#90 – Free Video Game
changeType(),
Hack Your Way Out
It's
hard to find a game with an idea you haven't seen before. Maybe it's
been done, but I have yet to see something like changeType() again.
The game
is a puzzle platformer built around a single mechanic: you can mix
the properties of the objects on the screen. This works as follows:
you take object A (the blocks that make up the floor) and an object B
(like a row of spikes). Then every instance of those objects exchange
their properties. So now, the floor kills you but the spikes don't.
Besides
that, the game is a straight forward platformer, and that's good. The
changing mechanic is so broad, and you have so many elements to
combine, that it would be daunting if your character did more.
And the
graphic design is the thing that ties everything together, mixing
regular video game graphics with flashes and glitches when you use
your powers. So, it looks nice, and it play awesome.
