Shifter the Robot is a Shape Shifter - use your special powers to guide him in changing the color and shapes to match those falling towards the bottom of the Universe, which is represented by your screen.
This game take a couple levels to get going, but it gets very hard. Enjoy!!
Left Arrow/A = Move Lane Left
Right Arrow/D = Move Lane Right
Up Arrow/W = Make Shifter Paint Shape
Down Arrow/S = Make Shifter Shift the Shape
Space Bar = Hurl a nuclear Shape bomb up to the heavens.
* NOTE * I did not do all the audio, just some of it, so I opted out of this category. Thanks.
I love that little robot! He is adorable. It's kind of frustrating when you have to go back to level 1 every time you die though because after the later levels level 1 is tedious. Sound Effects provide great feedback.
Fun game, but you're supposed to make all the assets yourself for the compo (I assume you didn't make all the sound since you said so in the description)
Nicely done. I enjoyed watching the little robot at his work. I'd recommend moving him a little off to the side though, so that he doesn't obscure the shape/color he's working on.
Cute little game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/KyB-5ZqWXwk
A cool game, and very cute. Along with the charming graphics, the main concept is really solid - and switching lanes, colours and shapes is a lot more taxing on the brain than I thought it'd be, in the later levels! The unlockable themes are a nice bonus, too. Great job!
Nice game, It took me awhile to figure out I needed to shoot not let it drop onto a match but once I did it really got going.
It'd be nice if the robot went under the blocks, it's unclear if thats the design intent since you can see some of them and it's starts out color based.
A very nice little game, except the first few minutes which are dull. Also, you should really only use things you made in 48hrs for the compo. This belongs in the Jam as-is.
Interesting. Took me a while to figure out the controls. Initially I thought I had to hit D to travel to the change-shape-box and A to modify it. Worked it out in the end though. I was expecting multiple boxes to show up at an earlier level, and the game was a touch slow with the pacing in the first two levels.
the volume of sound effects was a little uncomfortable at times, but overall an interesting idea. its a really slow start though, initially I thought it wasn't working properly as there is no hint that mechanics are being introduced slowly, or what the controls refer to. So I was trying to change shape/lane on the first level.

Good job

Nice idea and good implementation! Good game.
I liked the music also!
