▌ Title: "Shapeshifter" Type: PC Demo Date: 15-Oct-2025 ░▄▌
░■▄ ▄■▀▀
Here's our entry for the Flash Party 2025 PC Demo competition held in
Buenos Aires, Argentina on 18-Oct-2025.
It had to be completely rushed (again lol) so we'll most likely release
a final, more polished version on our website in the near future.
This final version will likely also support Windows.
Stay tuned.

MADBIT: Direction, music, 2D art, additional code.
Note: The credits panel contains a behelit drawn by an unknown artist.
We had no time to draw our own, sorry. =]

This was created using Vexel, Row's game engine, which was rewritten
from scratch. This is (again lol) the engine's maiden voyage.
Run with:
./shapeshifter [--windowed] [--resolution=RES] [--windowSize=SIZE]
Use ./shapeshifter.macos on MacOS.
Command-line options:
--windowed: Runs in windowed mode. Default is fullscreen.
--resolution=RES: Adjust the resolution of the renderer and CRT emulation.
RES can be one of [row, qhd, hd, fhd] or {width}x{height}.
Default is "qhd".
--windowSize=SIZE: Adjust the size of the window. SIZE can be one of
[row, qhd, hd, fhd] or {width}x{height}.
Default is "hd".
Use whichever resolution or window size you want. Combine them to your
liking. Keep a low resolution for lower-end GPUs.
"row" (800x450) is the dev's choice.
