Shape Up!

Shape Up!

Behemoths roam the land, having absorbed a countless numbers of shapes for their energy, they dominate this world, their mere presence draining all.

You are a small, but not incapable. You lack the strength to passively gain energy, but you are, for a brief moment, able to absorb the residual throwaways from behemoths. While their presence drains your energy, making you slow and weak, you can get back what you lost in this unfair exchange and rid the world of these monsters, so Shape up!

The Game:

Shape Up! is a 3rd person bosh rush shooter. The aim of the game is to defeat all the bosses!

Players and bosses can both adopt one of 3 states at a time. These are represented by Red, Green & Blue. Players have an energy bar which correlates to how much damage and speed they have. Their absorb ability, if used just before taking damage from a bosses attack, will recharge this energy meter, giving back the player speed and damage , temporarily. But this will only work if they player is in the same state as the attack they are attempting to absorb, represented by the above mentioned colours.
