your back! Great concept, smooth animations, challenging in the later parts. Awesome!

Apparently Game Maker games are the least likely to run in WINE on Linux :(

Nice game! I liked the simplicity of it very much. The music is great! The tutorial level could be a bit faster-paced, but overall I liked it very much! GG :)

Mmmm... polymorph. :D

It took a bit to figure out the controls but once they clicked it was easy. Clever idea!

Great soundtrack, and the graphics were nice, I liked the color palette. Once I read the help I had lots of fun!
