This is a great idea and a cool take on the theme, I think it could be a fun multiplayer too.
Great Job :)
I had fun playing it. It was a bit hard to meet the evolving condition. I got into pentagon anyhow. Music was well fitted too.
Cool idea but I couldn't really figure out the goal, perhaps a better tutorial is required. I like the sound effects/juice though :)
the goal was to get the highest score and youll get more points the more you grew but i didnt manage to add that in time. thanks for playing!
Interesting idea, the mechanic was a bit confusing at first but I watched the video which helped. I think a gif of that video could be put in the game in the future (I assume it was made after the submission closed)!
It was fun overall, I think with some polish on the ability and the mechanic it has a lot of potential to be an addictive game!
thanks! I plan to make a tutorial on the next update along many other things to finish the game
Hello fellow shape-based developer! Slicing through enemies as the triangle was fun, but it felt too difficult to get kills as a square, imo. Maybe I'm just bad haha.
Thanks! The square attack collision is bigger than the hit animation thats a issue i didnt discover until after the jam you can hurt enemies by standing more far away
The development period that this game took and how well it is made just shows that this may be one of the top 100 games out of the rest seven thousands.
Wishing you the best.
I invite you to play my game as well.
Thank you so much, your comment really made my day! I will defiantly play your game thoroughly
Honestly, the perfect jam game. Every element, from the visuals, to the sound, to the gameplay, is straight to the point and streamlined for ease of use. Well done!
thanks and im glad you had a good time!
good game agario like
post effects and music are good all feel good cool
not quite clear how damage and xp works
I did them is a rush so even I dont get how they fully work xD. But basically if youre a smaller shape you do more damage and get more energy and its the opposite if youre bigger
Fun game! Took me a bit to realize how to evolve but once I understood it it was awesome. Would have loved even more shapes but awesome work for a game jam!
cool game! there are enemies that are the same shape and color of me, kinda confusing but good job!
thanks for playing the game! Maybe adding an ourline on the player would fix that issue
Nice take on the tastyplanet/agar genre, I thought the music was particularly good!
Would be very grateful if you tried our game!
Thanks! Ill defiantly check it out
Simple but fun! Like others, watching the video helped me understand evolving. I also wish the action button was on the mouse. If there was a score system, I would have played it longer. My favorite attack was actually the triangle.
Thanks! I'll defiantly add those to my next update
The game is great! I did not find the evolve mechanic intuitive, but after watching the video, it was really fun to mess around with evolving. The style of the game is incredible, and the unique abilities are very entertaining.
Thanks for playing!
It was enjoyable although I suck a lot <3
Sound effects are really niceee
thanks! I do realise now that the game is a bit hard and the instructions not that clear
Loved it.
At first, my reaction was "Is this just another Agar.io spinoffs?"
But after played it quite a bit, it's actually fun <3 even though I don't know where's the "scale" system implemented (cmiiw)
the scale is when supposed to happen when you turn into more angled shapes you also grow by a lot. Hope that clarified and thanks!
ah I see sorry for not knowing that lol
A simple but fun game! Getting to play as each different shape was an interesting experience. I think the concept could be taken much further too but for the time frame of the game jam it's well made!
thank you very much! I plan to do another update to finish the game fully
I really enjoyed the game and while I couldn't figure out how to kill pentagons (skill issue on my part), i really enjoyed the evolution of the game and how the gameplay loop worked!
pro tip the square skill collision is big enough to do damage even if the sprite doesnt quite hit the pentagon. Also they are vulnerable after shooting their bullets for a solid 3 seconds
ooh!!
This game is really good, it's a solid example of using simple assets but using other methods to create stunning VFX which I think you nailed here. I enjoyed being the blue triangle, the mechanic of dashing around through enemies was honestly really fun, and I think you can do a lot with the mechanic alone in another game. Amazing job!
Ngl the triangle had the ability i liked the most. I think a game mode where you play the final stage as the triangle would be fun too
I really like the look of this and the soundtrack fits very well! But it needs a tutorial or at least a decent explanation on the page, because I don't know what I'm supposed to do after having filled up on energy from the dots. Any contact with the enemy just turned them red an then they killed me... thing is, I really like the presentation so if I get an explanation I want to try again! :-)
You need to beat and eat the drop of an stronger enemy to evolve. I was really in a rush to finish the game and overlook such details. Thanks for bringing it up!
Also added a link of a video showcasing that!
