Shapeshift by suurin

[raw]
made by suurin for LD35 (JAM)
A 'tunnel-runner' game meets 'matching shapes' game.

Move with AD or left and right arrow buttons, and switch shapes with 1,2,3 buttons. Dodge lasers using your pyramid form. Switch to the sphere form to move left and right faster. Check in-game info about available pick-ups.

=== Important notice: Pressing ESC while in game quits you to main menu, if you need to pause the game press PgDown or F1 ===

Yep, there are no sounds. Sadly. Queue in some of your own music and have fun!

== KNOWN BUGS ==
- Level generation can sometimes (only happened to me once or twice out of like 20 playtesting sessions) overlap and cause the player to fall out of the level. Sorry if that happens to you.
- If WebGL (HTML5) version refuses to load you can always use standalone downloads, links are under the WebGL player, and on this page.

=== UPDATE ===
Post LD version is now up. Right now the only difference from the original is that it has sounds and some sick creative commons music in it. You can play it if you like. Standalone download links are big icons under the WebGL player.

Also a timelapse of the development process is now available - https://youtu.be/ZsVN2dGUwcI

Thanks for playing.

A nice fast-paced game with nice graphics. On the level generation side of things, some blind corners made it impossible to dodge incoming obstacles, and there were a few long periods of time when no obstacles appeared - but when level generation worked at juuust the right pace, it was good fun :)

Really enjoyed the game but I think it is limited by a lack of fast paced music to get the juices flowing.

@TreenewT The post-compo update will most likely include some of that. Sadly our music guy got sick litterally the day the jam began, and I absolutely did not have any time nor skill to make anything like that.

@Powersource Please try the standalone version, Unity WebGL player can be really bad at the thing it was created for.

yeah, its a shame there's no audio at all - even just some electronic tones on collision would have worked well with your clean aesthetic

Fun game, cool style. Often walls will appear in front of you so close that you have no time to react or move. Starts kinda slow but moving faster seems like a disadvantage. Sound would have been nice

I hope you will add music soon because it can be awesome !

Pretty cool!!! 11600 Points!, have a little glitch when you got a boost (colliding obstacles gives you hp, at least in level 4), in general a nice entry, just need some active music and is a potencial addictive game, great job!

Reminds me of one of the later levels in Jak3 and an old flash game where you were a missile flying down a tube with obstacles.
Pretty fun, though the graphics need a little bit of work to make it really shine. Sometimes the camera clipped through the track or got hit by an obstacle.
Overall, fun game though. :)

Nice take on it, some flow in the level design of the "tracks" that makes them frustrating sometimes. I've enjoyed the game.

Excellent entry! I love the design and the mood! I encountered the bug that put you out of the map, but I don't take that into account because I faced similar problems with unity in the past. Good job ;)

Good game, I haven't had a single bug in my session, it's fluid and good looking :)

Really neat idea right here, reminds me a lot of a programme on TV called "hole in the wall"

I really enjoyed the music so good job adding that afterwards, it pairs nicely with the gameplay. Only complaint is that I felt the speed took to long to become faster, maybe have speed tethered to your score instead of the blue gates?other than that, nice game!

Pretty cool game, but there were very long stretches with nothing going on, as well as blind corners when something did spawn. It kept me playing for a good long while though!

Fun and polished gameplay.
Solid entry!

What an amazing game. The combination of the simple yet very clear art style, the tight controls, and the new music you added creates a near hypnotic experience.

Even tho I think the theme is a bit dull, it's a great game.

Sometimes it's impossible to dodge an obstacle due to misfortuned level generation, and collisions with mismatching colors didnt always result as dmg. Other than that it's great fun. Good graphics, flow and seems addictive. Well done

Great game, fun to play and lovely graphics - simple but perfect. Not sure why/how it fits the theme ... but not sure I care :)

Very cool game. Awesome aesthetics. I like how there's not just one "up" direction like in some tube runner games. Kudos on the sweet proc gen. Well done!

One of my highest rated games in this LD. I simply loved the feeling of moving inside the tunnel and, as I did with my rhythm game, you decided to work with changes on basic shapes. I loved the audio and the minimalist graphics. If only the gameplay was synchronized with the music, it would've been perfect. Top notch entry!

Some turns make this really unfair, but the game plays nice, and oh my god, so glad that music was added :) Great job! :)

the graphics are amazing. could use a bit more balancing with line of sight and sudden obstacles - but those are minor changes.

The graphics are cool, minus the occassional clipping. I like the gameplay, though sometimes it feels like there isn't enough "warning time" after a curve, so it feels a bit cheap when you hit an obstacle. Still, quite a solid game, and it's fun!

Love the graphics! I did fall out of the level at the end of level 4.
