LOL so silly! It took me a while to understand the mechanics. Made me laugh :) Cheers!

Very solid graphics and animation, well done! The sound really adds a lot to the game, and the humour in the descriptions made me laugh.

I couldn't really figure out how I could shapeshift. Maybe add that to the description above?

Definitely a bizarre entry, but fun as well. The graphics look pretty good and the challenge of going through the area with the rock-paper-scissors mechanic is quite entertaining. Great job!

Interesting game, but I found it quite hard. It's very crowded and unpredictable. Perhaps with more direct (WASD) controls it would be easier?

Fun!! It's a nice idea, and the slight momentum/weight in the player icon following the mouse feels good. If I had a criticism it would be that sometimes (or a lot of the time) the enemies are very close to the player right at the start of the game, so my first few plays I died nearly instantly before I understood what was happening. It would probably be better if the game started with an empty screen, but enemies entered the screen shortly after. Aside from that little issue I enjoyed the game a lot, good job :)

I've never been so embarrassed by a cucumber lol. It's very difficult, but I enjoyed the concept.

Haha! That was fun. The mouse follow felt very good and natural like @spiffl said. I only have one critique which was that when my mouse left the canvas, I couldn't regain control when I moused back over the canvas. I got used to it though. Great job!

Very interesting and fun game! But it is very difficult. My average game lasts 10 sec :)

Cute little game!!! The graphics rocked and the sfx were cool too! Nice Job... (I did die as soon as I shapeshifted... before I even had a chance to move. Maybe make it where you have two seconds after shifting to escape. just a thought! Nice game!

This was fun!

@spiffl, enemies appearing slowly after the game starts is a great idea! I had implemented a radius around the player to prevent enemies spawning too close, but it seems like it wasn't big enough! @TeamScripta I was planning to have the game fullscreen to try to prevent the mouse focus issue, but I ran out of time. Thanks everyone for your kind words and critiques!

I like this a lot; it made me very happy that there was an end to the game. Well done!

I didn't survive long maybe around 20 seconds, but that dramatic sound when I ve got killed by cucumber is priceless :D

It was pretty fun trying to unearth the mechanics.

Nice game.REally liked the three kind of forms you could take

Ha ha, I like WTF games, and this one is simple, and works well. Good job ! :)

godsboss 2016-04-28 18:15

Great game! So simple, still so good.

Great, it works on Linux! Sometimes the player refused to go to the shard. Interesting idea, not sure the mechanic works, as the enemies are quite random and the best strategy seems to just avoid everything.
