4/19 Update: I've been notified that the UI wasn't clear enough, and thus the game "seems" like bugged. So I worked 10+ more hours to redesign the UI, and fixed a bug mentioned at comment #7. Please try the post-compo version if you got confused in the old version.
How to Play ----------- 1. Collect resources with different tools/classes; 2. Use your resources to upgrade to bigger inventory. 3. Collect more resources!
Controls ----------- You may need to click on the game screen before the keys can work
[Q],[W]: Shapeshift [Tab]: Open menu. (To upgrade inventory for more space.) Left-Click: Boost [1],[2],[3]: Switch Classes (only available in the post-compo version.)
I really love the graphical style of this one, it seems to me like the game wasn't that responsive sometimes where it would not let you collect any resources for some reason. The overall idea is really great and quite different.
Really fun and great idea! I found myself not able to collect a lot of the time then able to again seemingly randomly, though. I suppose this is the inventory as you said, but I didn't get what caused it to have free space again.
Hmmmm, I'm stuck. My current set of resources does allow neither upgrading nor gathering more, but I can't find anything I could gather anymore (e.g. there are rock and trees, but I already have the maximum amount of wood and stone).
Moving in one direction shows me the same resource patterns again and again, so I guess the landscape is finite and wraps around?
I really liked the art style and pacing of the game. The gather stuff, level up, gather more stuff, kind of gameplay is well done. There was definitely a lot of confusion for the compo version, though, and a lot of information to digest right off the bat for a game with such simple gameplay.
Oh hey I remember seeing this on the LD front page before. Feels pretty smooth, I like the transition when switching modes. I played both the original and post-compo and I totally agree with the changes you made. I cruised around for a long time wondering why I wasn't collecting any wood or ore for way too long...
Not bad. Still a little confused as to the object of the game. Guess it's just to try and level up by collecting resources and upgrading inventory space? It was fun nonetheless and had nice art! Good work :)
Thats a very good idea for a collect resources game, very good. Just try to make level progression goes a little faster for the experience don't get boring fast too Also, try to implement some adicional challenge for the player while he tries to get resources to complete! But the game is very good and its mechanic can really has a lot of potential upgrades, good job!
I really liked this game ! The shape shifting is really smooth and logical. The music is calm and the graphical style is really cute. A good game :) (I tried the post-compo version)
Nice concept and very cute graphics. It can be a bit repetitive, but progression helps by letting you discover new resource/creature types as you level up.
Reminds me a great deal of the endless clicker games, but with a heck of a lot less clicking! Really neat idea, well executed, and fits the theme perfectly.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35. Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
It's a bit confusing. How do I kill bosses? Why do 1/2/3 not work? Also, the Tab screen covers up my resource meters so I can't see what I have available to spend. Maybe I didn't get far enough, but there doesn't seem to be much of a challenge.
Great compo entry, the amount of content is amazing for a 48 hours solo work, the controls are tight and the concept is innovative, unique and theme-related. Aesthetics were pretty pleasant and I really enjoyed playing it, it's addictive and fun.

the aesthetic really pairs with the slow paced gameplay
When resources reach inventory limit, it would not be able to collect more. Sorry I didn't make it clear.
Moving in one direction shows me the same resource patterns again and again, so I guess the landscape is finite and wraps around?
Thanks for the information. I have fixed this bug in post compo version.
Overall, I still thought it was a solid game.
BGM is so cute lol
I played the original compo version and with the description provided above, I had no problems understanding and using the UI.
Really well done, though I never found out how to kill a boss ;c
Resources get so hard to find that it gets boring sometimes, but love the feel of exploration, great music
Nice work!
The post compo only is playable due to the shortcut
I think its better to only have 4-5 shapeshift and no sub categorie
Its a great game
(I tried the post-compo version)
Good job!
It's really interesting to use the theme in this way, it feels like playing a pure essence of a crafting RPG game, good job!
