It feels entirely too random whether you'll win a fight or not and you always seem to have a chance to get gold and blood which ever form you take. The penalties were also so small I ended up just spamming the shark to see what happens next. I think the form choices need to be more meaningful.

Pretty nice graphics. The gameplay itself feels rather random, I gave up trying to figure out whether the ship descriptions have anything to do with which option I should choose, so I ended up spamming either zombie or shark depending on which stat seemed lower. The sound effects also seem totally random and have nothing to do with whether you win or lose a fight.

Interesting idea, but the game feels very strange and random: I don't see much change based on my choice and the effects vary a LOT each time.

Art is very pretty and the concept is interesting. Could have used more clarification as to what shapes are better against which ships and so on (shark always seemed to lose for me :S)

Good luck!

Good idea and pretty graphics! Just wish the fighting would be visible in some form and that I could affect it in some way.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Yo ho ho and a pint of blood. A little too random win but still fun. :)

Thx guys for the feeback and for your nice comments despite the obvious gameplay balance issue...
