Graphics and animations are very smooth and polished. Mechanics feel like a standard platformer affair, which isn't bad.

One issue is with sound. Holding space bar plays the jump sound every update frame...which is painful.

The game doesn't seem to react on my keyboard inputs :-( Nothing moves.

Web version seems to freeze when the game starts. Windows version works, albeit with a few glitches. (First time through, jump sound would spazz out until I landed and double-jump wouldn't work. On later runs I had issues getting the transformation to trigger. Movement feels sluggish, too, as if it wasn't updating at a full framerate.)

Blobs with hats is an interesting character design. The game in general feels positively silly. Like it. Good job!

Thanks for the comments all!

The web version is edited! you can now full screen in case it doesn't respond :)

I will check on the sound, thanks for pointing it out wg_phankcock :)

Chikoness has edited the itch.io page and added a "Full Screen Button" to it.

If you are playing the Web version on itch.io, when the game is done loading:

1. Click on the "Full Screen Button" at the bottom right corner.
2. Click on the Unity logo
3. Click on the pink area in the game.

Now you should be able to play. I'm not sure if I did anything wrong, but the Unity WebGL export could be buggy.

Also, yeah, sorry about the sound, it was put in at the last minute.

Great idea - perfectly suits the theme! :D

Tried the windows version.

Character art is nice, but the environment doesn't really match. Also the gameplay is simple yet all sorts of wonky with seemingly unlimited jumping (along with the sound effect) and unresponsive gender switching.

Congratulations on your first game though :P.

The graphics look very polished, and gameplay is fun. The controls are a bit clunky here and there though, but it's a nice game all in all.

Thank you for the comments and criticisms, I've done some minor changes :)

Nice Idea, i like it!
Webversion takes forever to load, and crashs then...

chikoness 2015-04-22 10:08

Hi nutcrack, try refreshing the page if it doesn't seem to load :)

nopogo 2015-04-22 12:36

Movement feels very crisp, and in platformers thats ofc the most important thing! well done :)

Appreciate your idea, "gender bender", very unique.
Keep it up!

That was worth trying. First the bad: physics can get in the way, it's not easy to control. The good: the idea is pretty much cool, not bad for a first try, not bad at all! Graphics do work well, and, above all, it's funny to play. Charming enemies is really a nice touch.

Nice. The movement feels sluggish, though, probably because it's force/acceleration-based?
