The Core Process by Jacic

[raw]
made by Jacic for LD35 (COMPO)
Fight your way through a computer's security system to take over the entire system! This is a sidescrolling shmup, with a twist: your payload can shapeshift to better combat certain types of security programs and bypass "gates" safely.

Controls and instructions are explained in-game.

Well, the art isn't great. I tried to do something different and limit myself to 4 colors for each sprite, but I don't think it went too well. Also, this game may not be very playable with certain types of colorblindness. Sorry about that. I'm not sure it will be a problem for anyone, but I'm not sure it won't, either.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the game.

Made in < 48 hours using Haxe and HaxePunk.

Interesting idea and more difficult than it seemed at first :) My main issue is with the feedbacks: you have none ^^ It's a really important element in any game: if you hit something, it has to react accordingly (white flash, particles or shaking for example). It will make the gameplay feel more "powerful".
Good job on this one anyway :)

deepknight: Yeah, every LD I say, "I'll definitely add hit effects *this* time, just after I've done everything else." And then I run out of time. :p

Very fun!, liked the use of color and shape to signify what to do so I was able to understand without the tutorial!

I got a score of 4100, but I don't feel like that's very impressive.

It took me a few minutes to realize I wasn't playing Ikaruga. I think the game would have been more enjoyable if the player was invulnerable to bullets of the same color.

I rather liked the art. Not a bad effort at all, but it's lacking the fun aspect. Could've done with just a little more actual gameplay.
