This was fun. Difficult to identify the objects as a visually impaired player.

This was fun. Difficult to identify the objects as a visually impaired player.
I can tell what types of games you like to play :)
Reminded me of the shmups where you get bonus points for grazing bullets.
Ack, bounding box collisions with diagonal movement! A small tweak there and I would enjoy the challenge even more. Interesting game, took quite a few tries to figure out how to become a bird. I'm a worse seagull than I am a squid!
This is a fun and addictive game. I'm the kind of player who rushes heads first into danger and the game.It feels rewarding to dance on the edge of danger. The reward for managing it is that you can choose to go to an even more challenging area with more upside. I didn't pay so much attention to the points but how quickly I could become a bird and then how long I could stay up there (not very long usually xD).
If you update the game post-jam, consider adding an easy mode where you have circle colliders instead of bounding boxes. :)
Pretty intense game. Pretty hard when you start tho.
Like other tester I recommend to use circular collider if you want to improve the game feel :)
Otherwise, good job I had fun :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this one!... apart from the box collider :)
But others have already elaborated on that.
this reminds me of my old IBM. the graphics style. that sound does too!
The graphics and sound were really interesting, cheers for that. It was a bit too hard for me, though.
Man this game is hard for me! I became a bird once but in my panic instantly turned back into a stone. Good job!
Fun, little addictive game. Took me a while (and a couple of re-reads) to understand what everything means.
Gets a lot better when I realised it's like most bullet hells but with a much larger bounding box. (and I like those games too.)
For a post jam version I'd reduce the boxes to a few pixels instead (but not reducing the close calls radius). Would make the close calls feel even better.
Glad you were able to fix the mp3 problem!
This game is extremely hard. It took a while to even figure out what was going on, but then I realised red background means I can shapeshift. However I have yet to advance past the squid stage.
I keep doing near-hits (a few pixels) on the fishes but I never manage to get the red background. Usually I get red background when they crash into me. Once I whizzed past a fish and nothing happened; it stopped a distance away, and just when it started charging again the background turned red, even though I wasn't close.
I managed to get red background without dying twice. First time I reached the surface but was unable to transform into a bird despite clicking. The second time I had to play Frogger to avoid the fishes, but failed.
It's an interesting idea but the mechanics aren't very intuitive unfortunately.
interesting concept, was pretty difficult though. and the text was very hard to read, i spent like 2 minutes just trying to start the game. nice sounds though
I liked it. The difficulty is nice. I really suck it thought I can't get past the squid part.
Good job on the game! The graphics looked "retro", which fit it perfectly! The gameplay itself was difficult, but interesting.
That is extremely difficult. Not really my kind of thing, but it does remind me of Burnout and that is always a plus. The retry text needs to be brighter. I was skeptical of click controls, but it works pretty well in this context and I get why you used them.
Hmm interesting concept... all the best
:D
Hard but nice little game. Interesting mechanic!
I tried a lot, many times, but could never go beyong squid phase :( i liked the idea
wala!~ this game is really fun and unique!
these icon have really great designed and full of interesting.
acitong have great rhythm, easy/clear and meaning enough.
sound also fit them very good. only the text in mainmenu could be more clear. totally i think this is a solid entry with great idea,and worth to play~
It was a really interesting concept. The graphics made me feel as if I was playing on an old atari or old pc. Nice job!
