Simple, but nice! I got the idea and spent some time on it! I would like more levels on it!

This was pretty challenging I like that.
Nice platformer with good controls and a clear idea behind it. I especially loved the limited control the ball would give you forcing you to spend equal time with all the blocks instead of just bouncing through the levels. I would have liked the in between block animation to be shorter though, at the end of the game when you had to swap between shapes fast it became a bit of a chore. I did like that the music changed with your shape that gave the whole game a nice feeling. I loved the kinda geometric aesthetic that the game has in its begin screen and shapes and I was kinda sad to not see this back in the games background or other sprites. Unifying your aesthetic will make your game feel much more complete. But I am nitpicking at this point because the gameplay itself was very engaging, a job well done!
The game was quite amazing. I liked that the music change in each shape, while still having a consistent theme. The overall idea allows for interesting level design and i quite enjoyed it. The only thing that bothered me is that there is no way to see the entire level, besides playing through it so sometimes to learn that there are spikes off screen you need to fall into them. Overall though i think its one of the best LD games i played.
Very nice game! The audio is a bit annoying after a while. I would change it so it doesn't stop and start again every time I shapeshift. But otherwise, nice idea!
Wow this game is so cool! You guys did a great job. It is challenging but not too hard :). I like how the music slightly changes.
If I sea a game this great I always search for the little things that are off...so : It did ONLY work with the controller, not with a keyboard, and the control is just not intuitive. Instead of pressing buttons you could have used the right stick or something (well I always tried using it) to change to a shape and then press A to do so. It is just more "natural".
Cool game. I like playing it.
A generic platformer as the title suggests with a twist. Liked the idea, was as hard a platformer should be. Well done!
This game was really hard, but also quite good. I only disliked the keyboard controls. I had to switch my keyboard layout to be able to use the brackets (on the german keyboard, they do not have their own keys). I think that q and e would be much better, but apart from that, the game was great.
I like that you took the time to introduce each power. (hehe... Thomas was alone with more shapes and less story.)
There is a typo in the start of level 2 ""polymorhp" to blue..." instead of "polymorph"
Pretty decent entry. The transition from form to form made gameplay feel very choppy. It got to the point where I was annoyed to have to change forms.
Conceptually, I liked it.
Good job overall.
Using the square bracket keys is a very bad choice, since different keyboard layouts have them mapped differently. For example, my German QWERTZ keyboard only lets me access them with Shift + 8 or 9, so I couldn't play the game at all, unfortunately...
200mb download is too much for me, sorry.
Really liked the musical changes when transforming. Great job!
LOVED the mechanics, not only did you create levels that allowed for a variety of approaches but all the core platforming mechanics felt good.
The visuals were simple but appealing and I really liked how the music changed upon transformation.
Well done!
Simple and nice keep up :).
try our game: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=90749
Nice concept! Audio was great! Transition was a bit laggy though... Also for some reason when I played with a controller the game suddenly froze. Anyways great entry!
I liked it a lot and I was even able to finish it! I really loved it how every shape had their own musical theme :). Good work!
Brilliant Game, good fun, reminiscient of VVVVV. really cool idea, I was just dissapointed that it ended :P
Great entry would be cool to see a full game version :D
Ludum Dare - or "How I learned to stop being frustrated and love platformers again" Really like all the ideas here, and the execution is great and just the right side of being too difficult for me. Great sound!
