The Earth is being invaded by a legion of terrible aliens, with the most different shapes, thirsty for our resources (And probably, to drink our blood in bowls of crystal) and now, it's up to you protect all of us.

For this purpose, our qualified trainees built, with the most advanced technology of the secret society Blablablu, an extraordinary spacecraft capable to change it shape and block any alien threat (Ps.: Only with the same shape).

Join the battle, disintegrate some aliens, conquer your own records, laugh like a madman and, mainly, change your shape everytime!!

FEATURES

1 - An unique and beautiful spatial scenery, where you can enjoy the stars, while listening to the melody of destruction;

2 - An unique and magnificient mode, but don't cry, our specialists report that others will come (Any day);

3 - One secret spacecraft that came with 3 different shapes (Non-refundable);

4 - And many, many aliens for your enjoyment (Currently, our money only allowed to hire three aliens for the show).

The art is nice but the font is hard to read sometimes. It's very challenging.

Really great for a first game. The idea is perhaps simple, but it works, and it is fun to play. Well done.

I love the progression in difficulty, simple yet challenging.

A simple idea executed really well. Reminds me of Super Hexagon a bit.

Well done, good graphics, nice sound, challenging gameplay in an entertaining fashion, I had fun.

Playing this was a good time.You made a well-rounded experience with the splash screen, scoreboard, gameplay, etc. Neat idea to have the ship change form, but I have to admit that I would expect a ship to be able to shoot something. Great job overall!

Thank you so much for all rates and feedbacks until now, I'm really appreciating! ^_^

Humm, seeing well, really reminds Super Hexagon hehe

Based on this version, I'm already improving everything and soon (Some few months) I'll release a version for mobile on Play Store and App store (After)

The new version will have this "Shape Invasion" as a mode. Now, what I can say is that the main/store mode will have other ships to choose/buy (With money got in the game) and the idea of Kashank (Be able to shoot) will be implemented

Finally, more one time, thanks to everybody! :D

You did a great job with this! It's a simple idea that's really well executed, with an 'easy to grasp but hard to master' control scheme. The graphics and the music are superb, too, especially for a game made in such a short amount of time.

I know it's a small point, but it's nice that the different-shaped aliens all had a different sound effect when spawning in. It's a great way of quickly conveying information to the player, and it's little touches like that which make all the difference.

Good luck with your entry - I hope you'll make more Ludum Dare games in the future! (Plus - if that really is your name, it's awesome!)

Cool! This is a lot of fun - simple concept but it gets challenging really quickly. Having different sound cues for the different alien ships was a nice touch. Good art as well. Great job.

Nice job! I would suggest a larger difficulty curve in the game, but the gameplay was good, as well as the art, and the audio (even though the music wasn't yours).

For a first game, this is pretty well done! I had a lot of fun with it :D
Imo the difficulty could increase a bit faster, but maybe that's just a personal preference.

Good job!

Wow, a really polished game! Nice work!
The keys aren't chosen well though, on my keyboard Z and X are switched so it's not as easy to play :P

Pretty simple but fun concept. I do like how there's a bit of a delay when the enemy spawns gives you some extra time to prepare for the next attack.
