Evaluation

Shape Shifter is a small casual indie game that released on July 7, 2016. The developer posted a minor patch on July 24, 2016 addressing audio, resolution options, and some menu preparation work. That is the last communication specifically about Shape Shifter. The two news posts from April 11, 2017 are promotional announcements for a completely separate game (Sol Ni Koro) by the same publisher, and contain no information about Shape Shifter's development. There is no DLC, no announced future content, and no post-launch update pattern beyond the single early patch. The game appears to have launched as a finished product — a simple casual game with four defined game modes — and has received no meaningful developer communication since July 2016. The game is complete as originally shipped.

About this game

Shape Shifter has four main game modes:

JUMP MODE - In jump mode you score 1 point per jump while avoiding the red blocks of death.
WAVE MODE - In wave mode you'll get 1 point for every evil red block that you leave behind.
CLEAN MODE - Clean mode introduces awesome punch green elements which you can use to push the evil red blocks. Each green element you touch gives you 5 points.
COMBO MODE - This game mode combines the other modes for a harder, faster, and stronger experience.

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
- Bruce Lee
