Cool original idea and the controls are spot on. Congrats!
Nice puzzle game! I like the minimalist look. The beginning is very easy, then it gets interesting :)
Interesting idea and graphics and audio are really good.
Really cool idea. I'd love to see this developed further.
Very interesting. Playing around with the various shapes is fun. The sound effects are great and the background music fits the experience. Some of the shapes are pretty hard to control properly, but I guess that's the point. Well done!
Very neat puzzle game! Love the metal style music. Original interpretation of the meaning of "shapeshift" ;)
Very very nice! The retro aesthetic is spot on and the music, while a bit short and repetitive, is awesome! Controls are good too. I'd love to see this developed more :)
Enjoyable entry. Getting use to the jump takes a while. I like the retro look and feel.
I got the good ending on the first try :) Short but funny!
Really nice! I'd love to see this developed further.
It contains dinosaurs, so that's already a big plus ;) Really nice looking and fun to play.
No performance issues with the html5 version. I like the core mechanic and I'd love to see this expanded upon. Maybe I'd have changed the shape of the main character, not just the texture. As it is I found it slightly hard to immediately determine which shape I was; maybe it's because I'm slightly colorblind.
Very well done puzzle game. Graphically simple but clean and pleasant, polished, fun and interesting to play. Congrats!
First of all: the music is beyond awesome, congrats! It also looks very good and the controls are responsive and feel right. Very enjoyable!
Cool idea! I'd like to see the enemies put up a bigger challenge, as it was pretty easy to win on my first try. The controls work well. I think this is a solid base for a game if you decide to develop it further. Nicely done!
Nice entry, intuitive controls. The javascript popups in the web version feel a little weird, but that's a minor nitpick.
Very nice atmosphere!
Very polished low-res metroidvania game. Very well done pixel art.
Interesting idea. I have to confess that, even if I completed all 10 levels, I'm not yet exactly sure of what the rules are.
Nice graphics and music! The thing I don't like is having to repeat the "tutorial" part everytime (or maybe I missed something?), for the rest well done!
Well, the shape collecting part is definitely original. Naming them all can be a little tedious. The game looks nice and the music is a bit repetitive but cool. Not a big fan of the core game mechainc but it's well done.
I love the graphical style of this game. The idea of swapping parts is cool. Well done!
Very interesting concept! Nice visual effect for the main character. Cool game.
Nice retro pixel art and sound effects. Not completely sold on how the main character controls, especially when jumping. Fun nonetheless!
Cool music and visuals. Very challenging. Correctly aligning the shape with the hole is maybe harder than it should. Or maybe I just need to practice :) The background texture looks compressed a lot. Fun nonetheless
@Xanjos I played the Windows downloadable version
Fun, hard high score chaser. The enemy "boss" has different phases, which is nice. Very enjoyable!
Really well done, congrats!
I loved the idea and the game, while short, feels pretty polished (well, except for the lack of audio ;) ). The controls work well for the most part. It's a little weird (especially on the last level) when you change into ice, go up and hit something and you can't move horizontally until you change back. Anyway... a really nice start, I'd love to see this expanded upon.
Really polished and enjoyable game. One of my favourites so far!
Really impressed by this one. It's hard, but not unreasonably so. It's also a lot of fun! Nice atmosphere, too. The weak spot mechanic is a nice addition. The retro look is fitting and the music is good, if maybe a little repetitive. The weapons are satisfying, I particularly like the plasma gun... ehm purple one ;) It's a little weird that they don't carry over between levels. Anyway... congrats!
Well, it IS fun to control, it would be great to see this expanded into a game!
Played a bit with the jam version, then switched to the post jam one. In my opinion the new camera angle is a big improvement, the previous one paried with keyboard controls was confusing to me. Enjoyable puzzle, not too hard and relaxing. The audio adds a lot to the immersion. I'm conflicted about the slow sliding of the pieces: on one hand it reinforces the sea theme, on the other it slows the game down. An enjoyable experience overall, well done!
I love the main character, the little eyes are very expressive. Fun game, maybe it takes a little too long to get challenging. A very nice entry overall!
