Shiftania

A quest to take back what is rightfully yours...

Once you ruled the world - then they took your staff from you and threw you out, down into a ruined dungeon. Explore the dungeon to reclaim your staff, fight enemies and bosses, collect coins and get rich, shapeshift your way through traps and puzzles and get ready to die too many times to count!

IMPORTANT THINGS:

MOVEMENT:

-Move left and right using A and D, press space to jump.

-The dungeon is split into many zones. To go between zones of the dungeon using doors, stand near to the door (so that you are touching the door outline) and press tab. An open door means you can go to next dungeon zone, a closed door means you can go back to the previous zone.

ABOUT SHAPESHIFTING:

-Your inventory at the bottom of the screen has the tiles you can shapeshift other tiles into. Select an item in inventory by clicking on it or pressing numbers 1-5

-To shapeshift, press shift and then right click on the tile you want to shapeshift. It will be transformed into the tile selected in your inventory. To cancel a shapeshift press Ctrl

-As a side note, hidden spikes and spikes can be placed in 4 angles - once you select them in your inventory, use the arrow keys to choose placement orientation.

 -You have a limited number of times you can shapeshift tiles! Go to the shop to buy more shapeshifts or to buy new tiles or shields.

ABOUT THE SHOP:

-You can buy shapeshifts from the shop, the number of shapeshifts is the number of times you can use your shapeshifting ability before you need to buy more shapeshifts

-You can buy spikes, hidden spikes and other traps from the shop and shapeshift tiles in the game into them in order to kill enemies. 

-You can buy shields from the shop which will protect you from enemy sword hits

USES OF SHAPESHIFTING:

-Place spike, hidden spikes, axes, fire platforms etc to kill enemies

-You can shapeshift spikes into ground tiles in case you cannot jump over a row of spikes. You can also use shapeshifting to solve some puzzle elements later in the game.

-Hidden spikes can only be shapeshifted after they erupt from the ground (which they do when player or enemies come near).

NOTE: Each zone except the tutorial has two branching pathways for you to explore, which re-merge at a door and branch again in the next zone. On one of these pathways, you will find your staff. In the last zone, there are some bosses (enemy wizards) for you to beat before you proceed to the victory zone! Once you get your staff left click to shoot fireballs.

This game also has a save system.

WARNING: This game can get a bit rage-y and frustrating because of how hard it is, but trust me, that just adds to the satisfaction of beating it. Not that I was ever able to do that, and I'm the developer...
