You are a city sniper hunting for evil shapeshifters...
Gameplay: - Each level, there is one shapeshifter among the crowd... - Use mouse to shoot your gun... - Locate and kill the shapeshifter each level before time ends... - Killing innocent civilians will decrease your time... - You can zoom in and out (mouse scroll) or change camera angles (A or D) to help you find the shapeshifter... - Try to kill the shapeshifter quickly for higher scores! Compete the highscore against players around the world!!
Note: IF U GET THE HIGHSCORE, YOUR NAME WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE GAME TO EVERYONE WHO WILL PLAY.

I like the choice of font. I also like the minimalist art style, it fits to the game. The mechanics are simple yet it's the way you observe the environment that's really tricky. Haha!
One of my concerns is the difficulty curve in the level progression. After the 6th level, everyone's haywire. I got past level 7 just by sheer luck. Humans and dogs are literally EVERYWHERE. x_x Maybe just turn off some building lights or lamp post lights in some levels or something like that would suffice?
Another thing is that rotating the game screen sometimes just nudges the screen. I tend to lose track of the shapeshifter whenever I rotate the screen so I don't really use it much.
Also, I would suggest to increase the countdown timer each time the level increases. Just so.. you know, more time to concentrate. ;)
Graphics are really great. The mechanic is a nice idea, I think gampeplay could be developed a bit more, but you have a nice base to work on it. Good job
Great concept! I love the attention to detail in the graphics. The 'Don't Do It' sign is a nice touch :D
I found that in later levels (maybe 10 and onwards?) the dogs and people started to jostle each other in a way not that distinguishable from shapeshifting. Also it didn't always turn when I pressed A or D; I couldn't deterministically reproduce the issue. I feel like increasing the shape shifter's sophistication somehow would be a better way to scale the difficulty.
I enjoy the earlier levels more than the later ones. The movement gets too glitchy when the dogs and people are so bunched up and it was easy for me to mistake a sudden shift in position due to the pathing as a shapeshift, which made it unfairly difficult. On a different note, the presentation is fantastic, really well done!
Cool game, like a polygonal hidden in plain sight game. Looks really nice. The one problem I had was when you get toward double digit levels there are so many people and dogs that everything is blinking around trying to find a place where it can fit and not be colliding with something else so it just looks like everything is changing shape.
Such a beautiful game to look at. And I really enjoyed looking out for those shapeshifters and blasting them to smithereens. Great little easy to play game. Got 241 points, but I messed up on level seven shooting two innocent people... collateral damage, I say.
Hah, that was genius. Only thing that annoyed me: that camera was stuck to 4 direction, i wanted free rotation as sometimes it d turn just to get a large building in front of the person i was following and would get stuck for a few secs. Otherwise, great mood and idea. You somehow made shooting dogs fun? Which makes me sound like truly horrible person, good job.
Highscore! Noice, except the highscore TextField only takes 8 letters! I would have needed a few more.
In the end the jittering issue spelled my downfall as well. No way to distinguish between shapeshifting and plain old smushing & spazzing out on the streets.
The camera rotation mechanic also raises a few questions. Where are you sniping from? A helicopter? A drone? We may never know, but I find it rather odd that a planarshifting sniper would discriminate against shapeshifting pedestrians.
Really fun mechanic! The only problem i had with it was the choice of camera. It got really tedious. But i guess that's intended as it would be too simple with a free flowing camera =)
Nice mood and fine game overall, i like the low poly graphics (as you can see from our game lol) the environment is really nicely done, the characters less (more color variations and sharper design for the dog could have done wonders ;), btw the mechanics is nice, not very innovative but fun!
We had a similar idea! Mine was 2D though. So obviously 5/5 for theme ;) I liked the graphics and the blur effect around the edges. Like my game the problem is it gets hard reaaaaly fast. Overall a top entry!
LOVE this concept. Especially liked that the NPCs tried to hide before changing forms. Beautiful presentation. Visuals were great and audio fit the mood. Awesome job.
The difficulty definitely seemed to ramp up a little too quickly as it went on, and I think it might've been interesting to have more than one shapeshifter on some levels (maybe you did this in later levels, but I didn't see it :P).
Graphics are really nice though, love the minimalist style, and the music/ambient sound really added to the atmosphere.
I really enjoyed the look of this game. There are neat little details and looks astonishing! I found it quite hard to track the shapeshifter in later levels though...
Wow, really good job. It's extremely polished, and a lot of fun. I got 4247 on level 38. i.imgur.com/EmNB667.png It reminds me of the 7DFPS game 'Serial Sniper' If I were to change one thing, it would be to make the cursor just a little more precise. But you did a fantastic job on this one, I might come back to it later when I want a game to play.
you built a great atmosphere that let people easy to put himself in the position! the world change in detail and amibent also welldone,and the music's continuous also mix these and also adjustment the hole feeling. at first i was feel a little bit confused, but when i let me in to peaceful status, i could found the shifter quickly! very fascinating game.(and the high scores was really too high.. just dont know how he/she acheive this height omg... )
