Shapeshifting Sorcery by foxroxracer

made by foxroxracer for LD35 (JAM)

Hi!

This is my first participation in the LD game jam :)
Well, actually, it is my first mostly "finished" game!

Game Info:
You're a wizard with only one magic spell! Shapeshift enemies!

Cast your donut (hmmm donuts) shaped magic spell towards the evil enemies!
Cast, like you never casted before, until those evil bastards change into a good object shape and fly to heaven (really, this is not a bug)!

For those who like bugs, this is the game you need :D

Controls:
Aim & Shoot with mouse (to shoot further, aim higher)
Move player with Arrow keys

That's pretty mental :) Once I figured out I could shoot high to make it go further it became easier, am I meant to be turning things into bananas or toilets? Makes sense I suppose

I think you set up the streaming player wrong? It's displaying weird, I have to scroll around to find the game. itch.io has a specific link for linking into the ludumdare site if you edit the game page.

Anyway! It's quite fun! I like how surreal turning the snakes and baddies into inanimate objects is.

@rahulparihar:
Thanks!

@DragonZBW:
Hi! Implementing a wave spawner was on my todo list ;) This should make the game easier I think :)

@tompudding:
Thanks! Yeah, once you get familiar with the spellcasting it becomes easier to play :)

@F4KETHIS:
Thanks for the tip! Should be fixed now :)
Thanks for the comment :)

Quite hard, probably since I didn't figure out the aim high mechanic! Was fun and hectic!

Liked the enemy designs

Game controls very hard especially when you bump into the enemy. I would also maybe suggest you keep the projectiles on the Y axis at one fixed height to make it easier to shoot enemies

interesting. Nice music and nice idea. Maybe make him walk a bit faster :D But a nice game.

The music is very fitting! It's a bit hard since there are lots of enemies that surround you very fast. Also, the font makes the score difficult to read. Good entry overall! :D

The graphics have potential. Very hard to play, difficult to spin. Maybe the character could spin faster and shoot spells by a further range.
