I like it, but it lacks sound or music. :/
Simplistic, but competent. I didn't like how it lacked sound and music.
idk how this has to do with shapeshifting and theres no noise or explanation
Not bad but gets a little dull after a while
Nice game with tight controls.
nice ascetic.
Nice work, especially for a first entry. The game works well and has good ideas.
For open-ended platformers like this the level design can make or break the game though, and in this case I found it a bit flawed: on my first attempt I ended up blocked at the bottom of the map (red zone) without any ability, having me restart the game. I think you should have prevented the gates from opening if you don't have the required powers to play through them.
Other possible improvements would be to make the orbs easier to catch, and maybe ramp up the difficulty more progressively (or add more checkpoints).
Otherwise graphics a quite good and especially benefit from nice little effects, plus having these little keys to help to players figure out the controls was a good thing :)
Fine idea and a alright platformer. And yes give it some sound / music.
Pretty solid game. One thing that I think could potentially be a problem is that the brown blocks don't ever seem to respawn, I feel like that has the potential to get the player stuck in a bad situation.
Nice :D
I really want to play this but I can't seem to make jumping work. PC windows 7, modern set up.
Simple but cool Graphics. Some times there are lecks.
Ok, lets see.

Relatively good control, pretty standard, that's always nice.
_
The gameplay, its pretty common, i mean, nothing really special, But, its competent.
_
Not really polished graphics (sightly better graphics for 48 hours are doable in principle).
_
So, the playtime is actually, more than decent.
you see, around 15 to 20 minuts of playtime to complete a game made in less than 48 hours, its actually good, and it's a platformer after all, so yeah, its good.

Game design/Level design, some components had actually certain bugs, that may slow you down or even stop you to advance, wich could be frustrating, also i may tell you that, in very specific parts; orientation it's not really the easiest thing.
Overall, i would say its mediocre like a 5.5/10 , but considering the fact that is just your first entry, i will think a 6 or even 6.5/10 would fit in this.
Good job.
For the amount of time...I think u did a great job! Loved the art direction and overall tight controls.
I played the v1.01. It's a fairly standard platformer, collecting various modes giving different abilities as the 'shift' mechanic. I think its a good first attempt!
I wished I could have spent time on it, I only got as far as after the cannons before moving on, it was feeling slightly tedious after a few minutes.
I think with some polish, sound, and story, there might be a compelling hook for the player to keep playing.
One thing I would change is assigning 'Up' to Jump. Between shifting, action, and jump, the controls were slightly hard to grasp for me.
Simple and fun. But lacking in the explanation department.
I like how the levels look, the blocky stairs, but some parts are tricky to navigate. Nice idea and this could turn into a fun platformer. Good entry!
I love these little exploration games with power-ups! Unfortunately, I was overwhelmed by the many buttons and the control scheme. Mapping the up arrow key to jump would have helped a bunch I think. But good work nonetheless!
great concept! I had fun exploring the level and playing with the mechanics. Good job!
Pretty good game. Lacking anything to do with the theme though?
Simply and stylishly solution. Nice to play, addictive.
I personally didn't get the relation to the theme. But i did have fun playing it for a while. Keep in mind i played the 1.0 version as it is the 48h build.
