Neat idea :) There were other entries that did the transform-into-monster thing but this one made great use of the mechanic; would have been perfect with audio.

hehe, like the idea. Like an old commodore game. :) (At the web version there is no control for me)

Great idea. Loved how the music changed. Can't figure out how to beat the rain level. By the time I get to top I'm turned into a pig :(

I really like the take on the theme. The core mechanic of needing to rage to progress but then needing to execute more flawlessly with increased move speed to escape before losing control was cool too. I feel like an expanded version of this with a lot of creative executions of the mechanics would be fun to play.

The game was really fun to play. Although I did not understand it at first I managed to understand the whole balance becoming a monster and a man. It reminded me a bit of Jekyll and Hyde. I think you should re-imagine the graphics and the characters... It will look beautiful!

Nice idea! Good game) Great music and graphics! Good luck! ;)

Interesting idea, well implemented, it was fun, frustrating in places (end of level 5).

Only real criticism I have is that the music is rather repetative and doesn't always work correctly over the bassline.

That was pretty damn bizarre! Though I think we've all experienced that kind of intense rage in which you turn into a flaming pig :P
Nice work!

Pretty solid game! Although it's weird that you have to become 'no longer in control' to get to the end of the level sometimes, while you are usually trying to prevent that

I LOVED this game, the concept of there are benefits and cons to you in your angriest form and benefits and cons to you in your peaceful form proved really fun in this platformer, the gameplay was really nice as it was almost like solving a mini-puzzle each level in a platformer setting, it suited the theme perfectly in an interesting way. I LOVED the art style (especially the background) and the audio was just superb. The environmental obstacles that you meet on your way home are hilarious and all this combined sets a perfect mood. This is my favourite entry yet, WELL DONE!

Haha it's a funny game. It could be improved visually but other than that it's a platformer, hard to say anything.

Unique premise. Nice use of the theme. I was frequently confused, but thoroughly enjoyed your art.

funny game and good one and nice graphics i liked it :D

Really fun to see the man changed into a pig? when too angry.
Great game!

Interesting take on the theme. And masterfully executed - the level design forces you to become angry to reach the exit, and balance the need for control with the need for better abilities when you're angry. Solid 5 stars!

Nice mechanic! Fun to play, and it makes you to think before act. As others said, the "don't lose control" is a bit misleading, because you actually need to lose quite a lot of control to go through the levels. Maybe a "don't lose control completely!" would work better :). Simple, but nice graphics (I like the changing faces a lot), and smart concept. Impressive amount of screens for the limited time. Overall, very good entry. Good job!

dunin 2015-09-01 20:15

nice concept and clever levels. I'm happy to have play your game (and found my lovely house)!

stechas 2015-09-02 20:00

I like the game expecially the idea of shapeshifting when you have limited time to act once you took your anger level to maximum, good job guys :)

jww608 2015-09-07 00:13

Awesome concept! I love how when you loose control the controls are "less tight".

schnerble 2015-09-12 20:48

Great use of the theme. Good fun too - nice bit of originality for a platformer! Sound and graphics are good as well.
