A walk to the top by JK5000
Description:
This is a simple puzzle game. In the game you must help a man with a green hat to go from start to finish. Your job is to place stairs and direction signs on the map, to make it possible for him to reach the goal.
My take on the theme "Shapeshift" is to chance shape of the level.
Controls:
You place the stairs and signs with the mouse, and you rotate them by using the right mouse button.
Used Software:
- Unreal engine 4
- Blender
- GIMP 2
- Inkscape
- Audacity
- LMMS
Play, rate, commit and most important of all, HAVE FUN.

Middle click camera panning would've been nice maybe or 2 buttons for turning left/right instead of only 1.
It's a little to simple for too long which made me loose interest. Then *bam* a super hard level appears! Got stuck actually, spent 5 minutes trying to work it out then I couldn't take it anymore :/
But I got the idea at least!
Imo, your take on the theme is too vague. But otherwise the game was fun.
Hope you had a fun time making it =)
Solved about seven or eight puzzles (left on a really big one with 11 arrows).
"Dubidubiedoopdoop!"
Only thing i can criticize is that I didnt really like that it had to blink for 1 second before i could remove a placed tile.
Some ideas I had for improvement, but are probably outside the scope of this gamejam:
* Limits to the attempt of tries one gets.
* Limited time to prepare the map.
* More kinds of map manipulation (jump, charge, destroy something, etc).
* Manipulate map while he is walking
Cool game.
fun game
I also really liked your voice over.
Really well designed puzzles.
Nice puzzles and take on the theme.
I just wish I could rotate the view with the mouse or have some keyboard shortcuts.
The levels are easy, but if you add more levels and objects, the game would be cool.
Solid entry, goood work!
Only problem is there was no real challenge to the game. A quick glance and I could quickly assess how to place the stairs and arrows to complete the level. Some more variety options to complicate things would make the game much better.
I liked how many levels there were to the game though.
(... and yes, the sound effects are good for a laugh :-) )
The voice made sounds made me smile.
Also, I feel the theme usage here is a bit of a stretch, even though other entries used environment alteration and I was fine with these. I dunno, maybe here it just seems too mundane (nothing as spooky as castle changing on its own or as wacky as warping the game window?).
Still, it's quite decent game, just not too exciting for me when it comes to gameplay itself. You seem to have little issue quickly making a game that feels complete, nonetheless, and that's quite an important thing, too (many people can't get a game to feel complete even with all the time they want, ehehehehe...).
The gameplay is cool and smart too, could easily become a phone game. Well done!
I pretty much liked it, but all the solutions were pretty obvious.
What this game could really make use of is a level editor.
The graphics are nice, the puzzle style remembered me a little bit of Chu Chu Rocket, which is nice. :)
The soundtrack is really nice, I think the voice acting is funny, but it needs some extra punch. ;)
Nice work! :D