Well, that's a lot of yellow ;) Funny concept!
Great stealth/puzzle game! Pretty difficult at first, or maybe I'm just too impatient and always get caught :D
Very well done endless runner! Looks really good, the music is cool, the controls are very responsive. Well done, congrats!
Thanks to the responsive controls the game is very fun to play, congrats!
This one is really enjoyable. Very neat puzzle game with cool retro graphics and nice music. Very easy at the beginning, then gets tricky.
Graphics and sound are really well done. Really short, but fun. Nice, congrats!
Interesting concept. Mouse sensivity is fine for me. Minor nitpick: maybe there's a little too much empty walking space at the end of the levels. I would love to see this developed into a full game!
A nice start, I'd have loved to see this developed more.
Looks really good and I love the music. The fact that the character continues to jump if you keep spacebar pressed feels weird, and having to restart from the beginning can be a little frustrating. Sound effects of course would have been nice :) I don't want to seem overly critical, I really liked the game! Congrats and I'd love to see this developed further
Great visuals, nice music! Simple but gets challenging. Liked it a lot!
Cool concept and I love the graphics. How the menu works is weird. I'd have maybe preferred keyboard controls but it's no big deal. A nice entry overall.
Very cool idea! My main complaint is that collision detection seems a little off, I often die before touching the red area. The music is nice and the graphics are not too fancy but functional and clear. I'd love to see this developed further!
Neat puzzle game! Harder than you'd think at first. I love tangram puzzles ;)
Very nice looking and cool music. Maybe a little too easy, I'm more of a fan of the Super Hexagon difficulty in this kind of games, but it's fun. The Skull Breaker is awesome!
Really good entry! The puzzles are maybe a little on the easy side, but still interesting. Showing the ooze conquering the world through the ages is a cool idea.
Very well done! Polished and funny. Graphics and audio are top notch. Nothing bad to say about this, really. Well, except that it's not really much about shapeshifting.
It took a while for me to get the hang on the plane controls, but it contributes to the fun I guess. And this game is definitely fun to play! Minor thing: after completing a level I'd default the selection to "next level"
Really cool concept well executed. Colorful pixel art graphics, very appropriate for the game. The music is nice, if a bit repetitive. Slow paced put enjoyable and relaxing... when you're not crashing against rocks ;) Well done!
The core game is solid, but it takes a while to get going; I'd have skipped the beginning with next to no enemies. Music and better graphics/some animation would be great. It'd be nice to see this expanded upon :)
Cool concept! Nice puzzle, I like how you have to be aware of the unintended combinations when sliding pieces. Not a fan of the music. Anyway good job!
Nice overall! I'd have preferred if it was a little faster, but maybe I'm just too addicted to Super Hexagon ;)
Nice. I'd have liked a little more sense of speed and some animation/visual effect. I love the music!
Pretty colors! I love the tunnel. A little slow if you're used to games like Super Hexagon, but fun nonetheless.
This game confirmed what I always suspected: I have no sense of rhythm :) Very enjoyable and clever!
Nice puzzly game. A little sound would have been nice :)
Nice puzzly game. A little sound would have been good :)
Ejoyable puzzle game. Maybe the mouse controls when you move the pieces up/down are a little oversensitive, but that's a minor nitpick. Looks good, it starts easy but soon it's not. Well done!
Cool idea! Maybe starts a little too slow. Additional words said while playing ("great" and the like) can be confusing. Enjoyable game nonetheless.
Nice spin on the rhythm game genre. It definitely has that "just one more try" quality to it that I enjoy a lot. The final round is really brutal, I confess I gave up :) The shield bar to keep track of is a great idea. Would love to see this expanded more.
Interesting and weird in a good way. The sound generated is sort of relaxing and very nice.
A little rough. I think you definitely shouldn't be killed by your own bullets (it happens sometimes). I like the growing mechanic. A good starting point if developed more.
Very well done! Fun, with good controls, a nice clean look and very good music. Educational, too :)
Nice graphics and sounds, the controls works well, good game overall!
