Cool graphics and mood, a bit too slow and the easy mode was way too hard to me (but I'm super casual ;)).

seitnerk 2016-04-18 11:09

Nice graphics but the movements are a little bit too slow.

santiandrade 2016-04-18 12:21

Thanks for your feedbacks! I wanted to slightly increase the level of difficulty for make feel the player that have to meet a challenge. Anyway I will annotate all your comments to make the game better in the future :) Thanks!

jni 2016-04-18 16:12

It's cool that you have a story, but I think the game is a bit slow. But good work!

marod 2016-04-18 21:03

Épica la intro, me ha gustado. Aunque he jugado en Easy y me ha parecido jodido... en hard no quiero ni imaginarmelo. Y los gráficos muy chulos.

phocker 2016-04-19 03:31

nice graphics - move for the dudes was too slow - it was fun - nice job

santiandrade 2016-04-19 08:28

Thank you for play my game!! :)

I report that the slow moves when we touch a enemy is precisely the handicap, it's the difficulty of the game. In the future I want to create more enemies with different handicaps and make more levels designed for make use of this handicaps.

mutonizer 2016-04-19 08:59

Sadly controls prevented much enjoyement. Concept seemed interesting but spamming spacebar like a crazy person didn't :/

davidkanc 2016-04-19 09:20

El arte y el humor muy muy buenos. Eso si, jodido de la ostia. Tenia la esperanza que se guardara al menos el nivel pasado pero tras morir en el segundo y tener que pasar el primero he desistido xD. Felicidades!

santiandrade 2016-04-19 09:29

Gracias por tu feedback @davidkanc! Parece que me he pasao un poco con la dificultad, sí :P Fíjate que para mí no es tan difícil el juego... pero supongo que tiene algo que ver el hecho de que yo sea el desarrollador xD

demane_f 2016-04-19 09:53

The controls are hard, maybe you should have enabled parameters so we could test the game a bit more efficiently ! but I love the graphics, the skelettons and ghost look so funny

khanatos 2016-04-19 10:50

Wonderfull! The history, the gameplay (the skeletons are too heavy but its ok) Nice work!

pulsorhd 2016-04-19 12:09

Really nice visuals, fun music, for me the problem was the slowness of the flying monster, but that's just my style, so it's not your fault, I liked the game a lot.

edgeofcode 2016-04-19 12:11

Good game, though even the easy mode was too hard for me!

esayitch 2016-04-19 12:12

Liked the concept of shifting to whatever enemy you touch, but the movement felt sluggish. I guess that is part of the challenge though so no complaints there :)

Something that can be improved IMo is the hitboxes, they feel too big - my character is not touching the skeleton, but it suffers a hit and changes to the skeleton :(

Overall cool entry, good luck!

holyblackcat 2016-04-19 12:16

The intro is GREAT, lol! Graphics feels nice to.

Movements in enemy forms are a a bii too slow in my opinion.
Also, it's 2 hard 4 me even on easy mode. :c If you like it to be so had, at least make a checkpoint at a start of every level.

sndr 2016-04-19 12:32

It's pretty hardcore on easy mode and there is a danger that the player might get frustrated very early on the game, but the concept is really cool! A little bit of balancing would make it even better! :)
I like the graphics and music as well. Good mood.

developtech 2016-04-19 12:40

Nice graphics and level design.
I also loved the epic intro with that sense of humour.. Great work!

skullpixel 2016-04-19 13:38

I really do like the concept of when you die, you not only lose health, but also turn into your enemy.

josemwarrior 2016-04-19 13:39

It has a fucking awesome intro, but what happens with the evil doctor, haha I need to accomplish my vengeance... Good joob. It's a bit difficult, but is right :)

santiandrade 2016-04-19 15:05

Thanks for all your feedback!! I really appreciate it and all opinions will be taken into account to improve the game in the future.

oliver_mb 2016-04-19 16:16

I really like the intro and the game is very fun!
But the progress should be saved to finish a level...

vctr_seleucos 2016-04-19 16:52

Really funny intro, but the actual gameplay is hard as hell xD Even in the easy mode.

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-19 17:06

Gran intro y ambientación, pero muy difícil, si se moviera algo más rapido, más fluido, acostaría menos llegar donde te has quedado atascado, el espacio debería hacerte volar algo más y sería perfecto.

judelco 2016-04-19 19:16

I spend 5 minutes to realice the door closes again when you transform back in the way to exit.

