StealthShifter is a text-based game (and my first c++ project), where you have to unlock the door to get to the next level. Avoid enemies by changing your appearance.
Commands:
UP - Move up DOWN - Move down LEFT - Move left RIGHT - Move right SHAPESHIFT - Change appearance WAIT - Stand still QUIT - Quit game
How to run the game: Simply start the start.sh script (or start.bat on Windows) or execute "./StealthShifter start" in the console (if the script fails).
Changelog:
* Changed level 6 in order to make it possible to beat * Fixed bug in "line of sight" code * Finally compiled for Windows!!
Tried to download the source but couldn't get it working properly on Windows. It kept crashing when trying to iterate through the m_enemies vector. Haven't rated it yet, will come back if you get a windows build working :)
A single suggestion, would be to use the wasd-keys for movement - the udlr was a bit counter-intuitive for me, as I constantly triggered shapeshift while attempting to move down/south, or reversed left/right (due to the l/r key's relative positioning on the keyboard. Muscle memory is hard to defeat :-)
I liked how there were enough different mechanics, enemies and commands, to make the puzzles both varied and interesting.
I especially liked the levels where you had to take advantage of the terrain as well, to make the enemies "forget" you again.

I wish you would have opted for a WASD control scheme. Using ULDR tied to pressing the enter key gets a bit tedious after a while.
Also adding PC speaker-like beep sound effects would be a treat.
I'd rather not have to press enter after every command.
Kudos.
