I really like the animations and the core gameplay is cool. But I'd definitely not use shift for attack, Windows keeps wanting to turn on sticky keys!

@qu2 Thanks for the input! I don't use Windows very often, so I forget things like this... I'll rebind the default value.
Love the main animation
Good job. Nice graphics and fun gameplay. The controls felt a little bit unresponsive though.
Good arcade game. good concept on getting the abilities of the enemies you shot. It would be better I think if it was a little more fast paced, also you can't turn your character easily, but maybe that was by design. And I really liked the animation of the blob.
Cool game, I especially like the controls on the blue monster, when its only possible to move while jumping, and you shoot bullets from both sides.
Some of the things I noticed:
you can't drop through the bottom platform,
its easy to get Spawn killed by the blue guys(they stay where they are when you die)(maybe add a longer invincibility after death or have a fixed respawn point where there are no enemies, like in the middle of the air).
there is something strange with how the animation changes on the main form, like you cant jump and shoot and hardly move and jump.
would be cool if there where other monster types, like something small and fast, or a flying monster, might complement the other slower types.
I like how the game play flow "shifts" while you clone different enemies(also how you get extra life from the forms and the countdown). And nice graphics :)
I really like the animations. The controls seem a bit fiddly.
Nice concept! I remembered my old times playing snow bros :D.
Good animations too, the controls are the only thing that didnt go really good for me but I could play anyway ^^
Very nice game! I like the shapeshifting mechanic as well as the super awesome animations! Well done!
nice Game! :D
I like the cthulu-esque monsters. Controls are a little slugglish though. I stopped playing at the first gameover. Cool concept though.
It was hard to play at times, since the controls wouldn't respond (I'm guessing there's a timer after an action?), but it was interesting. I liked the graphics and the idea.
I really like the graphics and animations especially! The controls need a bit more work - they're almost there, but sometimes movement is a bit unnatural - but apart from that, it's a really solid entry. The sound effects get a tiny bit repetitive, but the shapeshift mechanic fits the theme extremely well. Nice job.
liked it, just got scared of the sounds abit, otherwise, great stuff!
Very cool! Really reminds me of the old console games I used to play as a kid.
The jump speed and inertia and momentum in the movement I find adds a lot of difficulty especially when running into the enemy means dying, but makes the player feel less in-control. It might help to add a flat velocity to the accelerated velocity, and cap the total velocity at a certain number and it should make the feel more mario-like.
