Click on the blue figures to change shape to make the queen happy before time runs out.
I hope you enjoy my mini game =)
Your free to comment in english, french and spanish. I appreciate your suggestions, comments and constructive feedback =D Music from Henry Purcell - Dance for the fairies
I'm used Construct 2, Paint.net and ChipTone for this project.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it's mobile friendly.
Is very hard! But you are working very well with the theme :) I think that it would be better if you have some sort of indication of "time before the clicked figure changes to blue again", but the game is good overall! good work!
Me gusto el sentido del humor, la yuxtaposición de lo kawai con música clásica y la relación con el tema del juego, me resultó dificil encontrar un patrón de juego
haha it was super great to play it, reminds everyone how hard is to make girls happy... mostly when shapes start to randomly appear and dissapear super fast... that stage will be my girlfriend! Great work and hope u could make it available on mobile! as i see it would be perfect for mobiles. cheers bro
The game was pretty hard...It kinda sucked when all of them were pink and then right as the timer went to zero some turned blue and I lost them. I like the pacing of the game and the art.
Very innovative mechanic, I think I have never played anything of the sort (or I can't remember).
However they are some problems, because those last-millisecond-shapeshifts where extremely annoying !
Maybe you could have stopped the random shape shifts during the last second? I also think there was too much time : what you do in the beginning is more or less useless.
I also saw that clicking on already-correct shapes didn't do anything : you could have been a little more evil and made them shape-shift back to a wrong shape, it would the "I'm just clicking randomly" strategy (which is actually pretty effective).
The game also gets a little repetitive after a while. I saw that once you have too few shapes, they start randomly moving : very good idea! This could have maybe been done a little better, by preventing the shapes from overlapping, and/or having the shapes "move" instead of teleporting (you could have had them bounce around : so much fun!) That allowed a change in the game pace which was cool !
You could also have different times of "mini-games" in the same theme to make the game less repetitive : some rounds, the shapes are all blue, and you have to find the single one that is the same shape as the queen, in a very limited amount of time. Unfortunately, that only works with a lot of shapes.
Anyway: Good job and good luck for your next ludum dare!
Hi @Swynfel =) yeah, all my friends have the same problem with the last-millisecond-shapeshifts hahaha, but I'm working to fix it =) and I like the idea to make others "mini-games" =D
I take all the feedbacks to work in a better version =D
This game is cute, but it's quite challenging! :O It feels like a whack-a-mole type of game, but totally suited for mobile (because we need more than just a mouse cursor to properly play the game :P).
I love this type of game, it's casual but quite addictive! :) Some sfx would make the game a nice release for mobile stores, and I hope you polish and release it! ;)
One of the few games where the shapeshifting is your enemy and out of your control! Really innovative!
I'm definitely reading too much into the cutesy game, but it could be seen as an allegory of keeping free speech (various colors/shapes) down to please an existing way of thought where failure causes citizens to leave the support of the queen.
As Swynfel pointed out, you could make it extra evil and have the correct shapes shapeshift as well! Or make it even more fast and it could easily become a twitchy game perfect for mobile devices!
This game has a lot of potential, I hope you improve and release it after the jam!

@cabezotta thank for the suggestion =)
@kestrelgames yeah it's a good idea O= could implement in a future update =)
I know my game is a little hard to play hahahaha I'm looking how to balance it =)
I have to say tough it gets hard fast.
Very cute game! And pink!