Cool experiment :)
Iteresting concept. I'd love to see this developed further, as is I think it lacks a little challenge. Nice entry overall anyway :)
Entertaining puzzle game that brings back pleasant Lemmings memories, but with its own personality. The post-compo addition of the fast-forward button is very aprreciated.
I would have loved to play more levels and I hope this will get developed further. Well done, congrats!
Looks great, it's very polished and it's fun to play. Congrats!
The dungeon is very good at trying to kill me before I leave ;)
Fun game overall, I'd keep the time without enemies on screen at a minimum but that's just a minor complaint. Nice job!
Fun to play, amazing art style and nice music. Also slightly creepy, but in a good way :) Congrats!
Neat and funny
Fun jokes and hilarious sound effects. Nice, clean 3d graphics. Fighting the tigers can be really difficult depending on the weapon. I especially suck at aiming the bow. Enjoyable entry, I'd love to see this developed more :)
Really short so it's not easy to judge, but it looks like a solid start.
That music is awesome! Nice game.
There's a lot to like here! Cool MiB-like concept (who doesn't like to hunt evil aliens down?), nice clean graphics and good music.
Really enjoyed this one. The shapes are not always easy to control, but I think that it's part of the appeal of the game. It gets really hard after a few levels. Music would have been nice. A great job overall!
It is very challenging indeed! Memorizing the sequence of the shapes helps a lot of course :) Enjoyable!
Nicely done and animated low res graphics. Fun to play. The controls work well. Congrats!
I want to become a barber now! No really, this game is good! Music and sound effects have a big part on this, they're great. One of my favorites so far.
Nice main mechaninc! I'd have gladly played more levels.
Very nice music and visual effects. I'd have liked for the intro/tutorial part to be faster or skippable.
Not bad, it lacks some polish and the controls could be improved I think.
Clever twist on the classic match-3 mechaninc. Making "complete" monsters is not that easy as you have to stick to the same color as much as possible. Nice graphics and music too. Congrats!
Nice entry! Maybe it takes a little too long to get challenging even on hard. I played the web version, so maybe the difficulty is calibrated with the Android tilt controls in mind? Of course sound would have been nice. Fun to play.
Whoa, really great art and music! The game itself is simple but fun. Congrats, enjoyed this very much!
Well, an online multiplayer game in such a short time in an impressive feat, so congrats! I'm really bad at it but it was interesting to play :)
The idea of becoming stronger after after dying is great. Destroying everything with a big laser beam is fun :D Nice entry!
Good platformer with a very catchy music. Maybe jumping on the stairs slows down the gameplay a little too much. Morphing into the big fist is fun! Nice, enjoyable entry
The hand-drawn art has its charms. I'm not sure why I'd want to shapeshift into the cloud as the witch form seems so much more powerful. The movement of the main character is a little slow. Could be a good starting point if improved upon.
Simple but fun game. Maybe the speed should factor in the score, because as is there's not really an incentive to go fast (well, except for the fact that it's more fun). The custom Arduino controller is super cool :)
Really cool idea! Local coop is always fun.
Very nice, atmospheric experience. Congrats!
This is very hard, very fun and very awesome! You die (well, I die... ;) ) all the time and you want to keep going just one more time. Again and again. I love how the visuals and the mechanics match the music, and how it throws new stuff at you all the time. Congrats!
Nice game, the controls work well and it's fun to play. I especially liked the deadly lasers. Minor nitpick: not really colorblind friendly.
Interesting idea. Made me realize that my memory isn't that great ;) Nice music and drawings!
Nice twist on the match-3 mechanic. The addition of a leaderboard is very welcome. Maybe some of the colors (yellow and green) are a little similar for colorblind people, but that's a minor nitpick. Very enjoyable!
Mmmh ok well... for sure it was different ;)
Short but enjoyable puzzle game. I'd love to see this developed further
Interesting puzzle game.
Looks great and the music is very catchy. Controls are pretty good too once you learn how to play properly. Fun! The only thing I'm not a fan of is the coin upgrade system.
I have to say I really enjoyed this and I'd have loved to play more levels. Once you figure out how the different animals combine it's an interesting (if maybe a bit easy) puzzle game. The graphical style is charming and the whole thing is pretty relaxing to play. The controls work well. Nicely done!
