"Concept" sounded fun but controls made it impossible/frustrating to play.
- Jumping's way loose and weird and "collision" with obstacles felt odd.
- QTE events slow everything, are very hard to comprehend and so fast you lack context to make a choice. Plus they seem to "slow down" things, which, when it happens when jumping, slows that too and kills you.

Like the idea, couldn't play it proper :/

Hi, thank's for your comment I've juste change the QTE event so the slow is more smooth

Tried again with new build.
Managed to go past 1 obstacle, up to around 200 score I think, then same thing happened: QTE slowed time above fire while jumping, which slowed the jump and caused death :)

I'll check again later this week, in case.

Funny game, enjoyed the different morphs. Was a bit hard to figure out at first. I suggest gradually speeding up the movement to help new/young players get use to the mechanics. I respect that you guys did it in C++ for Windows and Linux

Its not bad. A skater that turns itself into a duck is a cool concept but the controls aren't really smooth.

Would keep working on it though.

I loved the idea but the gameplay could have had a little more refining

Very challenging game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/Q_baWrdQ2o4
