luvShape is a simple experimental game about falling through shapes!
Rotate the incoming shapes and try to match them with the silhouette as you fall down through various psychedelic worlds. PS. The number of the dots on the restart screen represents how many layer you passed, keep an eye on them!
You can play HTML5 (WebGL) version right on LD website using Windows, Linux or Mac OSX! :)
Control shapes: ←, → (or A, D) Restart: Space Pause: Esc

Very interesting idea. We just liked how you played with the colors! Just showed it on our channel andiFromPixelManiacs to our fans and told them to vote!
Wow, that was.. special? :D i felt so distracted by the background that i missed a lot of pieces in the beginning and at first i didnt know what to do, but then it began to be really fun. i think you made a really fun geometry game and from the games i've played so far, this one has the most unique artwork yet, and although the game concept is simple, its really hard enough with that much distraction. cool entry :)
woooow i loove the visual design! really nice choice of colors in all the stages, and pretty interesting gameplay. As the shapes approach i always think they're too difficult/ambiguous to easily pick the right rotation but im surprised each time when i do it right. nice job!
wow. That was a real audio-visual treat. The mechanics were simple but enjoyable, and made for a great excuse to enjoy the fancy graphical effects. A wonderful, wonderful entry.
Very nice! The visuals and audio are amazing and funky, and while the gameplay is very simplistic the audiovisual experience made playing the game a lot of fun. Sometimes I seem to get a success and failure at the same time?
The visuals and audio were amazing, 5/5 in those categories for sure. I would have enjoyed the gameplay better if there was a clear way to know how many lives you had left, and some kind of 'high score' system. The dots on the restart screen were a fantastic way of displaying the score, though.
We started with a really similar concept for our game, but I think what you really cashed in on was the hypnotizing aspect of waiting to match oncoming shapes. Awesome combination of art and music, and a really fun experience.
Brilliant game, very trippy. Played it on stream. My only criticism is that it is difficult to discern as to what angle you will get with the next button-press.
Very very VERY cool graphical style and soundtrack. The fact that controlling the shape is almost like rotating it but not quite can be a little confusing at first. It's probably better played full screen and not in the small window on this page, so you can see the shape better. Overall it's a clever variation on the mechanic, very trippy and enjoyable. Congrats!
Wow! Wow. Really stellar feel, and a surprisingly addicting mechanic. The visuals and sound really made the technically simple gameplay super fun. 5 stars from me.
I like how this took a twist on a lot of the "rotate the shape to fit in the hole" games that have come out of this jam. It was almost like rotating the hole instead of the shape, and having to make a call on a shape that was too small yet to tell and rush to adjust as it got bigger was pretty interesting. It did take me a bit to realize that I was more cycling through shape options than actually rotating a single shape, but once I got that, I had an easier time making strategies to identify the correct shape (usually looking for one outstanding edge or feature and going based on that). I enjoyed how you used the art complexity to ramp up the difficulty, and it had a really consistent mood to it. If you wanted to do even more of a ramp-up, I'd suggest pacing earlier shapes to be easier to identify at a difference and move up towards the more subtle ones. I couldn't tell if this was already happening or if the shapes were just random. Also might nice to get a player input before starting right away ;) Nice work making an aesthetically coherent game!

nice job!
The work on the graphics alone is simply amazing, I imagine there was a lot of technical difficulty involved.
First 5/5 entry you deserve it!
Nice game though
Awesome presentation! Very trippy!
It seems so easy at first but the whole thing just messes with your eyes. Damn!
Great entry!
