In another dimension the Shifters play with Time and Space using Colors and Shapes. They bend the very fabric of Time by continually altering their existence. Living for thousands of years but what seems like seconds...blah...blah...blah...oh whatever!
Thank you for considering to play "Super Surface Shape Shifter". This is a simple game where the object is to change the shape of your player by penetrating the surface with other shapes that match in Shape or Color. Powerups and Bonuses help you get super high scores.
What level can you get to?
What will your high score be?
Hi Scores and Levels are saved using Scoreoid.

This game gets very hard at later levels. If you have an Adroid, try playing on that using the APK provided.
It was a little tough to figure out what to do. It needs instructions. Once I figured it out, though, it was all right. The graphics and sound were kind of simple, but they fit perfectly.
Nice job. It's quite addicting! I kept playing until level 6 at that point I didn't feel like it got any harder. I kept trying to juggle multiple objects, but I didn't feel like I was rewarded for doing that. The challenge I feel should escalate maybe a bit more. Does it save your score even if you don't die and just quit by accident?
thanks - no you have to submit your score - I did not feel like making it too hard until level 10 - maybe I should rethink that - adding combos was thought of, but no time to work the mechanics in - thanks for the feedback
I had a pretty good time with this actually. I didn't pick it up right away, but a quick trial and error made it super early to learn. I kept trying to save shapes for later, but it's tough. The difficulty curve felt a bit slow, though, overall.
This was fun :) I do wish the controls were more obvious though - took me a while to realize I could drag the entities, and I should have read more carefully because I didn't quite get that I had to match shape or color right away. Felt like my wrist was getting pretty tired playing on my laptop trackpad so I feel like a mouse is very much needed for this game.
Very cool idea. Who would have thought that just matching shapes could be so much fun or interesting. It's fairly addictive, and the music is a big help there. Very nicely done.
There was something oddly very satisfying about this game. Well done! I like the soothing nature of the sound effects, good choice there. I would have kept trying for a higher score, but I think the star background was making me a little motion sick. Could just be because I need sleep.
Pretty good all round, could have easily started at round4 and I would have liked it to be 2 - 3 times as fast, not very challenging as is. Still, very cool and polished entry, great music and visuals, well done! :)
Star field effect was very cool. Love the shape spin flourishes when I fling them off to the side. Felt like I was waiting a very long time for shapes I cared about to drop sometimes. One suggestion I can offer, maybe if the shapes drop in waves of 3 or 4 at a time, then you have the challenge of picking a sequence of shapes that you can shift into in quick succession for a higher score? On the whole, good work. I enjoyed trying this one out.
I kind of though this was going to be a bit repetitive at the start but I ended up playing it for ages, I REALLY liked the audio, the music sounded like 80s electro pop music like new order or something, and the sfx were sweet!
The game is definitely fun, but I'm not sure how much it relates to the theme. I know you say it, but I think it's a stretch since it's pretty much just shape matching. That said, it's the jam, so it doesn't matter SO much and the game is still a lot of fun.
I liked the music, I liked the gameplay, and I enjoyed how it sped up. The art could be better, but that's sort of expected. A few of the menu options were empty, so I probably wouldn't have included them.
Those are pretty much all of my thoughts. Nicely put together, I think if you kept working on it this would be especially fun on phones so I'm glad you've already gone that far. :)
The gameplay was surprisingly compelling, well done! Pacing was a bit too slow for my taste, it never really got hard on me. I only died because I never knew when invincibility ended and got screwed right after. Anyway, great job!
i played the android version on a nexus 10. it works really well. the music and audio are spot on for that sort of game. the touch controls work really well. i felt like it could have been a lot more challenging - or perhaps the easy levels can go by more quickly. the graphical effects are excellent. the high scores list is nice.

Sure, it's simple but a lot of fun and quite polished.
Highscores? Neat! Nice transitions on the menus, but the options and about screen are missing! Music reminds me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg9DBCZdTTc , which is to say it's awesome. First two levels were a little slow, and it seemed to reset the sector/level when I paused/unpaused the game to write this comment. :( Oh, and good use of Unity Cartoon FX pack. :p
Music's pretty great. Played the game for 10 stages and it didn't bother me at all. Nice easy to learn mechanics and overall good design. Was a bit too easy I feel, difficulty could be ramped up a bit earlier than it was. Keep working on this.
You put in a ton of nice little details! I really got into it the more I played.
I really liked the music as well. Definitely a fun game. I played it on windows, but I bet it'd be a ton of fun as a mobile game. If I had an android tablet I would have tried it out.
Really fun, got up to level 10 and 200k points before giving up. The basic mechanics and the sounds are really solid.
I wish the game got a bit faster at higher levels, and vertical orientation might have been a better choice. Also, sometimes it felt that the touch hitbox for the enemies was smaller than I was expecting.
The flip animation when tapping an enemy was a nice touch.
What a nicely polished game!! If the gameplay was balanced a little more (more threats, a bit faster paced), this would be a perfect game to market ;) Good job!

All in all, pretty sweet game.

Anyway, great job!

You should put it on the android marketplace!

Btw you can test our patched version of underwater engineer :)
