Shape/Shift: Jam Edition
Shape/Shift is a vertical "shooter" where the aim is to deflect enemy attacks with your type changing shield in strange mix of Ikaruga and pinball.
This was made for the game jam "1-Bit Jam #2"
Controls
A and D - Move
SPACE - Change "world"
E - Use bomb
ESCAPE - Pause
Premise:
The spaceship you are piloting can switch between two worlds, enemies and bullets will appear as either hollow or solid depending on which world you are in.
You cannot shoot but you can use your shield to deflect enemy attacks back at them or ram into enemies with it as long as it is the same color.
At either side of the screen is the bomb meter, this charges as you repel attacks. A bomb will clear the screen of all enemies in that world only.
Taking damage from hollow attacks will damage your systems and cause them to fail, if your shield fails you can o longer damage enemies but can earn bonus points for survival.
This was finished next to the deadline so expect bugs (there's a reset button in the pause menu) it may also be updated periodically. feedback is very much appreciated, especially game balance, this is an idea I had a while ago and ideally the finished product would have points to buy upgrades in a rougelite fashion.
