*This game works best when you pump up the music!*
Hey ya'll! Welcome to our Ludum Dare 35 Submission, Limber. The theme this time around was "Shapeshift". Do some stretches and jump on the track to bust some moves.
Instructions:
Press and HOLD the correct key to contort your body to the shape of the oncoming panels.

We're really happy with what we ended up with. It's definitely not the kind of game we would normally make, and that's one of the awesome things about doing Ludum Dare.
Serious props to everyone that put something out, it was crazy challenging! Hope you guys enjoy our game, we know it's really weird.
We'll be streaming other people's games on and off, so give us a follow on Twitch to see when that's going on. We play the games of people that comment on our game, and we also take requests as they come. We love talking to other devs so drop on by: https://www.twitch.tv/wefiends
If you don't have time to hang out live, leave your Twitter handle along with your comment and we'll try and tweet you a highlight of us playing your game :)
Of course with the quick dev time there are always some issues, here are some of the ones we know about. (I'll keep updating this list as people bring stuff up):
Known Issues:
- We don't have any support for non-QWERTY keyboards. This is something we really wanted to support, but the time didn't allow for it. - In the late rounds, the starting panel for each round is unfairly quick, still not sure what's causing this.
Nice job! Love the music and character art. The dialogue made the tutorial very enjoyable. I was impressed with how many combinations of keys you got in there with their own animations and everything :)
I seriously love this. The graphics and music are wonderful, the characters in the tutorial are funny and likeable. The gameplay is fun and difficult (I'm nvv on the high score table btw). Well done
this was really fantastic!! i loved the art style and the funky music, the poses were super cute, and a great take on the theme. all in all, i really enjoyed it :)
Nice art, music, tutorial, overall well done! I've seen a few other games with this similar theme but this is by far the most polished and easy to figure out and play.
I only wish the "combo counter" was closer to the character, like a little meter underneath him or next to him or something. A few times I wanted to look at it and it being up in the corner caused me to miss the upcoming shape.
Also for some reason, I kept wanting "X" to be the splits move, but I'm not sure why. Perhaps because it's similar to the "S" shape. Probably just a quirk of my brain.
Really funny, I only did 12 points xD (I try it but it was difficult, but I like it) I like the Animation, the humor, is interesting the use of the keys to do de positions, good work ^^
Nice concept. The controls are intuitive, but not easy at all; something that used both halves of the keyboard would've been easier, IMO. The aesthetic is pretty cute too, especially the animations. Nice work!

Didnt impress me. Its a direct copy of the show. Anyway...IS GRAPHICS EVERYTHING?! think about it....?
Love it! The tutorial was really nice, great dialog, and the difficulty balance was nice, had the potential to be frustrating but it was really fun! Top notch audio and art too!
Adore it. Brilliant music, hilarious characters and art, nice concept and implementation. Only nitpick is that Z and C are difficult to press simultaneously for me.
Yeah, I kept forgetting the S shape. Wow, really incredible achievement! This game seems really polished and slick. It does tend to get fast pretty quick, but entertaining tutorial- responsive gameplay, and fantastic character design! Would love if the "shifting" effected the main track more- but c'mon! Amazing work for 72 hours!!!
I always had trouble in the beginning because it was easy to accidentally shift my hand on the keyboard by mistake and get hit 3 times in a row because of that. So I decided to play with 2 hands. And here I am at the top of the high scores ;) (at least for now :D)
I just think that the X move (on the S key) should have been Q + Z + E + C, but now I'm wondering if all keyboard can support all these keys pressed together XD Anyway, that's also removing the only difficulty for people playing with 2 hands. So maybe it's better to keep it that way.
Caught wind of this from "Ludum Dare to Believe," it's so much harder than it looks, but so much fun! The music and art are on point, tons of replay value. Loved it!
That music was so awesomely peppy! I was just boppin' along to the beat :) Loved the whole thing, especially the way the guy does his little boogie in between shapes, and those tutorial characters were gold. Really well done!

Also, I'm in a slightly better mood now, after playing this game. There's some Kimmy Schmidt level peppiness going on in there.
I saw you play my game on the VOD of your Twitch stream. Thank you so much for visiting!

Great game!
Everything is so good in it... the art, the song, the mechanic...
It kinda reminded me of Osu's osu!mania mode.
I could have that wah/formant/talkbox synth talk to me all day.
