really interesting! all of the forms seem to be necessary pretty evenly, so its designed well. nice job!

A basic game, but a solidly implemented one. Nice.

Pretty good. Shifting between forms on the fly feels good. The game is quite hard though, even on the tutorial.

This game actually surprised me with it's difficulty for me. The music is pretty cool with the different forms. Would have been cool if it was in sync with the track all the time. Great job!

Fun and challenging

Great game! A lot of fun and the different transformations seem like they all have their pros and cons

Oh man, playing this is hard on a laptop. Great music though.

Nice platformer! I enjoyed playing it so the following doesnt really matter:
This may sound weird, but I would prefer controls relying completely on keyboard or mouse. I dont know why but I got confused by having to click to change shape and having to press a key for jumping and dashing

The gameplay is very fleshed out and holds a nice level of challenge. Because the game is already very complete, I will offer some above-and-beyond advice: Some of the obstacles require the player to essentially lose at least once because the information is not all there by the time you need to act. But to remedy this would be outside of the scope of LD, I guess. But again, this was great! Keep up the good work.

Fun platformer that provides plenty of challenge, the gameplay, graphics and audio were solid, nice job.

Interesting, I feel it's a little bit too precise at some parts, but I feel that was The point of it =) Nice game

Good idea and setup, got a bit of a blaster master vibe from the visuals. The second form's bouncing is rather tricky. Nicely done.

Interesting mechanics and the level design is good!

vctr_seleucos 2016-04-20 22:10

Nice and addictive game! It is a simple but really well made idea, and the level design is really good. Controls were a bit odd imo, I would prefer two keys instead of keyboard + mouse.

dallengd 2016-04-20 22:14

Really good game. The mechanics are solid with manageable parameters. The difficulty is well presented and we understand the skills and how they work very fast (thanks in the part to the efficient tutorial).

As OttersDen said, some places require you to know the level already to progress, which can be frustrating. With more time to develop, maybe you could give clues to the player to what's coming ahead. Objects in the backgorund, colors, lights, etc... That would suggest what the next pattern could be.

Also, right-clicking (or any other button) to switch "back" would be nice.

Great polish and music, I think the tutorial should be skipped however.

geekguy100 2016-04-21 03:48

Very fun! I would love to see this on the Google Play Store! Fantastic!

joemid 2016-04-21 03:53

Fun game. Hard. Finally got the hang of it. Really fast and responsive.

sabina-lis 2016-04-22 21:59

I liked the shapeshifting controls change, nice game

flummox2d 2016-04-23 08:53

Fun little game, although a bit hard for me. Great work anyways! :)

atridas 2016-04-24 17:19

Quite hard but it is fun right from the start.

esayitch 2016-04-24 17:47

Pretty cool game! I liked how the shapeshifting is core to the game as opposed to a tacked-on addition, and that you often have to do it in clutch situations otherwise you are doomed :P

Graphics were all right, sound was pretty cool too.

Overall a very nice entry! Good luck :)

Awesome android game!!! I like endless runner type of games and this one was really tough

toadfrogs 2016-04-28 01:56

Played this at Newgrounds before I saw this page, it's awesome! The controls are hard to get a hang on but I am doing well on this game, it's really fun. Nice shape shifting mechanic too. Great job! :D

aemiliu5 2016-04-29 17:15

Android version not available in my country :(

sumguy67 2016-05-02 14:04

Hey aemiliu5, sorry about that! First time publishing to Android. Should be worldwide now!

commanderstitch 2016-05-04 04:35

nice music and walking sounds. I was going crazy but then i figured out the extra jump in pogo mode. xD then it got really hard on lvl4!
