This is quite the neat idea, and I had quite a decent amount of fun playing it. I did enjoy the nice peaceful music *quite* a bit, and I felt like it fit the game.

paulhubert 2016-04-19 01:17

Awesome game ! I really like the graphics, and the music... Oh the music is perfect for this :D Good job man
Also it's actually really hard to maneuver, I keep missing the pickups...

Oreganik 2016-04-19 02:03

Beautiful! That is the best damn smoke trail I've ever seen in a jam game. Felt glorious to drive the bike, and the music was great. Thumbs uuuuuup!

spotlightor 2016-04-19 02:20

Really love the art style!wonderful game and worth to play.

stormouse 2016-04-19 04:06

really really cool game. I enjoy the smoke and music and desert feeling sooooooo much!

stormouse 2016-04-19 04:25

btw the "Windows" download link doesn't seem to exist. Hope fix soon!

khaos_fang 2016-04-19 06:55

This is almost perfect for a jam!

headmade 2016-04-19 07:05

Beautiful game, very nice choice of colors great effects, models and animations.

I wish the music would not reset upon death, since I die often I never get to hear the full song.

reuno 2016-04-19 07:26

Thanks a lot for your comments! I just fixed the PC build download link, for those interested. Thanks @stormouse for reporting this.

redwizard 2016-04-19 12:53

What a music!!!
Nice game. Good job

luvshape 2016-04-19 12:58

low poli realness! awesome work

mitya1234 2016-04-19 12:58

The art style is very nice. Good Game/

obsessivenotion 2016-04-19 12:59

This is exactly the type of game that is super fun because of the satisfaction in the graphics. Well done!

skullpixel 2016-04-19 13:03

Nice entry! The graphics and postprocessing effects were impressive.

fafastudio 2016-04-19 13:04

Awesome game, it's even hard to believe that you did it in a so short laps of time because of the quality, i really appreciate this, congrats !

mutonizer 2016-04-19 13:08

Interesting and odd take on the theme but quite enjoyed the bike mechanic though the controls are a bit annoying at times, especially when half a feet near a pickup and you can only go around it.
Graphics are nicely done too but please next time put some mute key for the music. Nothing personal but since it's voiced, it gets VERY repetitive...
Another note, the text for the pickups goes by really fast, can't even read them past the title.

Nice entry otherwise for the jam, kudos.

citsua 2016-04-19 13:08

Awesome job, clean design and great music! Just thought it was a shame that opening the collection didn't pause the game, it made it hard to read what each transformation did.

digitaldude555 2016-04-19 13:08

One of the best jam games I played so far, great graphics, music and love the smoke effect from the bikes, plus the abilities of the different animals. One thing though I can't imagine getting all 19 power ups to beat this game.

meganukebmp 2016-04-19 13:18

Probably the best game I've played. Music, graphics and gameplay are spot on perfect!

apantaloni 2016-04-19 13:18

First of all: the music is beyond awesome, congrats! It also looks very good and the controls are responsive and feel right. Very enjoyable!

arvydas 2016-04-19 13:22

The mood is wonderful and the songs are really nice!

leom 2016-04-19 13:27

Great game.
The graphisms are nice but often you dont really understand if it's a wall, an hole or a tree.

Also the shapeshifting is nice but you dont really know what kind of advantage the shape give you. It could als be nice to have a quick shape select and assign our own shape (if i want to shift as dragon, I have to swith hamster first, and it's not nice)

Great job anyway. And the music is nice and nice part of the "mood"

sndr 2016-04-19 13:28

I love how the theme was used here. The art is soooo neat and the music sets a really good mood. This is a really nice jam entry!

demane_f 2016-04-19 13:29

reaaaaally cool but God I suck at it ! can't get used to the controls :P

sojabird 2016-04-19 13:35

A very well executed game.
I love the art style and simple yet effective gameplay.
To bad the music doesn't keep playing when I die, because it's pretty cool :D

evogengames 2016-04-19 13:36

Really cool game. like the graphics and music A lot!

le_sarus 2016-04-19 14:08

I really like this little game, the controls feel very polished.

ekkiiiii 2016-04-19 14:35

Awesome effort. The game feels very polished, everything fits well together.

anikki 2016-04-19 14:39

Amazing. The music puts it in a whole different level. Was kinda missing a story that goes with the mood of the music. Could use a bit more on-screen direction (goals).

mossi 2016-04-19 14:42

Beautiful game, extordinary audio, good job!

cabezotta 2016-04-19 14:52

Great aesthetic!
The song is awesome, but i hate that everytime i restart the game, the song restart too :|

Awesome game anyway!

