In the crowd, amongst the throng of citizens lie a killer who looks like any other... Your job is to track him down, and eliminate him.
MURDERSHIFTERS takes place in a world where MURDERSHIFTERS roam the streets. These vile creatures kill their victims and then utilize their energies to shapeshift into them.
Every MURDERSHIFTER is affected differently by MURDERSHIFTING. It can range from becoming slow and fat to becoming red with power. Use these side-effects to differentiate MURDERSHIFTERS from the crowd, and take them out with as few innocents caught in the crossfire as possible!

P.S. To download the source code, click "more" on the GameJolt page and the option to download it should appear.
P.P.S. If you have trouble in windowed mode, try fullscreen mode, and vice versa.
P.P.P.S. There are two types of builds on GameJolt. The Unity3D Web Player version on GameJolt(when it goes up) and the zip with "post-ld" in its name are both done after the Ludum Dare compo deadline. They contain a small bugfix for the shooting, but do not rate based on these ones. The Unity3D Web Player version on this page as well as the normal zip download are done within the time limit. Also, while I'm at it, there is a version on itch.io. That one is fully up to date, so do not rate that one either.
tl;dr Just rate based on either the Unity3D Web Player version on this page or MURDERSHIFTERS_x86.zip on the GameJolt page. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Easily the best game I have played so far, Well done!. The only gripe I have is that it is VERY difficult to get a clear shot on the monster without killing a civilian or five.
But please let me repeat, this is a great game, loads of polish and smooth game play.
Very fun to play. Laughed when I got eaten for the first time. It is very punishing though and really unfair as its really hard to shoot the murdershifter without killing everyone. Well done!
What I liked : - Fun murder party idea - Fit te theme very well - good realisation
What imo could be improved : - make the murdurer harder to find bu easier to kill (to lower the skill cap needed by the player the hunt the murdrer) - A message the congrat the player after beating the last level (to give a "completed feeling").
Overall a very good realisation of a neat idea. Thanks for the game !
We hate serial killers 'cause they steal our job ... (poor civilians ...) Amazing game doing fast ! Very fun to play !

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35. Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
this is one of the best i played yet - my only complaint is that there are too many civilians to get a clear shot - keep working on this one - great job
Really innovative idea. However: I understand that the challenge is to kill the bad guy without killing too many civilians, but I thought the gun we had at hand was way too messy. Especially considering that the bad guy needs a few shots to actually die. But still solid entry for a compo!
But please let me repeat, this is a great game, loads of polish and smooth game play.
