Intro

Look out! Some nasty shapes are out to get you. Cyber Shapes is an endless twin-stick shooter where you will clash with a (relatively) wide range of enemy types. Your only hope for survival is by harvesting their power.

Helpful hints

- The game is playable with mouse & keyboard, as well as a controller. However, it is an aim based game and there was no time to add aim assist or lock on for controller.
- Use your harvest ability to finish off enemies that are at low health.
- If they leave a core on the ground, let it grow for a while before you pick it up, you'll get much greater benefit from it!

Extra notes

- This was by far my largest scope I've undertaken in my Ludum Dare career. I normally have all my gameplay done about halfway through the jam, and use the rest of the time for polish. This game had new enemy types coming in just hours before submission. So I apologize in advance if my polish, bug squashing, and difficulty tuning aren't up to par.
- As per usual for me, I'm opting out of audio ratings since I used third-party music. If you'd like to critique my audio work, please let me know in the comments!