Oh, it crashed for me after the victory/endgame screen (no big deal).
Weird, definitely weird :) Looks really nice and is funny. What exactly I'm supposed to do I cannot say, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
Short but really nice and funny, I'd love to see this expanded upon.
This is really good! Looks great, the voice is fun and the puzzly gameplay is interesting. Congrats!
The morphing into an enemy idea is cool and it's well done. Having to restart from the first level is a little frustrating. Enjoyable entry!
Very nice point and click adventure. Not hard but funny and enjoyable. Love the graphical style. Congrats!
Nice dueling game. I like the pressure your opponent puts on you and the artwork is nice. I'd love to see this developed further!
Solid base for a game that would have greatly benefited from some kind of audio. Would be nice to see this expanded further.
Nice non-endless runner that looks good, sounds good and it's fun to play! At first I thought it was endless, so the finish line surprised me :) Very good sense of speed. Well done, congrats!
Very nice looking and fun to play!
I like how this one plays! Graphically it's not impressive but controlling the shapes, especially the climber, is fun once you get the hang of it! Nice work!
Nice slighlty creepy atmosphere, the the transformations are really cool. I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of "track&field-esque" button mashing games, but this is well done. A good entry!
Very nice and interesting puzzle game. I like the minimalist look, very appropriate.
Original and interesting to play
Great for the limited time you had, I love the concept!
Enjoyable rhythm game. I like the clean graphical style and the little animations add a lot. The sign on the wall is a clever idea. I'd have preferred for the game to be a little faster from the beginning. Anyway... very well done, congrats!
Interesting concept. The audio is pretty good, but some of the graphics element are blurry. The tutorial tells you what each shape does, but it was a little difficult to remember it all in game. Or maybe I missed something? Anyway I'd like to see this developed further
Really nice entry! Looks great and has good controls, the shapeshifting is funny and I'd love to see this expanded upon, with a little more variety on the different abilities.
Very nice horror atmosphere. Suddenly facing the monster can be pretty scary! Nice job!
Very beautiful in its weirdness! Enjoyable to play too. I got stuck in the sewers, it seems like I cannot go anywhere from there. Anyway congrats! I would love to see this developed as a full game.
Nice idea! Sometimes it's a little hard to tell if/when you're of the right size. Enjoyable nonetheless, but I have to disagree with you about the lens flares ;)
I like the reversed tower defense concept, but I'm not sure I have understood how to play it properly or what the difference between the various shapes is
Very well drawn! Yes, the gameplay is simple but it's fun and challenging enough. The controls are responsive, the music fits and the sfx are nice. A very good entry all around!
Very nice looking puzzle game. Relaxing. Would love to see this developed more!
Really cool idea and fun tu play, congrats! The music is very good too :)
Very enjoyable and funny puzzle game. Maybe a little too easy. I'd love to see this expanded upon.
Nice puzzle game!
Nice idea, the music is cool and the chickens are funny. Winning or being discovered are pretty abrupt, some kind of animation there would have been good. Fun nonetheless.
Fun to play
Enjoyable entry! A death animation would have been great, as is it's a bit sudden. Also when you are it there isn't much feedback besides the health bar going down. The boss is almost the easiest part. The characters and enemies graphics are cool and I also liked the music. Overall I'd say it's a very nice start and I hope to see this developed further.
I love how this game looks; the music is also very good and it's fun to play. Congrats!
Interesting concept. I have to agree that it's hard to control, but I suppose that that was the point of the game :)
Intriguing adventure game, I love mysteries :) I agree that an indicator of the colors currently on would have been nice. And sound of course. Besides that it's great!
On chrome the browser intercepts ctrl+other keys, making it hard to play.
One of my favorite entries so far! Iteresting and unique card game. It took a while to pinpoint the correct location, but I don't think I was ever in real danger to lose. Maybe I was just lucky, I'll play again later. I had a lot of fun anyway :)
Graphically is great and the music is nice. I'm not really a fan of clicker games but this is a very well done one.