Nice intro !

arvydas 2016-04-20 02:39

Nice visuals and gameplay! Good sounds and music for the style of the game.

james-h 2016-04-20 03:31

Awesome intro! And fun game :-) great job!

nextreality 2016-04-20 07:06

I like the attention to detail in the graphics, specifically the flying monsters in the background, it was a nice little touch that many would usually ignore. Gameplay wise it was pretty tough, especially with the flap bird flying guys, but I enjoyed it, good job!

adsilcott 2016-04-20 11:41

Fun game, I enjoyed both levels.

seveca95 2016-04-20 15:04

La música y el arte molan, pero me parece que le falta dinamismo a los movimientos, como por ejemplo a la bola voladora que parece ir lenta y subo muy poco. PD:soy un manco :)

technovirusattack 2016-04-20 16:29

Nice gameplay and idea, really good game.

dat_not_my_game 2016-04-20 16:42

Funny platofrmer game about limited mutations with pretty pixel art graphics and epic music.

shatterpointstudios 2016-04-20 18:28

Funny concept and writing. Art and audio were also really good. The game was fun but it was also frustrating to have to go back and get the key if I bumped an enemy. Cool intro cinematic.

riftpoint 2016-04-20 18:54

Cool game! The art style is very cool too I think it was a little hard.

udellgames 2016-04-20 19:06

I loved the graphics and the story, but the intro was waaay too slow. I also found it quite difficult to move around once I'd transformed, and the player seemed to have very low horizontal movement speed considering how high they could jump, which made it feel kinda sluggish.

Nicely polished, and felt like a real game.

seconddimension 2016-04-20 19:51

It was a bit too hard for me (which is funny because I also made a platformer that is too hard!). Anyway I really liked the intro and the idea in general, I think it was quite a unique idea to lose health and turn into the enemies. You can probably do a lot with that idea, like maybe there are different solutions to levels depending on which order you touch the enemies

themightyteam 2016-04-20 20:13

Liked the graphics, the concept and the music really takes you to the action. The intro is amazing...

sir-magic 2016-04-20 20:37

Doctor... Changing my metabolism... I'm dead xD great game

roland-m 2016-04-20 20:48

Good graphics but yeah it was to slow and and really hard for me couldn't pass level 2

midgard 2016-04-20 23:22

Cool graphics and mood but the intro was too long and uninteresting. Also I didn't like spamming spacebar so much, but overall good game

buen curro!!!

clementd 2016-04-21 07:43

So much epicness in the intro. Graphics and music are nice, but your not rated on those. It's not an easy game but the fun, humor, the theme are here !

teamross 2016-04-21 12:42

Cool mood and concept, i enjoyed a lot.
Sometimes the controls worked a bit weird, but overall nice entry!

samlo 2016-04-21 15:39

I really liked the art/sound/overall concept, but having to go back to the utter beginning of the game because of a missed jump felt a little harsh. I wish either there was an unlimited number of body changes/mutations (making that the health bar discourages people using your cool mutation system!) or that the game had checkpoints per level. Overall that was a really funny, well put together game though! nice job

macronoid 2016-04-21 19:59

Dude, the game's sooo hard xD. I like the feel of the walking fellas but I think the controls of the flying dudes are somewhat broken.

Also, considering this is a game for a Jam where the people aren't willing to grant your game a lot of time (specially if it's this hard :P), I would let the player restart the level insted of starting all over. I beat it, though ;)

omarhuseynov011 2016-04-22 16:26

Great game! Loved that intro! I think it would be better to have checkpoints in the future updates of the game when it will grow because dying and starting from the first level isn't very pleasant. Anyways, notify us if you update your game cause I can't wait to get my niceass body back and kill the doctor lol

pzeronow 2016-04-22 16:55

Was at the door of the first level trying to go through it after I got the key but I was totally unable to open it and got a gameover after the time ran out. I tried 'Enter', 'E', 'F', 'Space' but none seemed to do the trick :( I really liked the game mechanics and usage of the theme.

bytegrove 2016-04-22 19:00

Hehe, funny backstory! I found the controls a little clunky, and it was annoying to get back to the difficulty select screen every time I died.
Nice interpretation of the theme! :)

josearias 2016-04-22 20:30

Muy buen juego! Muy pulido y añadiendo mas personajes se pueden hacer puzzles muy interesantes! Gran trabajo!

siryakko 2016-04-23 17:43

Some background and levels made me think about Flashback, overall really great and fun, but too slow, even if you wanted to make it like that because of the "Fat" ^^

pietro-ferrantelli 2016-04-24 12:28

One of my fav' entries so far ! The intro is especially great, the game is eye-candy and I enjoyed the Level Design. Nice job on all categories.

pjimmy 2016-04-26 08:54

Nice, fun game, cool visuals, you should include a life meter to avoid repelling your players from the instant game over screen

realitycheck 2016-04-26 09:24

A nice little game that has some good ideas behind it. I found the movement a little slow, and the flying mechanic was kinda wonky to me. Even on easy I struggled hard.

stanov 2016-04-26 09:45

Where is the graphics category to rate? I would appreciate some checkpoints. Or at least restarting current level on death. Now it puts me to the very beginning...

Nice game anyway :)

anaguilefdez 2016-04-26 10:17

Nice one! A bit hard but cool.
Graphics are nice, however, would have been better to get all sprites from a single artist instead of mixing a lot

martymon 2016-04-26 11:52

great graphics and EPIC intro! I liked the whole shape shift/lives mechanic thing you got going. I didn't find easy too difficult.I finished it on my 3rd go.

gamepopper 2016-04-26 12:59

Amazing intro, so the contrast to the gameplay made this unintentionally funny.

