Cowboy Shapeshiftin'

A short roguelite metroidvania where you can shapeshift into the bosses you defeat. 

(Sadly I can only get the windows build the work properly. Browser version works fine until I upload it, and then it has all sorts of weird bugs and bad performance.)

Gameplay:

Defeat bosses to be able to shapeshift into them, which will allow you to get to areas you previously couldn't.

Tips:

• If you're struggling, be sure to buy upgrades in the shop!
• Enemies should respawn if you go away and come back. They will occasionally drop health orbs.
• If you jump, you can shoot below you.

Controls (gamepad recommended):

• Jump/Select: space (keyboard), A (controller)
• Pause: escape (keyboard), Menu/Start (controller)
• Directions: WASD (keyboard), D-Pad (controller)
• Shapeshift: C (keyboard), Y (controller)
• Attack: ctrl (right) (keyboard), X (controller)
• Crouch (as cowboy): S (keyboard), D-pad down (controller)
• Aim diagonal (up): shift (left) (keyboard), LB (controller)
• Aim diagonal (down): shift+down (keyboard), LB+Down (controller)
• Interact: E (keyboard), Select (controller)
• Keyboard controls were inspired by Downwell's recommended buttons.
