Interesting entry! The music is great, nice to see a game built around audio so much! The visuals are really cool too, but the gameplay gets a repetitive.

combo meter has a lot of potential! there are lots of cool tricks i found myself doing, trying to get as many shapes as i could without touching the ground or trying to thread needles. fun game

This is quite solid. Movement feels really good. Grats on your first LD entry!

Congratulations on your first completion!
It's a fun concept, with lots of potential.

A few things I would add: a way to select what shape you want to be, apart from cycling (as in a 1-2-3 for triangle-square-whateveritwas). Changing up the terrain from a flat line would work well too.

Apart from that, the graphics are minimalistic but solid, the songs are nice, and it's just a fun game to play. Well done!

On a side note: for my game, on the third level, you need to be the same 2D shape as the object you want to go to in order to swap to it. Please try again, once you get that the game is a lot more fun! =)

Congrats on completing your first LD game! I like the music, and noticed there seem to be different pieces? Collecting mechanics are also always nice! :)

Fun concept! Liked the music and overall feel.

I could've used a bit more to ease me into the game and some more depth to keep me trying.

However, great game for a jam! Well done

Nice Game with some cool music and fast thinkink, i like this kind of game that motivates you to get the best combo points as possible, without missing anything!

Would have preferred it if you could select a shape rather than cycling, but otherwise well-done!

Cool entry ! I also tried making games for previous ludumdares, but never succeed until this one, so congratulations !!! I know how you feel, good job !

Now the game :

Good minimalist graphics, the beating "volume-bar" contributes to the good feeling.
I didn't feel the link between the shape-spawning and the music itself...
The audio is good, once again it adds something.
There is a pause : ++
Good not invasive tutorial.
And finally : original concept !

Some details I don't like in the mechanics :
The horizontal speed is too high and the shape has too much "inertia". Once you pressed left or right, you have to travel at least a quarter of the screen.
The shapes disappear instantly. Having them fade out would remove the frustration of missing one by a split second.

Apart from that is a solid finished entry ! Once again : well done !