matzigon 2016-04-19 17:09

Awesome game! The only thing I did not like is that the music starts over every time I die. Good job!

jok 2016-04-19 17:59

The art style is spot on. Amazing graphics!

matt-beckett 2016-04-19 18:11

It's refreshing to hear music like this used in a game. Great tune!

ermrk 2016-04-19 20:51

The visual style is fantastic. But it is really hard, one hit and you are done.

yetikatt 2016-04-19 21:39

Really gorgeous graphics and the music was fantastic. Good job!

apalade 2016-04-19 22:13

Guys, this is really cool. The music is awesome (congrats!), the art style has real personality and the bike physics are spot on. It's really fun to just drift around and I like how you've added a little bit of randomness to the drifting.

The only thing that bugged me was the tune starting out every time you restart. I also felt that the theme was tacked on but then I thought... hey, Shapeshifting biker, that's pretty cool.

Anyway congratulations. Really great work.

palys 2016-04-19 22:30

Wow! That was amazing! Awesome graphics, catchy music and fun gameplay fit perfectly with each other, and build up a masterpiece. Congratulations!

drusilla 2016-04-20 01:29

When I tried turning into a chicken I became invisible (windows 10, 64-bit). The controls were awesome! This was really enjoyable, and it'd be cool to see where this could go. Jousting?

usonchen 2016-04-20 06:15

I like the all the sensation of this game, it makes a great mood! Event there are enemies chasing behind~
I really love the feel that riding in an open desert!

anshulsinghxd 2016-04-20 11:20

the soundtrack is just amazing :D

nesferjo 2016-04-20 19:08

Perfect mood. The music, the graphics, the biker idea... One of the best games I've seen so far around here. And beautiful. You really made something unique with all the ingredients you used to create your game, and that is not easy at all.
Congratulations :)

insality 2016-04-21 05:04

Great game at all! You done the all of aspects well
I like it, but hint to how shapeshift can be a little long. i cant read so fast :D
Why no link to OST? Shaaaapeeeshiiift biiiikeeer

Amazing graphics. I really enjoyed the different forms (Eagle is my preferred).

After some time the biker disappeared. At the beginning it looked like a camera problem but I think that it was related to the position of the biker, but really awesome entry.

arzi 2016-04-21 21:45

Really good work! Nice, interesting visuals and style, although I did notice some z-fighting polygons but nothing really major. Great atmosphere and music, love the motorcycle's momentum when steering!

muraisama 2016-04-22 21:25

Really nice Idea and Graphics. The controls were great and felt nice while driving! Music did fit really good and I couldn't stop playing it.

emmelineprufrock 2016-04-25 01:58

Really really fantastic. Great music, great style (I'm also pretty partial to your title font). I wish there had been a bit of a longer led on your opening track without voice, as someone who was exceptionally bad at bike controls I got to hear the first line oer and over and over again. But definitely a standout, and a great use of theme.

gurkenlabs 2016-04-25 18:20

That music, though! What an intense experience!

zyow 2016-04-25 18:27

Nice art with awesome music! Well done!

kai20 2016-04-29 13:03

Mad max with a neat artstyle! Awesome work. I dont get the shapeshifting part

medidog 2016-04-30 05:21

Really addictive gameplay and cute characters! I love how you Would love to play this with a more zoomed camera :) Amazing work!

franklins-ghost 2016-05-01 08:07

The art style in this was fantastic and that music was amazing. Looks like I've found a new band to follow which is always a good thing. The simple gameplay also worked well and was quite addictive in wanting to come back and last longer to hear more of the song. A nice touch. Definitely one of my favourite entries so far.

rock-eaters 2016-05-01 21:11

one of the best, everything is 5/5 !!!

ellian 2016-05-08 12:25

God, the game is so well made. The graphics are insanely good, the soundtrack is dope, and ugh it's so well made
Amazing work you guys, all the kudos to you!

oparisy 2016-05-09 21:12

OK, that thing is fantastically animated. I love your particles too, especially the black fumes. the music was quite fitting!

avinashd 2016-05-09 21:23

The music is fantastic and everything about the game was fun! My only niggle is that the theme could be better exploited in the mechanics. You could have a little GUI element in the corner explain what the animal is capable of so that the player isn't just shapeshifting for no reason.

Overall 4.5/5 without hesitation!

kzdev 2016-05-09 22:33

Looks good and I like the music, but I couldn't play too long because hearing the same song restart every time I died got old quick

aaranos 2016-05-09 22:50

Wow. I gotta say the audio really makes this a great experience. The gameplay is solid and the controls handle well.

2016-05-10 11:03
