Fun! Nice platforming physics, well designed level, and great art. It's a shame you weren't able to get any music; it would have helped complete the package.
Several times, I found myself wishing the transform animation didn't take so long, standing in front of a switch or something. When I had figured out the puzzle, having to wait for the transform to complete could get annoying. It didn't take too much away from the enjoyment of the game, but it was a concern.
Really nice idea of using atoms and molecules :D got to the end! Really balanced and working game for me.
Cool Game but

Thanks for the bug report Falak, fixed version will be uploaded soon. At least you didn't miss much because of it :P
An ambient game !! that's freaking cool !
Played 'til the end, got all the electrons, and I can say it's a really cool platformer!
It was nice to discover the different abbilities of each form, also the level design is really well executed!
Good work.
The darkness was made it a bit difficult, but other than that it was great! Really clever level design! Loved it!
The game was fun! It had a good mood to it. I loved that the door was there at the beginning and it made it really exciting to find the keys. I love that you'd have to explore and figure things out to level up, which gave you access to more areas. That was creative! Well done. :)
love it!
Fun game with nice level design. Liked that as you progressed you obtained new abilities which would further help you proceed. Was able to finish it and get all the keys but wasn't able to get one of the electrons which I could see was between the two crates.
I had SO much fun playing this. I love the open level while still being limited on entry based on which forms you've unlocked. Fun mechanics, awesome art style. Love the ambient soothing music that makes you feel good while exploring the dark. It was fun discovering how different forms could help you get through different challenges.
Only thing is it was really really dark to the point of it being hard to see walls or even hints of where a small opening might be. But also I see how making it brighter would make those parts maybe too trivial to solve.
Perfect amount of challenge to it. Overall awesome game!
Vraiment sympathique, ambiance très cool ;)
I really enjoyed this game. Too bad it has only this one level, I'd love to play more!
Great entry !
j'ai vraiment bien aimé ton jeu ! j'ai particulierement aimé le LD, le pixel art dst très propre et l'ambiance qui s'en dégage est vraiment cool. (ça fait plaiz de croiser d'autres étudiants français par ici. haha)
Great presentation. Could have been a little more challenging, but I had fun :) transforming into a wide character while touching a wall gets you stuck. I'm not sure but do you ever actually need to be water? you can just jump out of the water with helium, right? Great entry despite these points.
Nice and fun little game. Couldnt find the 59th electron but was great fun regardless.
Agreed that the transformation took a little longer than desired but not a game breaker.
Beautiful mood to the game!
Nice little platformer / puzzle game. I think the background was just a tad too dark but it was well done.
Wow. The mood, the graphics, the sound, the idea... Brilliant execution, guys :)
I gave 5 stars to all categories. It's a perfect game! I loved its innovation and mood.
Love the mood mad. =]
Warm lamp game. Music and fear of the dark balance each other. I just figured out how to switch between forms. Nice art.
One the most solid games I tried in this Ludum Dare! Please keep developing that game!
just awesome!!! there are many games with the same idea, but not many that are fun to play
imho shapeshifting could be a bit faster, but that's not too important
Loved this game! The level design was pretty smart, and the dusky aesthetics give an extra sensation when playing :D
While trying to play in fullscreen got the same error Falak had, but not a problem at all.
See ya!
Really great atmosphere, extremely tight and precise controls. It would've been nice if the different elements were a bit more cleverly unique rather than simply to open doors for the most part.
However, it was still a thoroughly relaxing entertaining game dripping with atmosphere. Nice!
So I finally got along to trying this one and it was very well made. I really liked the art, which was minimalistic, but got the job done quite well. I enjoyed the atmospheric music a lot and the whole mood of it was great. I do have some issues with it, as I do with all entries. Firstly, having a lot of forms was fun and inventive (considering they were all named after different elements and things) but I wished there were maybe fewer forms, but more time spent to make them distinct. Secondly, while I understand it was done for atmospheric purposes, but the level was extremely hard to see, making me often feel lost. Then again that might have been the point lol. Other than those points of constructive criticism, this was still one of the better entries I've tried so far and was quite a bit of fun.
Cool concept and game atmosphere.
You've nailed it! :D That's a great take on the theme and really clever too!
The graphics are simple, but really charming and the way you've set up everything creates a great moon in-game. The soundtrack also helps set up the mood in a great way too! :D
Controls work perfectly, and the shapeshifting mechanic is pretty well made!
Brilliant! :D
Great solid entry, I really like the mechanics and atmosphere. audio is also nice. I enjoyed playing it!
I enjoyed this game very much, loved the different characters, specially carbon on fire :). Beautiful entry, thanks!
Other than it was very dark to an annoying level sometimes,the game is really cool.
It was hard to get to the keys in the dark even after having all the shapes in my arsenal.
The game was short so that didn't allow the utilization of all the shapes (many were used to open the gate only and didn't and any particular trait)
hopefully in a longer game ,an interesting game play can emerge out of their different abilities.
Good Work!
Wow! What a great game. Really love the theme implementation. Background music make the mood!
Keep up the good work!
Had fun while playing, but you know it because you were watching my stream! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqDS9CXji3A
Great little game, the art and sound were fantastic. The concept of transforming into characters with different abilities was great as well. The transformation animation was a bit slow though, and some forms seemed more useful than others. Well done overall though.
Great entry! Very well designed! :)
Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several winners of the Ludum Dare #35.
