Help Mister Square save Shape Land by returning the super spinning power artifacts. Avoid touching all enemies.
Press space to start. Use arrow keys to move.
Enemies:
Magenta Trapezoid - Moves in a straight line and blocks your way.
Yellow Circle - Randomly changes direction.
Green Triangle - Lives in the water and shoots at you.
Orange Pentagon - Randomly changes position and shoots in four directions.
Only runs in 1280x720 resolution! I recommend playing the Windows build, as the animation seems to be much smoother than the HTML5 web build.
For official Ludum Dares, I've used Unity eight times and Stencyl once. I felt that it was time to learn something new. I started out using the Godot engine, but gave up on it after a few hours of having difficulties understanding how the collision system works. I had completed some GameMaker tutorials a few years ago, but this was my first full GameMaker game.
Tools used:
GameMaker - game engine
Inkscape - Vector art
Gimp - scaling graphics
BFXR - sound effects
GarageBand - music composition
Audacity - voice recording and sound modifications
