Fight your way through a randomized dungeon filled with monster. Use your shapeshifting abilities to transform your hero from HUMAN into a SPECTRE, DEMON or ANGEL to kill your enemies, sneak through the dungeon and heal yourself to make it to the magic portal!
Made by Phantom Lab with Unity 5, Photoshop, SFXR, Reason 5 and Audacity. The Source Package includes the code as well as all the art assets that can be seen in the game. The sprites and textures come in Photoshop's PSD format and include all the layers (usually one layer per color + some post-processing).
I like the claustrophobic feeling of the dungeon, very atmospheric. The big red guy looks great, made me laugh.A little hard to see what's ahead of you when moving downscren with the interface element at the bottom. Impressive work.
Reminded me of a top-down Daggerfall, which is no bad thing! Apart from that though, it still needs a lot of polish. The combat felt dull - the little orange damage indicators aren't enough to let you know what's going on, and the lack of animation or feedback doesn't help either. Another observation - it doesn't make sense that I can walk down those narrower corridors when in the big red guy form. A solid start here, but could do with quite a bit more work I think. Ambient music was nice.
I like the graphics, but I have a few other problems with the game: There wasn't any attacking animations for the enemies. The 2nd form seemed to be missing a sprite. It was too easy to die.
I LOVE the aesthetic. It's very PS1, which I have a soft spot for, so maybe I'm biased. But it gives this great sense of claustrophobia. I'd love to see this expanded into something bigger - I think the AI responding to the player state is great, but could be expanded to be really interesting. Great work!
Very impressive amount of work you accomplished! Your skill level at making games is great, but honestly I didn't find this fun or innovative. Very sluggish controls. Still, you did amazing work for 48 hours.
I didnt quite see the point of the different heros, but perhaps you ran out of time? Good concept though, and nice mood with the audio and cramped dungeon size
Nice idea with the downward view, it was an interesting play! The controls were okay, but it took way too long to kill enemies, and you moved very slowly. It just feels very "sluggish". But I liked the pixel characters mixed with the 3D environment, very different! Nice work :)
Love the graphic style and the overall look. I didn't realize that I was being hit by an enemy until I was already dead!

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
The gameplay is enjoyable. The music is a little sub-par just being 4 notes but is pretty ambient considering. Mechanics were thought out and timeout between shape shifting was a nice touch. Great entry ;D
Very nice!!! A top down slightly 3D look!!! Very nice and a little creepy (a good way creepy) I died a few times VERY EASILY lol but I had a great time playing
