Move slow, keep an eye on the shapeshifting cooldown, stick around the spawn point, kill bad guys and collect fuel.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It gets repetitive pretty quick and UI elements on the bottom right can't be seen when there's a wall object under them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than these issues, it's a good entry. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"arhpositive","author_uid":"11575","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 7:20pm","epoch":1461093300,"text":"Oh, OH! Also, Start button didn't work for me.

It worked in the editor grrr maybe I uploaded the wrong file. I think I'll try to smooth out some stuff and add a keyboard control option tomorrow, maybe package mac and linux versions also.

And essentially first time creating a game that is mostly playable & original. Lots that I would like to improve but hey! Its playable now so I'll submit it to compo despite desperately needing music and better UI!\r\n\r\nA top-down shooter revolving around a Movement-form \/ Fighting-form shapeshift mechanic and a create-more-badguys-to-get-more-points mechanic.\r\n\r\nCurrently controller-only! If you aren't on windows AND using an xbox360 pad then you may have to set the controls in the Input tab in the launcher.\r\n\r\nI've now uploaded an updated version that shouldn't violate any of the post-jam-update rules. Basically just ease of life stuff, made the obstacles grey, made sure the controls work properly etc.\r\n\r\nMove with left stick\r\nPress 'X' to place new spawner (points!)\r\nPress 'B' to shapeshift into combat mode (This has a 10 second cooldown, displayed in bottom right)!\r\nShoot with right stick\r\nPress 'start' to reset the level\r\n\r\nLet me know how you do!","title":"HARVESTRON"}
