I love the look of this game, but unfortunately I can't find a reason to shapeshift. I die too quick in speed form and do no damage in defense form. Viking form is the only one that means I can actually do anything.

Great soundtrack. Impressive work for 48 hours. Could've used some more feedback on what the various forms do.
O got a little addicted on it! I just feel that nice combos on enemies would be welcome! It could put a certain replay factor. But in overall it's a nice game!
Lack of controls and polish hinders what could have been kinda fun sadly.
- I'd put the Shifts on hotkeys (ie: 1,2,3) so you can react faster.
- Stamina doesn't seem to max out inbetween fights but instead just regens like in combat, slows the pace overall without adding interesting mechanics because of it.
- Game quickly degenerates between waiting for stamina, then shift once to attack, shift back after to defend, then waiting for stamina.
- Noticed "upgrades" on 2nd play through, not sure what they all do.
Good concept though.
It was a little bit easy. Just change to shield, wait until you are recharged, perform 3-5 hits and turn into a shield again. It was quite fun however.
The game was pretty easy until the last boss, and the boss simply took a long time to defeat. But I really liked the background music, and nice morphing animations!
Thank you for your comments, the speedy shape allows you to attack and interfere with the enemy's attack.
Like it
Nice game, the upgrades push you to go on until the end. The gameplay is fun, but I think it could use some balance since the defensive form is unbeatable and thus it is very easy to get back to full mana and destroy the opponent in a matter of seconds. But overall it was very enjoyable.
at first it was a bit unclear how to use these upgrades or shape shifting or something. also buttons disappeared at unclear times. once i got the game mechanics, the game was fabulous and i managed to complete it.
Pretty good game. Unfortunately there seems to be no reason to morph into speed, and once you figure out defense form takes no damage, it becomes a matter of patience.
Good effort, though. Maybe by balancing out the forms and having one or two new mechanics you can have a pretty darn good game going. Keep it up.
Really good music, did you compose it ? It took me some time to get the mechanics, but as people mentioned before, once your understand the game is all about going to Shield to refill stamina, then turn to Viking to hit a few times, then repeat, it mostly becomes a waiting game. After this is discovered it makes the game a little bit boring and repetitive. I'm sure that if you can continue working on it you can easily balance the game and make it even better. Overall it's a pretty good game. Good job.
Not really my kind of game but it is done well, I was hooked and finished the game (maybe a bit too easy tho).
I want to see more!!! Great start!
