This is shapeshift (I didn't know what to name this game :P) - my game for Ludum Dare 35!
I would like to say I am extremely happy and proud of this game. Last Ludum Dare was the best (ludum dare) game I have made in terms of game mechanics and innovation. This is the best game I have made visually, and musically ever (including games that weren't made for Ludum Dare), and I'm very happy because of it! :D
Tools Used:
Programming - Eclipse + Java
Graphics - GIMP
Sound & Music - Boss rc-505 loopstation
You need Java and a 1280x720 display or higher to run this game. I recommend listen to the game with headphones, so you can hear the bass. ;)
Note: I was making a playable in-game tutorial for this game, but it caused a game-breaking bug that I didn't know how to fix and it was easier for me to scrap it than to waste all this time trying to fixing it. So, enjoy this long wall of text instead. :P
Controls:
W: Jump/Climb up ladder

Tutorial:
Your player can be in one of three shapes at a time:
A square, a circle, or a star
As a square, you can move and climb ladders, but you cannot jump.
As a circle, you can't move horizontally on the ground, but you can jump. But,
you can move horizontally while in the air.
As a star, you can't move or jump at all, but you break glass blocks that are around you.
To turn into either a circle or a star, you need to have at least one circle or star orb. When you turn into a circle/star, you use up once circle/star orb.
The icons at the top left show how many orbs you have. Red is a circle orb, pink is a star orb. The icon below the star orb how many glass blocks you
have to break to complete the level.
So to turn into a circle, walk into a circle orb to collect it, and press Z. Then press W to jump. Remember, you can move horizontally in the air as a circle, but not on the ground.
So turn into a star, walk into a star orb to collect it. Then, walk up right next to the glass you want to break
Break all of the glass in a level to complete it.
There are 7 levels to complete.
(Note: If you are confused about a part of the game or tutorial, let me know in the comments and I will update the tutorial. Also, if you see any bugs or crashes, let me know. :D).
A timelapse of this game's creation on my youtube channel will be up very shortly. Enjoy the game! :D ^-^ XD
