Just got a black screen, also if you're entered for compo you need to give the source code

" Also if the game doesn't seem to load first try just refresh the page. "

I can't seem to make it load. Just a black screen no matter how many times I refresh (I'm on Chrome if that helps)

I just get a black screen (orange square briefly flashes up). Something is happening behind the scenes as I can hear sound effects when I press keys

javabot 2016-04-18 19:32

oh no... please play this on firefox!

I finished the game. Quite interesting and enjoyable/rewarding to try figure out how it worked. I think sound is very necessary, which I didn't realize at first, as it gives that extra feedback to the player. The simple graphical style helps to avoid getting confused and suits the gameplay. Still not 100% sure I have it all figured out correctly though...

javabot 2016-04-19 06:02

haha,if you finished it you figured it!

Very rewarding to complete this game. Great job!

I must admit i haven't finished it but some of the puzzles are relly interesting and surprising. Although it feels very good to figure out the mechanics yourself, a bit more signs telling you what your abilities are would help getting into the game. Also somme of the parameters were a bit punishing : i would have liked putting the accent more on puzzle solving than some of the precise platforming phases.

Also, a counter telling you how far you've gone would make progress more satisfying.

Is a neat little game, I felt the lack of instructions frustrating; more than the reward of eventually figuring it out. I can see you didn't want to give the game away necessarily, but I very nearly gave up after a minute of literally not being able to see/do anything.

In the end, I gave up about 5 or 6 levels in after I got stuck. (the long strip one with red at the bottom, then a layer of purple and a layer of orange at the top)

Nice concept, it fits the theme, but there wasn't any text so I had a hard time knowing what to do at first.

It was fun figuring out how the level can be beaten with the different abilities. very nice. However i think you could have gotten more out of this mechanic by not limiting what forms can be used on some of the levels. I felt like i was being punished for attempting to solve the levels by thinking outside the box. I would have hoped there also being levels requiring all three forms to be used to beat them. Most of these levels only need you to switch once. The control scheme is a bit confusing too. I still had fun with this game tough. I suppose i just wanted there to be more harder levels.

I tried to play this on both chrome and firefox. On both, an orange cube flashed up then nothing.

javabot 2016-04-19 21:33

I agree, I am not the best level designer, and that means not the best puzzle game. If you guys want you can totally take my source and try make your on levels.

hempuli 2016-04-19 23:17

Even after multiple refreshes I couldn't get the game running. :(

yword 2016-04-20 10:46

I just finished it! Quite difficult to figure out, maybe you can provide some hints in the description. Really interesting and some puzzles are quite clever too! Besides, I think it will be better if player can control the movement with the directional keys too. Well done!

paquinn 2016-04-26 00:54

Same, just a black screen

maekeruu 2016-04-26 02:32

Kinda took me time to figure it out :) but when i played it, nice concept :) good job

movixio 2016-05-02 10:22

It is really great, I loved it, too bad the restart key is close from the shapeshift key (azerty keyboard making it harder too). Except that the concept is novative and fun, graphics and sounds are simple and effective, well done.

rodobodolfo 2016-05-06 23:27

good idea! i found the choice controls really difficult for me though...
Also took me a few restarts of black screen until i was able to play it.
good job!

could not play on any browser :(
tested with chrome and IE

Kinda neat concept, but it took me a while to figure out what everything did.
