The graphics were nice too (I thought the scanlines were a nice touch).

Especially the really deep FOV shadows make it spooky and surprisingly complex-seeming since you interpret them as holes in the floor. So it's almost as if the room is changing as you run around.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm not as sold on the autoshifting mechanic though, ends up feeling quite random when there's no user influence except sometimes skipping a move to hold on slightly longer if you like the current weapon. The diagonal one also is very confusing in the heat of battle.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Maybe one improvement would be to ease the player in by enabling the different weapons one at a time for the early levels? Either that, or allow some kind of limited action that skips a form or takes you back to the previous one at a cost. Not quite sure, it might be enough to just make the unchanging stints longer than a few steps. Also what about switching manually for a +1 HP reward and the risk of getting a worse weapon that you can't get rid of for N steps? Maybe some would even be non-weapons or stuff like reversed controls... I don't know, there's definitely potential in the style and general formula here."}],"images":["ld35\/40741-66e825814773c5e84b703f65c1dbaef6.jpg","ld35\/40741-63ec7cfa22f16cf3dcd37f4edd14d404.jpg","ld35\/40741-7838b018a2ac5949ad7d879148c6f9cb.jpg","ld35\/40741-a622294dc6fc54b9c79505d568182c57.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/elkiwydev.itch.io\/shootshift","text":"Windows (Itch.io)"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/ja1vzjo5wmioiff\/AAAAhDCFNQNrKgZHo8vPm_sya?dl=0","text":"Source"},{"url":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/J2UKLAQAJyw","text":"Timelapse"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"4079","g_author":"40741","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"4185","g_title":"ShootShift","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"204","g_commentcount":"40","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/40741-shot0-1460900772.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/40741-shot1-1460900772.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/40741-shot2-1460900772.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/40741-shot3-1460900772.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"ShootShift is the game which let you play a thing that shapeshift in to other things every five actions you take.
