Holy goodness. So absolutely unbelievable. I'm still so genuinely in disbelief, the concept is absolutely incredible, the graphics and sound and animation are all gorgeous, and the puzzle design is outlandishly rewarding. Absolutely unbelievable, fantastic work.
Interesting concept, clever writing, hilarious sound bites.
All the makings of a good arcade shoot em up. Nothing quite like the satisfaction of getting that next best upgrade.
(also as a p.s. I saw you got stuck in my game at hacking the mainframe for entering a password- at that point you simply enter in a whole bunch of characters and it will let automatically let you in, it's meant to be a joke haha)
Absolutely gorgeous game. The mechanic and aesthetic work surprisingly well together. With some music and sound this could be really stellar
Very very very cool. Took me a minute to get used to shapeshifting but once I had it down it felt really intuitive and very satisfying. Limiting the number of transformations was a surprisingly interesting mechanic, and also the puzzles were all (for me) the perfect amount of challenging and interesting. A+
Beautiful game, a little hard, or maybe I'm just bad.
Having to maintain gear shifting as well as shape shifting (haha) was a good challenge, easy to learn, hard to master (and very fun once I mastered it). Music was also very pleasant.
Beautiful game. Mechanics could use a little bit of balancing but this is one of the most cohesive games I've played in the jam, everything just felt like it belonged.
Very very cool. Adding the sort of jiggly physics to a space/ship building game was very cool. Also the music and visuals are top notch.
There's something about a train jumping that will never not be entertaining to me
Super cool and beatiful atmosphere and really satisfying feel to the game.
Cool concept, and also, fantastic title haha
Very cool to have two different kinds of transformations, made for some interesting combinations and gameplay.
Very involved level design, and an interesting assortment of transformations!
Wonderful music and some of the most fluid and fun movement in any game in this jam.
WOW! Just wow. A really magical experience. Music, story, art, gameplay, it's impossible to pick a favorite they all were excellent and blended perfectly together. The only perfect 5 I've given so far. You have a new fan.
Very cool. I got a little more obsessed with a fake muscly internet baby than I had planned to today.
Very interesting mechanic, I found myself really getting into the beat.
The shapeshifting animation is out of this world.
Would be great if I didn't have to restart the application every time I died. It's also really hard to see why it is that I die when I die. But the art and concept are really cool.
I love the Knight/Bird character (the bird is absolutely adorable). Very interesting mechanic swapping between the two. Also the environment was wonderfully done.
A well deserved perfect 5. Flawless execution of a wonderful concept. Every aspect just works perfectly with every other aspect, art, music, gameplay.
Easily the most fun transformations I've seen. Unique but intuitive and all very different. Animation and graphics are also super on point.
Super interesting mechanic and I love the silly physics and the lil dude :D
Interesting. I wish the shape-shifting fit more with the music, it felt very unrelated.
Good puzzles, very cool interesting look.
Outstanding aesthetic. The sound and visuals really set an amazing tone to the game.
Wow! Gorgeous, and flying is very enjoyable. Single player could have been more engaging though.
Holy crap, very cool mechanic! Super cool that I feel somehow both extremely powerful yet inevitably helpless to the horde. Wow. Very very cool.
Very interesting having to think in terms of big and small shapes. It's also pretty well balanced for such a unique concept.
Very very fun given such a simple mechanic!
Absolutely brilliant mechanic, and wonderful art and sound that fit perfect with the theme. Little things like the rain and the eyes and the little feet (the little feet!!) really made it wonderful to play. Also the level design was really smart, and nothing I had seen before. Five stars all around from me.
Very very interesting mechanic. Platforming physics could use some work but man what a concept. A+
The environment started to feel like an endless mazer after a while, could have used more variety in both the environment and the mechanics used. But an interesting concept.
Wonderful! Very unique gameplay mechanic that was executed super well, the AI always felt frantic and fresh.
One of the most fun games I've played this jam. Really clever level design and a beautifully simple yet satisfying mechanic.
Easiest 5 stars I've given in my life. Not only hilarious but absolutely beautifully executed visually. You have a fantastic voice in games. (also props from a fellow löve dev!)
Pretty clean solid platformer
Hated it, then honestly really loved it.
Mechanics need a lot of retooling to be more playable.
Swapping ability was very satisfying to master, at first I found myself transforming instead of jumping, but after a while it was fun to speed run levels as fast as I could. Graphics were simple but stylistically coherent which was good.
Intresting entry indeed. Sound design was spot on for the feel of the game.
Very cool atmosphere, and good on you for tackling 3D space movement. Also a beautiful world.
Really really nice environment. Camera was a bit wonky.
Wonderful concept, and the art has great character (Also you pointed out my game not running and it is fixed now, I'd for you to give it a second try!) Also props to being another Max Löve dev like myself : )

Runs a bit slow on my computer, but might just be me. Pretty fun and fast.
Fantastic. Challenging and interesting.
Fantastic. The movement controls were a bit wonky but the portal controls were excellent, especially the idea to have a peek, which helped make the warping feel really intuitive.
A really clean look, and well thought out puzzles for such a new mechanic.
Very fun fluid controls and mechanic, the different colors really feel different (instead of just being superficially different).
The wasd controls relative to direction are a bit odd, but the gameplay is really interesting. Also the sound and visuals are gorgeous, especially the transformations (the most important part!)
Truly wonderful puzzles and really fluid platforming and animation :D
Solid mechanics and wonderfully beautiful world.
Wonderful. Really atmospheric (no pun intended)
I also agree that the e attack button was odd, but I liked how many different things there were to transform into, it made me really want to collect them all. Would be cool to have more variety among the attacks though. Also the music was very quiet when I played.
One of a kind controls, not the most intuitive but fascinating, and really hilarious executed.
Really cool clean gameplay, except for the color swapping which felt a little clunky.
Ah, my bad! All version should now be working!
Many thanks nickavv!
I think there's a bug...? Or maybe I don't know how to play the game... There are two of me, and one's upside down? And I can't get out of the box... And I can move up and down but that doesn't seem to be a control you explained. So I don't really know what to do.
Wonderful. Really novel but satisfying, fluid, and intuitive controls, even (especially) when the world was moving all over the place. A really fun exploration.
Gorgeous looking game, super ambitious
Fun art and music design, but the mechanics could be a little bit more ambitious.
Fantastic! The art and animation was stellar and the gameplay was snappy.
Beautiful and fascinating puzzles, especially when the ability to shift moods came in. Very fun way to tie the mechanic into the theme/narrative
A very interesting idea. The physics/collision got to be a bit wonky but I love the Kafka homage.
Very cool, and very very interesting narrative delivery.
Absolutely gorgeous game.
Beautiful beautiful game. Levels, controls, art, all wonderful.
Very interesting and wonderfully atmospheric, mechanic, music, and art all worked with each other great.
Absolutely gorgeous game and the mechanic feels real good to control. Got to be a little difficult too fast I think, but very fun nonetheless.
Very cool, solid gameplay
Cool concept, some well thought out puzzles. UI was really clever with the watch.
Nothing like some good old fashion button mashing
Adorable graphics, and also the meters being the multipen was genius. A good deal of fun.
The concept seems really interesting, but it runs really slow.
