Didn't understand what was going on. I shifted but all that ever happened was I 'missed' my attacks

game: good idea, nicely drawn, intuitive, always in motion - fun to play!
screen layout: area for opponent graphics too small, buttons appear more important
There could be something showing the "hit" and more actions... nice work! 4/5

Wow, what a unique art style. It's kind of cool that there are no visible stats in combat - you have to base your strategy on the way your body parts look.

cool art

Good game, I thought the graphics were very cool. I however, wish i could see my stats and how they changed when i shifted.

It was really hard to get what was going on at first. The music and art style are really cool and interesting.

I really like the paper+pencil drawing theme.
Pro-tip: whenever I shifted the legs, I seemed to have dodged more of their attacks than usual, but when I shifted my torso, they seemed to have had an easier time hitting me.

I wonder if it depends on the monster type whether to shift certain parts or not?

I like the idea and the way you present this game. The art style is very humorous.

nicely drawn

Great concept! I really love how the art and design combine. My only complaint is the lack of feedback for what each shape did.

I love the art style! Hotel Dusk meets doodle time. :)

Didn't have much of an idea of what was going on, just shifted enough until I wasn't hit and started to do some damage. Cool entry.

Love the art, did not understand the gameplay though. But a shapeshifting RPG is something I would love to see more of!

wery cool look, but confusing gameplay and mechanics

rodobodolfo 2016-04-20 08:08

Lovely art style, I love the sketchy background. The game itself needs more player feedback, I didn't know what I was doing right, or wrong. I killed the first enemy then the game wouldn't load the second stage for me. :(

nice game, reminds me of kingdom of loathing somehow

ivanfon 2016-04-21 16:08

GREAT

I was unable to rate the game because I couldn't get it to work under a Linux environment.

linealgames 2016-04-24 21:03

There was no life bar for the enemy or myself and had no clue what I was doing

plko 2016-04-28 09:16

Oh, the graphics are too impact for me(but I love), I think I need to do a san check(1d100>=40, 0/1d20+5).

rock-eaters 2016-04-28 23:57

dont really get how to win, but its nice graphiks

qu2 2016-05-02 18:32

The game seemed to freeze after just the first enemy for me :( Also, I agree with others that more feedback for user interactions would be great. Love the art and music though.
