Use your drum (SPACE) to perform 3 shapeshift rituals and become a true SHAMAN Move with WASD.
Become the INSECT, become the FISH, become the SPARROW Each of the three rituals has three steps
-Finding the stone -Finding the pace -Playing the rhythm
Let the drum be your guide !
EDIT : a lot of people were kinda lost so more precisions : when you find the stone you must play the drum with the right pace, then the stone starts playing rhythms and you must reproduce them with your drum. There will be several rhythms to play and if you get them right long enough, there will be a big change and you will be ready for the next ritual :)

This was a very calming and fun experience. I really liked the holistic reaction of the surroundings to the actions of the player. Nice visual style and execution. Excellent.
Froze time, fell through the still ocean, looked into a tree and saw the other world. Had little idea if i was doing well, but mashing the spacebar seemed to trigger the rhythm section so i did manage to complete the rituals. Super surreal experience, technically and thematically impressive. Great work!
Really nice. Thanks. At the blue stone I seemed to turn in to some kind of crab like thing and got a bit freaked out - that's when I could tell it was getting to me.
Cool game. I liked all the work put into the graphics. I had a bit of trouble trying to figure out what I was meant to do with the stone but other then that the game was fun. Good job.

Beautiful, it looks so great, I like the music, didn't figure out what am I suppose to do xD I did something, don't know what or why, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECFBvvRILFI
Haha, I recon there's a lack of feedbacks to understand properly.. You were on the right track though, you just have to keep playing the rhythms of the orange stone, if they change it means you got them right. After a few rhythms there will be the shapeshift !
Absolutely amazing. Having a clearer idea at the beginning as to what to do may have helped, but I got it eventually, and what an experience that was. Audio engineering was probably the most impressive I've seen in an LD game in a long time, and indeed even more impressive than many other games outside of LD. Graphical style was beautiful, reminiscent of Proteus, but the changes in the game as you progressed brought out it's beauty ever so much more. Really, really impressive.

The visual is nice and the sound is cool!
The rythm gameplay is interesting too.

Really, really impressive.
I've played hundreds of Ludum Dare games and this is the most beautiful one i have ever seen. Really good job
