#Transmuto

WASD to move, mouse to look/aim, mouse left to shoot your shape.

Collect polygons dropped, use them to shift_shapes™ (Q/E).

Your enemies are deadly, shoot them, they are only vulnerable to their own shape.

Nice idea! Controls and the camera take a little bit of getting used to, but it's pretty fun when you do. I wish it was a bit longer with some variation between rounds, because the concept works really well.

Thank you. I unfortunately didn't have time to balance the camera/physics and add variation to levels. It was on my plan however I spent like 5+ hours debugging a simple mistake on the first day.

However the game ending after 2 levels was a bug, so I fixed it now, it was supposed to have 4, with the last one being infinitely long and getting harder every second.

Nice clean graphics and relaxing music ... can't get on with the controls and basically just died overtime before i could figure out what was going on

nice idea, i like "the vulnerable to own shape only" restriction...
orientation is a problem as there is nothing static to refer to, enemies are too quick and numerous - maybe start with just one to get into it...
good base for a good game! 3/5

Game is fun, but I have no idea how the interaction between shooting at the red things and them dying works. Movement was pretty nice once I figured it out, the graphics look nice and coherent. Sound is nice but gets kind of irritating after a while.

Very fun and challenging, and i liked the 2D/3D mash

Perpective and aesthetic are really interesting. Good concept which could be more pleasant with more features. Relaxing. Well done ++

kinda hard to see backside, and non-lit shading make it hard to judge distance.

I agree with Dasginger: the camera is tricky at first, I thought it was a topdown shooter sorta thing. Other than that, the game is almost Zen, very fun to play

It wont let me connect to your webpage?

@Jupiter_Hadley sorry about that, I was messing with the server today, setting up the domain/ssl certs. Should be okay now?

Nice game! My only issue is that the lack of shading/reference points on the floor makes it hard to tell where you are/where you're going but cool overal.

Cool concept!! I think this game would rock as a phone app!

I tried to play this game, however couldn't get past the title screen. I might have been a bit of an idiot with it, but no matter what I tried there was nothing.

@QuestionableQuality hmm, thats strange. I tested it with a few browsers on win/linux and it worked everywhere. Maybe your browser doesn't support pointerlock? You have to allow it to grab your pointer.
