Nice graphics and animations. I liked the sounds too.
The way you shapeshift and use the diffrent forms were very cool. The game felt a bit unforgiving at times, but it didn't hurt the game much. Great job!

Nice game. The controls feels a liiittle bit sluggish at times, but I like art and the mood in the game. :)
This game is delightful! The art and animation is superb, the audio is charming (I love hearing the bottles rattle on landings) and the enemies varied (disappearing ghosts?)
Excellent use of the various shapes versus their abilities. Great game!
Really great graphics and animations! I agree that it's a bit unforgiving - but this is a lot of playtime for an adventure game!
Nice game. Love the graphics.
Really cool, nice to see a relatively ambitious metroidvania type thing here. Movement in general could use a lot of work.
Wow, there is so much amazing pixel art :D
I found it a little clunky to switch forms using the numbers keys, a bit far from the x and c.
Controls were a bit frustrating at times, but overall an amazing entry! Very impressed at how much you got done and loved the stream!
Great game, really impressive what you managed to do in 48h!
I just realized I had left a transformation flask for debugging purposes in the first room. I just removed it. If you wondered why you got that overpowered Bad shape from the start, that was why! whoooops....
(I mean, overpowered BAT shape. not bad.)
Fantastic job all around!!! I've saved your game because I want to come back to it in order to try and beat it. The creepy sound effects were awesome too! Nice job!!
Gorgeous looking game. Got a little lost at first figuring out which path I should take. I think my biggest frustration was having to reach for the number keys to transform. Maybe 'space' to jump and 'up/down' to change transform?
Awesome game
Looks awesome, too bad I don't have any windows right now :(
Wonderful! Amazing graphics and very solid gameplay. The theme song is absolutely fantastic and the game has a good sense of nonlinearity. I had some bugs appear + the ghosts are really tough enemies, but all in all really really good.
Amazing game. I could give you a 10/10 just for the song in the end (I AM THE WIZAAARD) but the game offers so much more than that. Amazing graphics, interesting gameplay and game mechanics, somewhat large world that you can explore, and even more. Great job and I had a ton of fun watching you make it as the jam went on. Look forward to seeing more from you!
Awesome art, you are really talented! I enjoyed playing this. Didn't know how to continue at the point where the ghost come from the bottom.
I jumped off the screen and broke the game on the outdoor area... lol fun game tho
Really cool, but the controls feel really awful. Some of the platforming is frustrating as a result. Just a little less pause while jumping would help a lot.
Great game with a fantastic concept. This is a phenomenal effort for 48 hours of work and is a huge achievement. Unfortunately, so much of the effort was spent developing when a bit more time playtesting would have made the controls a lot smoother and the overall experience better - particularly things like mid-air attacks. Still: this is the best thing I've seen in LD35 quite easily. Good job.
Really impressive for 48 hours. It's so expansive!
Nice metroidvania game, the intro where you have to break the glass is perfect. I found jumping too frustrating and I had to stop playing, but I'll try again when I have more time. I love the setting and art style, works great, I wish the controls were a bit better, especially the jump. Otherwise, great job !
Very polished low-res metroidvania game. Very well done pixel art.
Everything about this game is great :D Love the retro style graphics and the vocal sound effects :D You should be very proud of this!
Good entry, and so many details in the beautiful graphics!
The animation and graphics style is super cute! I reign supreme now :D
The theme was used very well.
Sometimes I thought a bit of a hint about the direction would have been very helpful, I ran (hopped) around pointlessly for a long time.
All in all a cool game.
Very complete game, cool graphics and animations, cool evolution, and awesome music.
I can see a really hard work in just a couple of days, congratulations!
I've always been a fan of your pixel art! Audio and mood is also on point. Controls could use a little bit more work though. Overall an amazing entry! :)
Wonderful stuff! Well rounded entry. :-)
You nailed the graphics, but what really impressed me was the level design. The sense of exploration you get is amazing. I also love how you start the game by having you free yourself from a flask. You feel like this tiny fragile creature in a huge world. Well done!
Graphics and game play are definitely on point, hope you continue with this. great job.
Looks like alot of work!
Was fun!
Well done!
Good game, the level design was great, it was really fun exploring. Also nice art style
Managed to jump off the left side of the screen in the area where you get the gold key (after getting the high jump shape)...oops. Seems fun though! I also made a Metroidvania-style game for my entry; you might enjoy it too :)
This was a great entry. THe animations and art were really solid. I absolutely loved that you start in the bottle and have to break out! That is very cool. The atmosphere in this was so eerie! Not what I expected after seeing the trailer for the steam version. Best of luck on that by the way!!! It looks very cool. :)
Love what you've created in 48 hours here. Beautiful pixel art, and an interesting world to explore.
Looking forward to seeing more of this game :)
Best graphics I've seen, I love that art style! Awesome game! I'm surprised on how much you got done in the 48 hours, well done Overall! One of my favorite entries. And you definitely got my vote on Steam! :)
Awesome entry, I wonder why I didn't find it sooner.
The amount of content you put together in 48 hours is mind-blowing. I wish there would have been music, but I guess you can't have everything if the rest is so good.
The difficulty was spot-on for me and I totally got that Metroidvania vibe I am sure you were going for. Awesome atmosphere and even a boss fight.
One of my favorite entries.
I voted for your Greenlight project, all the best of luck for that. A recommendation for the upcoming work: I think the controls need a little bit of polish and they lack a certain visceral quality which can probably be achieved by working on sound effects some more, especially when jumping, landing and hitting. Let the player feel the impact. Also it should be visually clearer which platforms you drop down from and which have a wall to one side.
Cool! Often graphics-type developers end up making lots of pretty pictures but no real game in the end. You delivered this time.
I chime in on the occasional jump/collision bugs. Managed to cheat over the first door to the left, and going over it from the other way dropped me below the level. That happened at a point where I was running out of ideas for how to proceed though, so I'd need to make another attempt some day. Maybe with company to share the burden ;)
Spent a fair number of minutes and retries jumping across the treetops in the right overworld screen trying to get that rusty key... Finally grabbed it, but the super-precise jumps are pretty tedious with these blatantly unprecise controls. There's some welcome "Coyote time" leaping off a ledge, but you simultaneously lose altitude and it generally feels a bit hit-and-miss. I'd prefer slightly more generous margins in favor of some other elements to add challenge, like timing a jump between swooping enemies or whatever.
Did succeed in getting the "secret flask" in the starting room and it was quite rewarding due specifically to the tricky jump, so it's not all bad! Generally feels like one of those filed-away Amiga disks that you could rediscover and dust off from time to time, playing just long enough to really remember how frustratingly hard it was and why you kept it stashed in the back.
