Lacks audio. The puzzle is fun, but it took me some time to figure out how it worked, a proper tutorial would be nice. Too bad I can't give you a score for the graphics, because even though simple, they are actually really nice.
So like... I spent some 10 minutes just whistling before I went on to try and beat the game. It was fun. I like the whistling.
Sometimes I would get stuck in the platforms, but I could jump my way out. It was kinda frustrating to have to start all over whenever I died, I would have liked some kind of health system.
The game looks nice, the art style is nice cohesive. Aside from the little bug, the platforming was good.
Would whistle again.
Really nice. there were some bugs though, like sometimes the fish wouldn't eat anything until I restarted the game.
The side dodging ability was kinda overpowered, since I could just press A and D rapidly to run away incredibly fast and the piranhas could never catch me.
Other than that the game looks really nice, audio is nice and the controls were nice too.
I saw your post and the just looked so cool, so I bookmarked you cause really wanted to play the finished version and I'm glad I did.
The graphics are nice, the controls are smooth and the gameplay is fun. Only thing missing is some audio, like driving sound effects and music.
There needs to be more juicy feedback and maybe a way to get more shapeshifters. It would be cool if the shapeshifters changed shape, for example to a fire hose, instead of just changing color. Maybe that is what you intended to do, since there is a fire hose on the nofiremon icon, and it is understandable that you didn't add so much polish, since you only had 48 hours.
Such a clever little puzzle game.
English language might not be your native language, but there were some weird mistakes in the text, somewhere there it said something like "She was She was...". Although the graphics were quite nice, some of them just did not mix well.
Of course that is just extra polish, which is hard to do in just the limited hours we have. Overall the game was pretty nice.
I think the platforms were a bit awkward. I was able to land on the side where I couldn't move and I had to jump to get onto the platform. The way the screen darkens and the game is paused when you change shape wasn't very appealing. Would like it more if it was like: poof, some smoke and behold, a wolf!
Of course you had a limited time to make it, it is a nice game, with cool graphics. Just needs a bit of polish.
It lacks sound, but that is about it. Amazing stuff for a comp!
If there was some more background and camera effects going on so that the player really feels the song, that would be nice. And if you could see the three shapes and which one you were changing to, that would be nice. But you only had 48 hour and this is a solid game for sure. The music is great, the game is fun.
Oh, and my score was 32.928 :D
I don't really know what happened, I just pressed space, touched everything and won. I liked the pixel art though.
Even tough you didn't have much time, you've spent it well, the graphics are so perfectly simple. The controls feel very nice. The game is a lot of fun.
Pretty nice for your first game. Congratz. The idea seems like it would work very well for a sort of educational game. Teaching kids about different animals and such.
Holy poop, I thought it was a jam entry until I read some of your comments, the graphics are really nice.
Cute graphics, nice atmospheric music. I missed some kind of effect to show that I had touched a mana orb and gotten my mana back. Other than that the looks of the menu and the little darkness around the edges of the screen gave it a really nice polished look. Good job.
Nice and simple graphics and audio. Gameplay was pretty cool, the jump was a tiny bit too floaty though. The way your different forms eventually get discovered was actually a cool different kind of health bar, which made it very interesting
The menu is really cool, has a cool crash audio and some screen shake when it opens up. Graphics were simple and good. Gameplay was simple and good, got very intense at times. Audio in game could use some more variety, other than just the same pling noise. Lacks music. But overall it's a very good game, it was fun with nice graphics a touch of polish.
Nice graphics. I not very much into trading games, but this one had some gameplay next to the trading, which I liked. If the controls were a bit less floaty it would've been really good.
If I came to a full stop, the spaceship wouldn't move again and all I could do was rotate. Good music and graphics though.
Even though the graphics were simple, they still had a certain amount of polish to their animation. I especially liked the sword attack animation, it just works really well. The sounds were good too, although there was no music. The game is fun, the changing weapons to deal with different monsters is very fun and engaging, I liked it a lot.
The game is very fun, as others have pointed out, it could use some polish. Nice idea, simple and fun.
Very fun, I've played a lot of games with bit tune music, but they've pretty much all been annoying and almost given me a headache, this one did not though :D Nice moonwalking graphics. Cool puzzles. Good stuff.
Maybe the blob moves a little too quickly, making the platforming kinda hard. Nevertheless your game is very fun to play, very interesting platforming.
The game feels nice and smooth, it looks great and the actions are juicy.
I didn't have any audio, but that is the only con for this game, everything else is absolutely beautifully executed.
The music was kinda... annoying. But everything else was great, fun dialogue, interesting story, with an interesting end that made me think. graphics weren't half bad either
Really well done, everything just worked great. The game is fun and juicy.
Considering that you're new to making games, this is really great. I am one of those people like to jump with the W key in 2d games, it could easily be done so that both the W and space keys make the character jump.
It was kinda fun how, when the chicken/egg died, it became it's food version.
That was a lot of fun. Love how gleeful the monster is, the puzzle solving was fun.
The ending was really cool.
Good stuff man! :D
I think I pretty much skipped most of your game by taking some secret passage... which is nice. I like secrets. Sneaky sneaky.
Cool idea, easy to understand. Game was fun.
Really cool graphics, the game is well done. Good job.
Why can't I rate the audio, It was really good :/
Pretty cool music.
I just wish the monst... I mean creature had some more weight behind it and controls that, while being weird and unpredictable, were responsive and didn't just make me spin in around. That way I could really wreak some havoc.
I found the jump sound effect to be too high pitch and annoying. No background music (I understand, you only had 48 hours). The gameplay is pretty alright, with some more polish it'd be pretty solid.
Really cool game, liked the intro. Had some problems with the sizing of the game screen where I could only see the train, but when I refreshed the page it was fine.
But seriously, I really like the atmosphere. Great use of audio and graphics!
Damn you Irvin!!!
I like that all the guards have a unique name and some detail.
Really like the game, good feel and the pacifistic way of just trying to get away from the war was pretty cool. I did die a lot and I didn't like going to a game over screen and having to click in order to get back into the game, instant spawn, like in super meat boy, would've been nice.

Very interesting. I feel like the drive forwards and dodge obstacles games have their mechanics pretty set in stone, so I liked the innovative ideas that are in this entry. Usually all the player can do is move horizontally and hitting an obstacle will do damage/kill the player. I liked how I can pick up speed, until I'm going super fast, that mechanic was in fact very good at getting me into the flow state. This game actually reminds me a lot of Mirrors edge. It got boring kinda fast though, since there wasn't any threat or variety. Loved the visuals. Good game.

Really well made fish. I liked the game. Even though I feel like the controls needed some polish, they still work alright and control much like what I'd imagine a fish bein like to control. The thing I don't like about the controls is that if I just hold left, it takes way too long for the fish to make the final adjustment to swim straight left. And I don't know why exactly, but sometimes it felt like the controls reversed o.O
Anyway, I really think you made the game be overall very good, the music, art and fun is very enjoyable.
Best score: 500

Now that was a solid entry. Overall very solid. I really like how the enemies skid across the ground and have a little smoke trail, that works really well. The music really added to the intensity of the game.
best score: 39.

To me it feels kinda weird to shoot with the mouse, but not be able to aim. So I'd agree with @BurntFeelings, that using W to jump and space to should would've been nicer. Other than that It was really nice, I especially liked the sound effects.
