Jimun and Chip present: Nukki the Shapeshifter
Nukki the Tanuki is a caretaker of the forest who is one day thrust into adventure when he discovers the shrine to the local diety destroyed.
Using magical leaves, take on different forms, reach new places, and track down the spirit of the forest and return peace to your home!
Basic Controls:
Controls can be modified, assigned to joystick/controller in the Options Menu.
(Update: Control binding bug has been fixed.)
Enter - Shapeshifter Menu
Arrows / Enter - Select / Confirm
Escape - Cancel
F2 - Options Menu
Arrows - Move
Shift - Run
Space - Jump
G - Melee Attack (when applicable)
C / V - Left and Right Paws (attack, pickup item)
Down - Pickup item
Controller (X-Input controls):
D-Pad - move/menu,
B - Cancel,
A - Confirm, Jump
LB - Sprint,
RB - Melee,
X/B - Attack/pickup
Production notes:
- We've run out of time way too soon, so made the best of the last of our time to complete the core gameplay.
- Due to unforseen circumstances there is little to no music; what we did use is recycled from our own library, or used under CC 3.0.
- The epic final boss battle is unfinished; just attack the boss to get the final form, so you may reach the trees above The Shrine.
- Minor glitches with checkpoints, melee attacking.
Tips and Spoilers:
- The goal is to restore the Forest Sprit to The Shrine. The Spirit has been displaced in an intially unreachable spot (above The Shrine); you need to fly to reach it.
- If you find the game too hard, why not try to swim across the lake as a tanuki! He can struggle across without fainting. There's an extremely useful form on the other side.
- Mouse can climb some walls. When jumping, try tapping down mid-air to get more distance.
- Fennec and Bird have melee attacks that use Stamina, but the Tanuki and Otter can throw magical leaves that uses Mana.
- Checkpoints are crucial. They restore HP and Stamina as well as keep track in case you faint.
- HP and Stamina upgrades may be found if you look around...
Final Notes:
- It's been an amazing 3 days working together on this project
- There may be flaws and bugs, but all in all we're proud of it.
- Happy Ludum Dare 35, Everyone!
