I really liked the aesthetic and the music. The whole game felt very upbeat and happy. I thought the mechanics were a little lacking, though. I didn't really feel like I had the ability to do any kind of shape shifting as much as I had a temporary power-up that felt really lousy to run out of. I think this game would've been really cool if both ship forms had their own pros and cons, instead of one just being objectively better with limited use.
nice little scroller. but i think there could be more shape shift - and damn, that music was LOUD!

Very good game.
Nice :) i enjoyed the graphics and the music, the mood is fine. We did a shooter too come try it ;)
Fun game! I think it would be better if player bullets moved faster. Also, if there is no disadvantage to holding down fire forever, would it not be better to remove the button and have the player auto-fire?

I can download the windows.exe file only. Without the Data folder I can't run the game :(
Nice, fun to play, but not much in the way of shapeshifting
Fun little game with nice mechanics. good graphics and nice music! Would've loved if the controls were a little more snappier

The windows version isn't working...
You have to zip both the .exe and the data folder together.
My favorite part is the scrolling backgrounds and the ship designs. It would be better if the ship just auto fired since you hold down ctrl the whole time anyway and I agree with nick that the shapeshifting felt more like a power up. Also faster bullets for the player. over all pretty good game.

It's an alright start, but it isn't anywhere near as innovative or balanced as it could be. Getting more shields are actually more detrimental to you since it makes you a bigger target. Not the best game I've seen, but there is potential if you spent longer on it! Good luck
Nice shooter, music was very loud. Would have preferred auto fire as I just ended up holding the fire button down anyway.

The music is nice and the mechanics it has are pretty solid. But there is still a lot of romm for improvement

If you don't mind me asking, where's the theme in this exactly? Cheers!
Nice straight forward shooter. Graphics and audio really set a fun mood.