2016-04-26 16:55

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

lostalloy 2016-04-28 16:34

I really like the idea of turning into one of the enemies whenever you touch them (of course, in my own game you become a tile!). My suggestion is that, if you intend to expand this game, you could think of another consequence for shapeshifting too much instead of just dying. For example: if the character touches too much two different enemies, he will become a mix of them both, with fuzzy controls and stuff.

pixelpotions 2016-04-28 19:01

RAD!
Cool artwork, nice use of the theme, and nice music!
Well done!

jefepapaya 2016-04-28 23:16

Awesome entry.
Really good and polished game. The only thing I miss is being able to start over at the farthest level you got.

Kudos.

romandtom 2016-04-29 00:23

It was way too hard
When I realized that when I die it starts from level 1 I gave up :(

Nice Intro and idea!

kzdev 2016-04-29 00:59

Took a few tries but this was pretty fun! I wished for more levels but I understand the time constraints and all things considered this was a good jam game.

maekeruu 2016-04-29 01:05

awesome mood and graphics... especially the animation and UX design... the game however, is not noob friendly but i managed to go through the steep difficulty curve... :)

gfm 2016-04-29 02:30

Not all that hard, really. As soon as you figure out the level's puzzle, it's quite easy.

Even if you did only use free/open assets, I few like you could have chosen ones with a more unified look.

The main mechanic is interesting, and could potentially lead to fun levels. However, the game didn't play well... The player jump was too high but too short, flying with the ghost felt weird (instead of as if the creature was actually flapping its wings)...

All in all, it was a nice entry, specially for your first time. :)

holdmeimscared 2016-04-29 11:53

Easy mode is pretty hard, it's tough to avoid enemies, particularly with the bouncy flight if you end up accidentally hitting a ghost. Took me a while to figure out that I could fly with the fat ghost by hitting space fast enough, I thought it just had a very low jump at first.

I did manage to get to the 2nd level once, but died pretty quickly and did not manage to finish the first level again.

That said, the intro was pretty cute. I liked the idea of having to deal with the abilities of the transforms rather than them being strictly voluntary, and it was an interesting health mechanic. You could even choose to sacrifice a "hitpoint" to get a particular ability if you wanted to, which is a neat idea.

I think my favorite little detail was the smaller/faded monsters in the background.

Nice entry! :)

rock-eaters 2016-04-29 19:57

Nice game ! Good music !

mikedirl 2016-05-01 10:26

Great graphics, and the intro was really enjoyable. I liked the mood of the game. It was very difficult though.

bazkur98 2016-05-01 12:32

Not too bad! Intro was exceptionally nice but perhaps a bit long (yes I know I could skip it). It was a bit difficult, but otherwise fun.

jordgubben 2016-05-01 12:37

Very neat intro. Really digging the backgrounds.

3rdchance 2016-05-01 16:45

The intro makes it interesting. I like the idea and gameplay, sometimes a bit too hard.=) The ingame music could be better.

graebor 2016-05-01 16:51

Nice graphics and audio, found it pretty difficult even on easy mode :)

gord10 2016-05-01 17:05

Very nice work! It would be perfect if it was easier. And restarting is kinda hard, we died a lot.

matiasbontempo 2016-05-01 20:11

Sadly, it's too short! I wanted to keep playing and destroy the evil doctor! The game was too easy when I discovered how to fly when converted to one of those flying creatures.

lereveur 2016-05-01 20:16

I really like the mood of this game, you should make more levels and try to sell it ! :)

pinkindian 2016-05-02 07:50

The intro was amazing. Nicely done! And good thing you added the timer, because without it the game would had been too easy. Good example of how a small element can make a big difference.

epicload 2016-05-05 09:40

I got scare by the intro. Great intro and awesome graphic. The movement is a bit slow but overall cool game!

apantaloni 2016-05-05 10:52

The morphing into an enemy idea is cool and it's well done. Having to restart from the first level is a little frustrating. Enjoyable entry!

ragnta 2016-05-05 12:08

Nice game :) , but a little bit slow, and hard for me :(

oparisy 2016-05-05 13:57

Nice classical platformer, liked the graphics, cool music too. Didn't have the patience to get past the second level though: I would have liked some kind of checkpoint to avoid redoing everything each time.

retrograze 2016-05-06 04:35

Wasn't bad. I liked how smooth the platforming was, and the animations were all nice. The story is something you really don't see in a lot of LD games, and it's a nice touch of humor.

thecain 2016-05-07 00:38

I loved the intro. The music. The dialogue. Really great. Other than that though, there were only two levels. I beat it on hard first, then easy just to check there weren't any hidden levels.

nightshadow0 2016-05-09 16:29

This is pretty challenging, losing the key after you get hit is really frustrating, and you might as well just restart if you hit a skeleton at any point. I did make it through the first level eventually and the second one was more enjoyable to me, felt more like it had a puzzle element to it. Would've liked to see it expanded, the idea definitely has potential. Nice work!

mandrjam 2016-05-09 23:05

Cool concept, only thing that bugged me is that the hitboxes on some of the enemies seem to large(or the player?)
