Not a very solid game ):
I never got to see the mechanics in action because, well, I just jumped around and nothing seemed to hurt me, making the trip to the exit terribly easy.
Didn't rate because I don't have a lot to base it on ):
Seriously would like to apologize here. apparently I changed one line of code and messed up my whole life system. Should be fixed now.
Great music! And I enjoyed the bright colours too.
There are some bugs or strangeness to the way that you move, for example how you can float up through solid blocks. Also, you can walk off the edge of the screen and get stuck :/ I didn't like that. But I tried again and got to the end and it was nice.
@localcoder
yeah floating through solid bricks was not my original plan. Wasn't sure how to resolve though due to the (poor) programming technique I used.
did you get 1.1 or 1.0 out of interest?
An interesting idea, but I'm not really sure what's going on in the game. I wasn't able to tell what the differences between the different enemy types. One of them seemed to be only able to move in jumps? It would be cool to see some puzzles that require using the different abilities strategically.

This is going to need a lot more explanation. How do you defeat enemies? How do you change your disguise? What abilities do the different types have?
Defeat enemies by jumping on their head. your different disguises are located at the top. Your disguises are also your health. You always switch to the disguise on the far left. If you have no disguises left the room restarts. (It was also intended that you could click on the different disguises you have to switch between them... Also not enough time.) Note: It was originally planned to be able to be disguised as all the different enemies but I only got 3 of them done in time. Any other enemies defeated gives you a random one of the 3 disguises I completed.
The 3 disguises I completed work as follows:
1- Yellow Ghost Thing: accelerates as he moves and can jump.
2- Green Shooter: was supposed to be able to shoot enemies as his bonus along with being able to jump higher and his weakness was he can only move left or right mid-air. (instead he can't shoot and has a hard time getting around.)
3- Spinner: The superpower of all the three enemies you can become because he can move anywhere.(Also he is less likely to get randomly from other enemies)
Also sorry for not being clear enough.

Interesting idea.
Great music, the jump sound effect was a bit annoying though.

Interesting idea and great music!! Could be pretty cool if you could implement all your ideas...
It was a bit vague though to figure out, it made more sense now afterwards after reading through the comments... so maybe a tutorial would've been good.

Game was abit confusing, I wasn't really sure what to do at the start. Should have read the comments first I think.

Well that was strange. Weird buggy physics, and I'm not even sure how the game works.

Movement is...unorthodox? And I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do/can do other than move left/right and jump. Can I disguise myself as another creature, as the title implies?
Not sure how the theme is being used here. Jump on top of guys?
