Ambitious and endearing - I really enjoyed this. It felt particularly polished and un-rushed as a lot of jam games will feel like.

a really good. maybe you should continue with this game and make it what you want to achieve.

first of all, WOW! Thats a load of features and quality are you produced in 3 days, impressive! Really nice art style and GREAT HUD and chat bubbles

Seemed really awesome, but couldn't drop to 4 legs for some reason :(

Great atmosphere, well done.

A lot of content here, good graphics! I love the mechanic of changing back and forth, but I changed in a narrow space and got stuck :( Plus the dialogues lack skip option. Good job overall.

This looks and sounds very nice, I like where you were going with the transformation idea but I got stuck at the big jump with the water tower so I didn't see much of the game. I think if you had concentrated on the gameplay and less of the story, you can make a more complete game!

Overall I really enjoyed this game, I found switching between human form and fox form a really innovated way for the player to solve the small puzzles you are presented with, I really found this game enjoyable but found that some of the jumps were a bit tedious to say the least and at one stage I just stopped playing for a bit because I wanted to move onto something else (some checkpoints of some kind would be nice too so you don't have to walk all the way back to a jump every time) I thought that it really suited the theme in an interesting way. I LOVED the cute art style and the audio was amazing (but since you didn't make it during LD I don't think that you can enter the category? But I rated you highly in it anyways), it was a bit funny at stages and the art style and audio made a wonderful mood and vibe. So I really loved this game besides some issues I had with the gameplay, still you are owed a well deserved well done.

Really enjoyed this game! Love the art and music. The concept is also really cool for a game. PS Nice Pokéball in your room XD

Well, I got stuck at the long jump too.
Couldn't jump when being a fox either, did I miss something?
Re-went up uncountable many times and this really brought a lot of frustration.
The graphics were great. And the game-play seemed interesting.
Nice job!

chipcaramel 2015-08-25 13:22

Oh! I'm so sorry!! If you hold SHIFT, you'll run, which makes the jump much easier. (I will add this to the controls. I knew I missed something)

Hi everyone! Thanks for playing! A couple notes on the controls.
Hold SHIFT to sprint, by default. This can get you over the long jump if you're a fox.
While human, you can engage crawling by pressing left and right while holding down. This should allow you to escape narrow spaces.
Down+Jump should let you pass through certain kinds of platforms, allowing to escape some places you might get transformed in.
If anyone still has problems, can't get the above controls to work, or finds a spot that can't be escaped, even with the controls I just listed, please let me know exactly where the problem occurs and I'll look into fixing it for a post-jam version.
Also this game includes default bindings for a 360 or other X-Input controller, if you prefer to play with a controller. Other controllers should work too, but will require manually rebinding the controls.

Nice use of theme and game mechanics !

wow so risky project! Love the art and you've done a good jov with the mood!

This game feels like a finished game - polished very, very nicely, audio transitions are perfect, amazing art detail, absolutely amazing- speachless!

It's a good entry, I loved the little touches like not being able to walk properly on two legs when you first transform. It feels very well thought out, good work!
