Shapeshifter
A downloadable game for Windows
Shapeshifter is a simple puzzle platformer made in ~4 days for Weekly Game Jam 128.
You can solve puzzles by changing the character's appearance through absorbing enemies.
There are 10 short levels in the technical demo, mostly tutorials on controls but the last one is a little bit trickier. The demo can be finished in ~5-10 minutes.
For this jam I chose to focus on the technical aspect rather than the graphical, that's why there's not much original sprites. Maybe I'll add some along with levels if I work on it again.
Keyboard and controller are both supported.
Keyboard : A-S to move, W to jump, left click to transform and shoot, right click to untransform.
Controller : Left Joystick to move, A to jump, X to transform and shoot, B to untransform

This is a pretty cool game! The puzzles were pretty cool and the controls were minimal and straightforward. It was a fun time!
If there was one thing that I’d improve, it’d be that the transformation detection seems kind of hit-or-miss. Sometimes I would be right beside the object I wanted to transform into, and clicking the left mouse button or pressing the XBox “X” button multiple times wouldn’t let me transform right away.
Overall, it was great! 😊
Thank you very much for playing :)
I noticed that bug with the transformation in my last batch of tests, but I couldn't figure out exactly where it went wrong in my code :( Anyway, I'll try to fix that asap.
Thank you again for playing !
