Tessellate by sharrackor
A fast-paced adrenaline-pumping arcade shooter, Tessellate dares to take the Ludum Dare 35's theme - 'Shapeshift' - literally.
Play as a small but strong triangular CPU and make your way through an 80's tech themed shoot-em-up as you face an endless stream of opponent shapes. What makes your little triangle so special? Why, the power to grow more shapes on yourself as you crush your foes, of course! Mow down hordes of enemies, avoid bombs, and gain power as you assimilate your enemies and go from a mere triangle to a thousand-sided shooting machine!
Controls:
- Use WASD for movement up, down left and right the screen
- Move mouse pointer to adjust the rotation for your player
- To shoot bullets from all your triangles, use the left mouse button
- To make all your rectangles emit damage, press the right mouse button
- Pause with 'Escape' key

Plays really well (though you can fly over the top of the UI elements) and is pretty damn addictive. Great job!
The music was good, but I found that the sound effects had a tendency to drown it out (although that's partially because I was spamming pulses).
