Team-switching platformer/shooter game created in Unity Engine
Gameplay
The goal of this game is to be the last man standing amongst several AI-controlled enemies of Red and Blue varieties. The twist is that you switch teams every ten seconds. Attempting to kill an enemy on your team spawns a new enemy. You must find creative ways to eliminate all enemies in the level.
The game is slow but actually pretty fun. I think you put everything on the gameplay and it's enjoyable. But after some level, there isn't a end. I killed all the ennemy, I didn't really understand. And i don't think the game is really about shapeshift but whatever, it's fun so no problem!
It took me some time to figure out why more robots kept spawning. After that the game felt like a pretty neat puzzleish game, although I'd suggest lowering the colour-swap time from 10 seconds. It was cool how the music changed with that, though!
Really nice concept! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/F-G7DKrQW4g
After some time figuring out how this works, it is a pretty enjoyable game! First I wondered whether this might be a "local multiplayer" kind of thing because of the duplicate key bindings. The gameplay felt really smooth and I like the music, it fits with the general mood. Especially with this being made in Unity though, I think there could've been a little more to it, both functionality-wise and graphically.
Really like the floaty controls and the floaty camera. Nice concept of only being able to hit like-color enemies. Additional colors might make for some more varied gameplay.
I got to a level with platforms, defeated all the enemies and then nothing happened.
This is an interesting idea and I think that as a proof of concept the game does a good job. Making the bullets keep travelling adds the main challenge, but I think there are more fun ways to do that. If you can find them, you are on to something with this. It is an idea that can be applied to a wide range of game types, so don't just limit yourself to side scrolling shooters. Try to think of the best genre it could apply to. A multiplayer FPS that worked this way would be crazypants.
