Difficult game! :)
I did not get the point of switching shapes though.
Like does it really help me that much if I change shape ?
Overall an awesome game! Music and gameplay is nice! :D

Cute game. I felt the player was moving way to fast. You can either try to move your move code to FixedUpdate() or multiply your values by Time.deltaTime. Or maybe it was supposed to be that fast what do i know. Other than that cool little game.
thanks for feedback! movement was indeed linked to deltaTime, I just like fast moving shmups. And yes, the shape-shifting just wasn't that useful here. I didn't get time to implement more bullet patterns that would actually REQUIRE shifting.
I couldn't figure out what the point of switching shapes was, but liked the bullet hell patterns from the red enemies. Nice job on your first LD.
It took me a while to figure out what changing shapes is for, but once I did - I like the idea a lot. I like how the controls are tuned in terms of the player's speed vs that of the bullets, etc. Good job balancing there!
The biggest issue I had was that it was surprisingly difficult to differentiate between circles and squares once the boss came on screen (is that remotely near the end? I couldn't beat him, I suck at shmups), since he shot so many at you so densely packed. I found myself dying very unexpectedly until I got used to it.
This was really difficult and it took me a while to figure out what the shape shifting was for. My 4 year old whos sits beside me helping me to judge each game wanted me to say that the graphics was really nice :-). Overall good job and congrats on your first LD entry.
Kinda fun game but difficult.
