This is a great concept! The guard were a bit too easy but still, great entry!
Nice one! This a fun take on the theme, and I like the visual style. Being able to pick up new things to shift into was a nice mechanic, though it could have been developed a bit more.
Pretty nice game and the shapeshifting as the stealth mechanic is clever. Would be interesting to see it expanded into a full game as this teaser has left me wanting more.
Running the linux version produced the following log (ommited file paths in the beginning). I only have one screen, not two, btw:
[...]
displaymanager : xrandr version warning. 1.4
client has 2 screens
displaymanager screen (0)(VGA-0): 1280 x 1024
Using libudev for joystick management
Importing game controller configs
Aborted
The windows version did run in wine, didn't show any text though.
I really liked it. It has a certain charm to it.
I liked the fact that you could 'learn' knew things to shift into, and that it helped you if you got caught a fair bit.
Great game!
That's a smart mechanic !
Would imagine how it would expand to more decors
although I see a challenge in the possible confusion
so maybe moving into other environments than houses
(where it's perfectly suitable for most cases to be either a chair or a sink)
and if you decided to stick with houses then then the decor style can be included (you can't put an aluminium chair in a Victorian classic study room)
but then again that might cause confusion (except for interior designers maybe )
Good game overall, it was short though .
Very cute game. I liked it a lot, but I just wish it wasn't so short! Accumulating objects with the scanner would have been really cool to be expanded on. The time crunch gets to everyone though :) I enjoyed this a lot, even still.
Good job! The shift button didn't seem to work for me, but I could turn into the default objects. I was also able to complete the game :)
Hi Chaserbrown - thanks for playing the game!
As for your trouble with shift, I'd bet that you are not holding the shift button long enough. The sound effects for holding shift are a bit misleading, which has been confusing people. You need to keep holding it until a +1 appears.
yippee!! I <3 that! Also this is the game that I was hoping to play with this theme! Just great! 6/5!
Cool idea. I think there needs to be some additional feedback when scanning the items. Nice job, would've liked more!
I like the idea! It is funny because somebody had exactly the same at my game jam but we didn't do it. The music is nice!
It would be really nice to have keyboard shortcuts for transformations.
haha PROP HUNT FEEEELZ!!! I have always fancied stealth type of games... I love it xD especially the great details on everything..
It could have been more awesome if the font used were also pixel-themed for consistency...
Level design and AI sophistication is dope!! NICEONE :D
Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
nice work~ music's change built a great rhythm change,let the new level more vivid~ besides a little bit short + when i shifting the guards will look at other directions.other all done great!and these pixel items really built very wonderful and full of design.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Rly nice game! Like the tiny Graphics and all the Features. Also greate Music! Well done ^^
