Shape Shifter Match Maker by schizoid2k

[raw]
made by schizoid2k for LD35 (COMPO)
Press the Shape and Color buttons to match the shape at the top. You have 10 seconds to match all shapes in each round. Difficulty increases as you progress.

One point is awarded for each match.

Choose "Alternative Colors" for a more colorblind friendly palette. Read about this in the About section of the game if you are interested. It was a last minute decision to include this feature, and I hope it offers some help to those who have difficulty viewing red/green/blue images.

Thanks for checking out my game and source code. Please check out my web site and Twitter for more information about this and other games I have developed.

This game is written with a Tweening library called DOTween, and has not been included with the source code.

DOTween

This game uses a paid Unity Asset Store product called DOTween Pro (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/32416).

A free version of DOTween is also available here: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/27676

You should be able to download and install the free version without any issue.
The Pro version provides some cool features like path mapping in the editor.
If any Pro features are used in my game, and you do not have or wish to purchase DOTween Pro, you should be able to disable those components in the game.

It works well enough as a time killer, but it definitely needs something else. Something like having the player use a color slider to match the color rather than cycling through colors. It would work a bit better if I felt like a skill was being tested.

Very challenging! Though having to choose fast with a mouse was a bit difficult...

I found a bug where when you get a shape right and keep submitting your score keeps going up and it counts for other shapes and rounds!

Anyways great entry!

I loved it! Really challenger.

I got the score 78, in my third attempt, with the normal palette, but with the Alternative Colors, I was terrible haha

I thought the Alternative more difficult

Great Game John!! :D

This is a VERY innovative puzzle game you should consider polish up the graphics a little getting it commercialized!

Congratulations! :D

I had probably an unhealthy amount of fun playing, so simple but so engaging for some reason. Small bugs here and there, but they do nothing to make the game any less good.

Got a score of 21. A nice game. Nothing much. Good work, though!

Simple, but fun concept. I liked how the farther along the more shapes you have to match. Good submission.

This is an amazing game, congratulation, it would be fantastic if somehow you could add keyboard controls.

Pretty simplistic, but it does work. Also a bit repetitive.

Good job on finishing though :)

Definitely challenging. Or maybe it's late and I've had too much wine, lol.

The shape switch effect and sfx were good.

Nice job taking into account colorblind people.

Also, fyi you can shave about 35MB off the download size by deleting the .pdb files (they're used for debugging only).

Cool concept and it feels polished with the 3D effects, looks simple and effective.

I like how the the difficulty ramps up by adding more shapes to fill in, but it feels repetitive to make the same shape 3 times in a row. It might work better if you add extra shapes to copy, ex shape 1 triangle red, shape 2 sphere blue. then the player copies first shape 1 then shape 2.

Also I prefer one button for triangle, one for cube, one for sphere instead of cycling between them. But I think its just a matter of taste.

overall a elegant game :)

Fun game! It's really satisfying to learn the pattern and become a shape-matching god.

It did seem to never go above 3 shapes at a time though, and I just was able to keep going until 70 points, then called it quits. It would've been cool to see 4 shapes or even more, but maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment ;)

Great job!
