FLESH TO STONE is a top down survival game where you have the ability to shift into stone form. In stone form you are invincible to all enemies BUT you lose power to remain in stone form. Collect the blue power gems to replenish your power.
FLESH TO STONE was made in Haxe with HaxeFlixel. I used the help of bfxr and GarageBand to make the audio for the game. I used Hexels 2 and paint.NET to create the graphics.
Linux is untested currently and there are hiccups in HTML. The best performances are using the native OSX and Windows builds.
PATCHED: Fixed the control issues in some browsers.
PATCHED ONE MORE TIME: Allowing the game to go fullscreen

Loved the music and sound effects in the game. The atmosphere is also really good. The game was a bit on the difficult side for me, might be nice to have a health/heart system. The bouncing intro is also a really nice touch
Love the music! Gameplay was nice, but could use a bit more activity.
Holy crap, rough but fun!
Controls are very responsive, though character hitbox felt a bit...loose somehow (as in I got hit without thinking I would be at times).
Simple take on the theme but nicely done, kudos.
Music is particularly moody, and game is challenging, great job. :)
It feels a little harsh to die on contact with any enemy, but I can also see how it makes sense and the game feels otherwise balanced.
Graphics look great, music and sfx are also great, and it's fun to play! I guess my only other criticism is that it lacks a little depth.
Maybe you could expand it into a dungeon crawler, so eventually you defeat a room and move onto the next.
I played this game an thought it was a jam. The way the enemies came at you was really well put together. The difficulty didn't start out too slow or ramp up too quickly. The controls are snappy and responsive. The game ran well. The audio was good and the art was crisp, clean, and colorful. The key game mechanic (turning into stone) was implement well in relation to the challenges the game threw at me. And lastly, the game is very well polished, from the camera shake to all the little animations and the "noooo" slo motion you get when you lose after getting to 1000 points. One of best submissions so far for me!
The core mechanic and enemy movement works very well. Would be nice expanded to a series of rooms you had to escape.
The mechanic of having to keep your power up worked really well. Nice twist on a simple idea. Also, very well polished - graphics and audio were good!
The gameplay and the music were very fun. The Graphics very simple but not bad. Good work.
I appreciate that so much of the game is built on playing with avoidance. the arts quite nice, and the challenge is well tuned. Nice work!
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
Woa, very addictive game! Love it!
Maybe you can think on adding something to the game, like random obstacles on the game (they can be fixed for sometime), so the character should avoid them when running, but can use it to fool the enemies when trying to escape ;)
This is cool, it was fun turning into stone to pass through the death rays. I felt that it would be cool to slide a bit when turning into stone - the stop on shift right now is quite abrupt.

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.
The game was a lot of fun to play. I especially liked the soundtrack.
