Our second Ludum Dare Game is finally here! Shift Smash is all about the randomness, the player wonders around the map, killing everything in it's way while his body/shape changes! First you are a flying bird with a gun, next thing you know you are a half soldier, half fish!
You move with a - w - d - space
Your special ability is activated with ctrl
Your attack is activated with mouse 1 click (left click)
I like the concept of shapeshifting every 30 seconds, and that affecting your abilities. It still needs some polishing for jumping/aiming and stuff, but with a little bit more of hours put in, it could be a good platformer/puzzle game :)
lol You totally nailed the theme, and overall the game was good. I could actually see this gimmick being able to carry a full game if you really planed it out.
Really like the idea! I found it kinda tricky to attack, though I was on a touchpad, so maybe just the click input was dodgy! A really original take on the theme.
