Very good idea with the indicator where you going to hit the wall. I'm really enjoyed this one :)"},{"author_name":"Studiosaurus","author_uid":"65664","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 11:20pm","epoch":1461453300,"text":"Holy crap that's hard got to level 3 and the hole seemed literally the exact same size as the sphere, and I had about half a second to adjust. Would help a little if the indicator was a little more visible before about 5m away from the wall :D I liked the challenge though, and the viusals. It's just a little impossible."},{"author_name":"mountainstorm","author_uid":"83448","time":"Apr 25, 2016 @ 9:43am","epoch":1461577080,"text":"Control choices aren't prefect (ctrl + arrows is a hotkey on some OSs).  Nice idea but I'm not sure the perspective helped"},{"author_name":"Blobby101","author_uid":"5567","time":"Apr 25, 2016 @ 3:06pm","epoch":1461596460,"text":"Thanks everyone! Keyboard controls aren't great, I know - it plays much better with a controller if you've got one.\r<br\/>I'm interested to hear what perspective would be better though. I experimented a fair bit with it, and I found that it was often harder with the camera closer to the back of the shape because the shape would get between you and the hole."},{"author_name":"SecondDimension","author_uid":"14838","time":"Apr 30, 2016 @ 3:53pm","epoch":1462031280,"text":"A tough game but really well made and fun.

Good use of pretty shaders and effects but it could still use some polish. And for mac users control combined with arrows made weird things happen. But of course I wouldn't count that because if you use a PC how would you know? (I'm tired of this mac btw). The idea was good and it was fun but if the controls and graphics were a bit more polished up that would make a huge difference. But still, great submission!"},{"author_name":"smoreley","author_uid":"50886","time":"May 3, 2016 @ 1:52am","epoch":1462240020,"text":"Using ctrl and shift I don't think were the best options that could of been mapped to. I don't know what button combination I did but while I was playing the web version just closed out.

Guide the shape through the tunnel, shifting between your 3 forms to fit through different gaps.\r\n\r\nPlays best with a gamepad, or second-best with arrowkeys. Some keyboards can't have S and control held at the same time so WASD may not be the best option.\r\n\r\nWASD, arrows or Left Stick to move\r\nShift and Control or LB and RB to shift.\r\n\r\nPretty pleased with this one! It's my first compo entry in a long time, so the extra limited time was a bit of a shock! Apologies for the repetitive music too, there's a mute button in the menu.\r\n\r\nEdit: Fixed a bug that made highscores go down if you scored less on a subsequent run.","title":"Shifter"}
