Pilot the prototype SLAM_SHIFT rocket through devilish tunnels and waves of enemies. Shift between rocket mode for maximum speed and manoeuvrability and the SLAMMER - an uncontrollable ball of bouncing destruction - to wipe out your enemies!
I never felt I had adequate control. The instadeath was no fun... could use some juice. Physics felt unnatural/arbitrary and made it hard to get into any form of "flow".
hard game! But nice graphics and sound. The idea is good too! Maybe you can show more that the game is a 2D side camera. At the begining I thought it was top-down camera and I didn't get it why you get attraction.
It feels like a complete game (not something made in a weekend) which is great. I like the switching between craft and ball modes. However I really struggled with the control of the craft and was constantly restarting. I think a few tweaks to handling and camera could make all the difference.
This is interesting, the tank controls took a bit to get used to but i enjoyed the challenge they presented. Turning into a ball and keeping the momentum is quite clever, too. I didn't notice there was a timer and was a bit disappointed when it went off though, maybe a separate mode without it could be fun. Nice work!
This is a nice one. The controls feel very intiutive and direct. The core mechanics (like physics, movement and collision detection) work very well. Music and graphics are also very nice. Keep on
Really cool game. Difficult as hell, and I really don't think I needed the added pressure of the time limit. It confused me when I spontaneously died immediately after restarting the checkpoint. Could also use an indicator of which way you're "facing" when in ball mode so that you can get ready to accelerate or not when reverting to ship mode. Probably don't need to restart the music on every death. I feel like I heard the first 2 seconds about 50 times. :-) Love the minimalistic graphics (the trail in particular). Great job with the theme: both modes are required and play differently. Overall, I had a good amount of fun and really like this entry.
It took me a long time, but I eventually was able to beat it. I love the idea and all of the mechanics were really awesome. The wall bouncing ball was fun to use! My only complaint is that the game was super hard to beat. It became frustrating to repeatedly die at the same part of the level. If you made the game a little easier I think it would be more enjoyable to play! Well done!
Really nice little game. Some things that could be improved: - Maybe the ship is turning too fast, I don't know. Sometimes it was too hard to control - The music really need to keep playing thought death, this way not only we get to listen to the whole song and not the same start over and over again as it doesn't "break" too much the flow. - The checkpoint could save the direction you're going when saving, this way you don't respawn in the default position. This is specially annoying in any parts that you need to go backwards as it adds unecessary turning.
But I really liked the idea and how you used the different shapes. The music is nice even if I couldn't listen to all of it. The graphs are really simple and neat. Nice game!
Well, I got to a point where I would die immediately after respawning, but until then it was pretty fun. Hard, but fun, and clever. Nice work, and congrats on finishing!
I really liked it, it was challenging! The camera was too far sometimes and the bright background made me stop playing after a while, but maybe because my weak eyes...
This was quite fun yet really difficult, the ship is turns really quickly so it's easy to crash into the walls. I do like how the ball has no control yet is indestructible while the ship has full control but gets destroyed from one hit, I can see speed run strategies from this kind of game!
Great graphics and music!... i think i encountered a bug in level 2 (or in general) where i restarted from a checkpoint multiple times, and the timer kept decreasing to 0, due to which i couldn't replay the game anymore.

I like the differents killers you made, black and white walls. I really like white walls like mini golf.
Level design is good! (shortcuts, black way, etc.).
Good job!
Well done!