The idea is nice and I'd have happily played more levels. Controls could use some tweaking and visually is not that good but I'd love to see this improved upon.
Nice retro look, funny story. Maybe a little too reliant on trying everything to progress, but very enjoyable!
Simple but fun! I like how the timer works, you can decide how fast you feel safe to go. Could work well as a party game, challenging your friends. Well done!
I think that the mushroom collecting part could have used some dangers added to it. Only on the last level I actually saw the dragon and it was easily outrun so maybe it was a little too easy. Nice concept overall that could be developed further.
First of all I have to say that the soundtrack is beyond awesome. The visuals are nice and clean and yes, very flashy but it didn't bother me. At first I wasn't happy with the single key shapeshift but after a while it clicked. I think the sequence is actually pretty clever and makes the game more unique. Congrats!
The graphics may be simple but I love the responsive controls and the core puzzle mechanics. Very fun to play, congrats!
Great music and enjoyable game mechainc, I'd love to see this developed more. The ending/death could be a little more flashy and less abrupt. Minor nitpick: would be better to restart with a single click instead of two. Good job!
Nice one! Harder than it looks at first. Maybe the fast asteroids are a little too hard to avoid. Cool graphics.
Nice concept :)
Weird experience. Looks great but it is really slow, so not for everybody. Interesting but I wish there was more to do. I guess I'm not a patient enough guy ;)
Nice game! I love the look of the creatures. Blind mode is what's best I think, I like the added challenge.
Interesting and clever puzzle game.
Very wierd. I like it, even if I don't always know what I'm doing. It feels different and interesting, I'd love to see this concept expanded upon.
Nice puzzle game! Completing the levels is easy, getting all the gems not so much! Not a big fan of the background graphics but the main character is cool :)
Solid entry. The game looks nice and the controls are good. I'm not a fan of the almost immediately respawning enemies.
Thanks everybody for the kind words and suggestions! To non-QWERTY keyboard users: on the downloadable version you can remap the controls on the Input tab of the configuration screen. On-screen it will continue to show WASD and arrows (there wasn't time for a more sophisticated approach), but you'll be able to use any key you want :)
I love how it looks. I'm not sure I understood how to play properly or how the controls exactly work
Very enjoyable experience. It also has educational value in teaching the planets of the solar system and that eating radioactive waste is bad for your health. Nice graphics, the controls work well, relaxing to play. Nicely done!
Awesome name :) And the game is very good too! The only slightly confusing thing for me is that I'd expect Q to morph into the sun, as it's shown on the left on the UI. Very minor nitpick, I know. Fun and well made game, congrats!
Enjoyable platformer with cool boss battles. I'd have gladly played more levels. Maybe it's a little too easy, but nice nonetheless.
This one I liked a lot! A no-nonsense high score attack that skips the slow, boring part that many games have and goes straight for the challenge. You need a few "training" runs to get the hang of it, then it's pure fun. Sounds and looks great too. Congrats!
Nice puzzle game. The collision with the pillars can be a little irritating at times, but it's no big deal.
Whoa, the art is really great! I'd prefer if the game was a little faster/harder, with less empty space, but it's already fun as it is. I'd love to see this developed further with scores, leaderboards etc.
Anyway... very nice entry, congrats!
Charming hand-drawn graphics, simple but challenging. It took me various attempts but I was able to put a fish on the plate. Poor fishes, apparently there's no way for them to win :P Enjoyable entry, well done!
Simple but fun and the music is very nice.
WORK
Very very VERY cool graphical style and soundtrack. The fact that controlling the shape is almost like rotating it but not quite can be a little confusing at first. It's probably better played full screen and not in the small window on this page, so you can see the shape better. Overall it's a clever variation on the mechanic, very trippy and enjoyable. Congrats!
Interesting and cool idea, with very nice graphics. Excellent entry overall, congrats!
Looks really nice!
This is the kind of game I could play for hours, trying to survive a few seconds more. I love how the visuals react to the music. Very enjoyable, congrats!
I'd have preferred a faster but more precise (without momentum) movement, like super hexagon ;) Anyway... the game is fun and local multiplayer is always great to have!
