Loved the mood of this game! Controls were a little difficult, would like to have had an onscreen indicator of what key is what shape. The music was fun as well.

Great game! Fun to play. It was annoying to have other shapes to get in the way though.
Adorable graphics, and also the meters being the multipen was genius. A good deal of fun.
Thanks! Our artist was a one man wrecking machine. Glad you liked it!
Really cool graphics! Liked the setting too!
This was good! I really liked the art style of this game. I thought it was fun, but I found it really difficult how other shapes got in the way. I feel like it could be better of the other shapes were bigger and or slightly larger.
God, the mood and graphics of this game is awesome. Thanks for made it
Really on-theme, liked the cohesive tone of the art, tough control scheme to get the hang of!
Well done!
Nice graphics! I liked the game mechanics. However it was annoying when other shapes would get in the way. Also I think the main form should be a different shape. It clashes too much with the circle form. It would throw me off. Nice music as well :)
The themeing and art were great!
It was a little difficult at times to tell if I was 3D or 2D but I got the habit in the end.
Regardless, this is a fun little number, well scoped and well put together.
Thanks! Checkout our artist Danny Smith! https://www.instagram.com/dsmokes/
I can't express how much we appreciated his talent.
Glad you like it! :D
Just a fun fact the player death, stage clear, and taking damage sounds were our team recorded during the jam ^_^
Great classroom feel to it. I love the graphics in this. Solid work guys
Very fun and challenging! The graphics are awesome (nice job making them)!
I always wanted to make this kind of game for so long :D
The control is a bit hard though, maybe you could show what kind of type to transform? Or maybe use a time stop while changing the shape.
Great work!
Great graphics and good concept. The lack of cooldown on getting hurt lead to some cheap deaths though.
Love the theme and the art style. More challenging than it looks. Nice work!
Good game. Great visuals and nice execution.
igrir - you make a good point about the slow time, possibly a very short "pause" would allow for intense chaining of kills. Glad you liked it tho!
Nice little game, graphics are really cool! Game idea is good too. I think controls are a bit hard but good job.
God, the mood and graphics of this game is awesome..but thats it. Pretty painfully fun to play!
This is great fun to play and beautifully presented as well. The dash attack is a really cool mechanic, since you're sending yourself into danger instead of just firing a bullet or something -- you have to make sure that other shapes aren't behind the one you're aiming at and that you won't end up in a dangerous position after making an attack.
It's a small thing, but I also really like that the controls are extra easy to remember because each shape resembles the letter it's mapped to -- the triangular shape of "A", the curves of "S" and the boxy "D". Brilliant little touch. Great job!
Some of the best visuals I've seen this Ludum Dare so far - pretty fun, to boot!
Wow TheMeorch thank you for the kind words! We really tried to make something different and it makes us really happy seeing that you and others enjoyed it ^_^ Cheers!
Really great art style! Love the sketchy shapes that we become but I wish the default state of the character was not similar to the circle one. Also sometimes although I change my shape still got hurt from the same shapes that I change into.
I really liked the sketch art style of the game. The mood was incredible. Nice entry!!!
Like the art style
A really unified game with gameplay, setting, graphics and sound all matching, nice work! And that menu music, wow, I sat down just listening to it for a few minutes.
Very complete little game! Great job! Animations were fun, sounds were on point- it took me a moment to realize the sphere shape and the character were different.
I'm not so good with that type of games, but I like the mood and the design ! Well done :)
Motion using the mouse was frustrating when being pushed back, as it made it difficult to avoid shapes. Graphics looked great through.
Lovely game, aesthetics, audio and mood were especially spot on and I love the gamefeel of the dash mechanic. The overall concept is really interesting, theme-related and fun to play. It also kept me engaged a long time for a LD entry, very solid game overall.
Beautiful graphics and nice mood! The controls are pretty easy to get used to.
I don't think the countdown was necessary for the shapes, you should just stay the shape you last selected until you switch again.
Awesome graphics, I really like the idea. good job!
Accurate, school was just like this.
Sorry, I'll start with the negative: controls did not feel very natural. Transition back to initial round (but not circle) state at first seemed like a bug. It might be better if there was an indicator directly on the character as to when they're about to change back. Moving your eyes from the character to the meter is not very ideal when being bombarded by enemies.
Other than that, mood, theme, and graphics were great.
