"Shape game without great name" is my second LD's game. I really like shoot'em ups / sidescrollers. Start: Saturday circa 14 GMT+1 Finish: Sunday 19 GMT+1.

Your destiny is survive in endless space.
Triangles destroy triangles
Circles destroy circles
Rectangles destroy rectangles

Change shape
Q - triangle
W - circle
E - rectangle
You move using mouse :)

Used:

Game Maker: Studio
BFXR - sfx
PISKEL - graphic
Bosca Ceoil

Enjoy!

Interesting implementation of the theme, the game is fun, but the audio is a bit annoying. Keep it up!

That music though! I am a fan of the old-school sound FX. Great job. I loved the triple shot ability. Awesome!

Wish the audio loop wasn't so short. It was also frustrating that the bullets destroyed each other, lots of times it felt like I was hitting an enemy but not destroying it (but it was probably that it just fired its own bullet).

A little bit more progression in terms of patterns and fixing the above I think would have made a big difference!

Loved the graphics style, but it got quite repetitive. More powerups and content (of course hard in limited time) would have made it better. Good work though!

Fun, but hard, I liked the music. Good job on your entry! :)

I really like the star parallax in the background.
I'm not such a fan of the slightly discordant music, sorry, haha.

The music was quite annoying and disharmonic, but the game itself was fun!

Well done! The only irritating thing is that I cannot see my score after death.

nice idea! would have liked to see more progression in the gameplay, maybe layered shapes (have to kill first shape before second shape), or more shapes?

Hard! Would've preferred if q,w,e actually shot different shapes instead of just changing the auto-firing weapon :)
Good adaption to the theme though
And yeah music volume way too loud
