You are the bodyguard of the president. Unfortunately, some filthy rebels seem to disagree with your employer and try to kill him on his way to his palace. You could use your gun to eliminate them and protect him, or you could use your special shamanic powers to shapeshift into a bloodthirsty monster who can punch, grab and throw pretty much everything. However, if citizens see you like this, it'll probably affect the president's reputation. But if there are no witnesses, there are no problems either.

WASD : movement
Space : jump
Left CTRL : aim
Q : shapeshift

(While human)
Left click while aiming : shoot

(While monster)
Left/right click : punch with left/right hand
Long press on left/right click : grab with left/right hand or throw the grabbed object

Hah - funny entry. Neat use of the two shape shifting modes. Picking up cars and blowing them up is more fun than I would have expected. Poor president.

Good game ! I died because of too much fun ^^
Add explosions sounds and hire Michael Bay as director and your game will be a best seller :D

Thanks everyone :D ! The game is obviously too difficult though, so if you manage to finish it... Well played haha

Really fun game ! Good job !
I don't have any sound, is it normal ?

Citsuaauthor19 Apr 2016, 11:50

Yes, I didn't have time to add sound effects :/

That was really fun. But CTLR for aiming isn't cool

Thank you, and I don't think it's a problem since you can remap the controls before the game starts :)

Hope you had fun making it =)

Very entertaining entry, that plays and handles very well. The idea of being a bodyguard that can shapeshift is fun in and of itself. The style of the game fits the overall feeling and humor very well.
