Hello!
This is my first Ludum Dare and I had a great time participating! The game I made is called Shicken and lets you control a character that can shoot (and push, throw and glide) things to transform/shapeshift them into other things. This is required to progress through the levels of this 2D jump and run platformer. It features a tutorial and 7 levels. Keyboard and Gamepad controls are supported, the controls are found in the main menu. The game was made using Unreal Engine 4, which is for sure not the best engine for 2D games, but that just makes me more interested in showing what's possible. Not sure what else to say... I hope you have fun with the game! :)
Some additional information since some people have problems:
- The number keys 1,2,3,4 change the weapon type (Blocks, Chickens, Feathers, Slimes can be transformed. The freeze shot just works on slimes)
- Coins don't do anything and are just there to guide you
- Chicken can be picked up with E and thrown with E. They trigger switches that open gates
- The goal in every level is to reach the blue portal, often accomplished by transforming something in the level and using it
