I would have made the crabs be in front of the coral so that it feels more like I'm avoiding it. I couldn't catch any of the fish on purpose, it always had to be on accident, if I was more agile I think it would have been more fun. Music would have played a big role in how long people stuck with the game. I liked text, story like, explanations. There just needed to be some higher goal (was there?), maybe the next shape was a land creature which meant you could escape the pond and win. Well done on your first ludum dare :)"},{"author_name":"Yazara","author_uid":"45115","time":"Apr 28, 2016 @ 11:08pm","epoch":1461884580,"text":"I love the graphics! :D"},{"author_name":"local minimum","author_uid":"24765","time":"Apr 29, 2016 @ 9:26am","epoch":1461921660,"text":"I really liked the way the game explained stuff as I needed to know it. It got a bit too much when the crab grabbed me (ran through a bunch of messages that kind of landed on top of each other). Fun concept, but that crab pinched me to death."},{"author_name":"terryg","author_uid":"50816","time":"Apr 29, 2016 @ 11:36am","epoch":1461929460,"text":"this was fun.  as the green fish i kept getting stuck on the left side for some reason.

The game is basically you trying to survive. As you eat food you can build up fat and use that to transform into another creature with different traits.\r\n\r\nThe controls of the game are very simple, just the arrow keys and the spacebar. The game mostly explains itself but to make it clear:\r\n\r\nSpacebar      -> Menue selection and action button\r\nArrow Keys -> Menue navigation and movement buttons\r\n\r\nAlso, the circles at the top represent various stats as follows:\r\n\r\nRed -> Health\r\nBlue -> Food\/Hunger\r\nNavy -> Stored Fat\r\n\r\nAlso behind the coral, you can hide and predators will stop chasing you.\r\n\r\nAs a final note, on the left edge of the game environment, there is a strange collision bug where you get stuck there, to get out tap the right arrow button and wait for a few seconds then try to get out and repeat till you do get out.\r\n\r\nThat's all and I hope you enjoy the game.","title":"MetaShift"}
