Cute. I think it's a little too fast-paced for there to be any real strategy. You just go after the dots that aren't your color and hope for the best. It's fun chasing them down, though. The two-player mode seems like it would be fun. An AI would have been great, but of course that's easier said than done.

I like the game, it's a good idea, but you should develop an AI! Anyway good work!

I love the concept! That's cool! Too bad you can't play against an AI, that makes the single-player mode less fun.

Nice game, it's should be better if we could playing against IA on single player.

The game was running out of screen (i couldnt see the exit option and my character went offscreen a couple of times).
Fun mechanic, and cool idea.
Good job!

It's really innovative, but as stated requires an IA or another player to get the best out of it. Lack of sound hurts it a bit too (you could've recorded two different tones of hums easily and played with the levels for example!), but it's still good!

Ha, I like the clever interpretation of shapeshift and I also love simulation-type games. Well done!

Nice :D

Excellent. This is more like a social phenomenon
simulator.

Neat idea that riffs off the theme in an interesting way. Reminds me of an interactive Game of Life, a bit.

Kinda fun to play for a bit, but it seems to lack any real challenge aside from "achieve the goal as quickly as possible"; no losing conditions or anything. I'd prefer if there was some way to lose the single-player game, e.g. by interacting with others your own opinion sways a little too, and takes some time to reinforce or something. Also, gotta agree with others that it's a bit too hectic.

Also, I like what you did with shaping shift. It's a bit of a stepping around the core theme, but in a creative way, so in the end it's not really bad.

Cool experiment. It is a novel and very interesting approach to the theme. I know It's very hard to write a social dynamics simulator within 48 hours, but this is good as a first iteration. It could be easily expanded with new features in order to simulate more complex behaviour.

I really like the idea! It's a clever interpretation of the theme and it's fun to play. I think you should try to add an AI to the single-player mode, which would make it a lot more fun to play, and perhaps have obstacles or different shaped stages that make it harder to get to all the tiny squares.
