Very interesting. One thing though is that I at some point though that the safe strategy was to never shift shapes and just get less point but live more.

Very hard! Very, very hard. And while it allows you to change the size at start up it doesn't seem to scale anything at all.

Nice bullet hell! Though a bit too difficult from start? Some progression would be nice! Music is always an issue for me ^^; But it turned out cool!

Anyways nice entry!

Really awesome game, great soundtrack and gameplay. Enjoyed it.

Good balance with the controls! As @nihilaleph said, the player need some time to understand the mechanics of the game before dying after 4 seconds :)

Great game!

In the first 10-20 tires I did not realize that you could only pick up the power ups in the same shape as the player, I just thought that they had a really small hitbox.

The green and yellow shapes looks to much alike, would be nice with more contrast.

I agree with Ghust1995 that its easier to not change shape, especially because the gray shape in between. I also never realizes which order you changed the shape in. I would have preferred to have two different states changing between two shape with one button or 3 states with 3 different buttons.

otherwise I like it a lot, got 90 points with a game pad :)

Its a bit hard in beginning but its real fun after that. Nice concept.

Nice entry with enjoyable gameplay!

I think it will be better that the transition time between shapes is shorter.

Fun idea, but a steep difficulty curve.

Nice little game. It is hard to understand how to play, but it is a cool game overall.
