LoneStranger's ShapeShifter by LoneStranger

[raw]
made by LoneStranger for LD35 (COMPO)
LoneStranger's ShapeShifter

Use the power of the SHAPES to defeat the evil MIASMA infesting SHAPELAND!

Left and Right arrows - move shape
[space] - jump
down arrow - special ability (triangle and square)

1 - line segment
2 - triangle
3 - square
4 - circle

(shift - cheat cycle all shapes)

----------------

Sidescroller where there are four shape types: line segment, triangle, square and circle. Each shape has special properties or abilities that are useful in getting around SHAPELAND. However, in order to become the shapes, you must first help the line segment find them.

[Hint: Once you get the triangle, clear out all the baddies to win.]

Made with Phaser - http://phaser.io

Very rough but good concept. Worked from start to finish without problem though I cheated after some time :)

Just one thing:
- Controls seem weird at times. Jump's too loose and if you have some keys pressed (ie: left/right) other key pressed (down to power up) don't register. Likewise, using down arrow to power up then moving and letting down arrow go, keeps power running....bit weird

Other than that, nice one.

This looks really nice, but difficult to control.

I liked it. Took me a few attempts to beat it but I beat it after all!

I didn't find out where to use the square shape... The triangle was too powerful!

Simple but interesting concept! Though the control was a bit weird, especially the jumping, not always responding very well... Anyways great job!

Nice concept, but the controls are a bit tough, especially the jumping. Love the stick animation.

That game was awesome.
It's a little sad that there was not much use for other forms other than the triangle and sometimes the circle and the stick for some jumping.
Interesting concept if you get more levels and more shapes with specials.
Anyways I liked it a lot! Good Job!

Good concept and mechanics. I miss some kind of audio or music but it's fine :).

Nice idea. Quite a hard game! I found three of the shapes before resorting to cheating.
