Decent little game, why not. Btw, rules allow you to fix bugs, you can fix them after deadline.

It's a nice game, it was a bit hard to get used to switching powers on time. Kepp going!
Thank you for your feedback, it means a lot. I didn't know about that HolyBlackCat, I'll think about it next time.
Yeah, I know what you mean StrayCat, I threw the level at the last minute just to show some basic gameplay ideas. I would have created a much easier first level to get use to the control.
I understand that you left out 'audio', but 'mood' and 'graphics' as well? I've seen worse visuals... heck, I've made worse! :-)
Anyway, I think maybe the reason switching is hard is because you have to use the mouse, instead of, say, the spacebar. If 'activate' was another key then coordination becomes a little easier. Or how about this: pushing the same key twice doesn't do anything right now does it? Maybe you could make it so that the second press is the activation.
I guess I was not too proud to ship this game with the mistake I did on the ground. But thank you rburema for your kind words regarding the visual of my game. It was actually the first time ever I drew for a game ^^.
Concerning the control you are absolutely right. I didn't think about pressing the key twice, that a really nice suggestion. But then, I do like when both hand work together, maybe place two actions at the opposite side ?
Thank you for your feedback.
Unfortunately, I find the controls very stiff. Having to shift to jump really ruins it for me. Having four buttons to shapeshift also seems a little bit unwieldy.
