Meet Munk, the shapeshifting monkey.
Use your powers to reach the end!

*UPDATE 4-23-2016*

I've changed a few things to the game:
Turned off excessive motionblur
Adjusted the last puzzle to avoid glitches and to be solvable
Fixed being able to spawn in tight areas and getting stuck
Made final tree jump path less frustrating
Added a secret easter egg room (just for kicks)

Wow. Some of the puzzles were amazing!
The last one took me around 4 min because of that clever mechanic you put in there.

Mouse invert would have been great to have. Otherwise no complaints.

Fun game. Good puzzles. The learning curve in the order of the puzzles is well thought of.

Only the background music is anoying after a while and the and the game can looks sometimes a bit blurry.

Best game ever Praise the monkey!

I really liked this game. There are similar ones submitted in the compo with this mechanic, but yours is better. I liked the music, and was actually moving slightly to make the water jug dance while it was being filled up. Nice work! :)

Had a blast playing the game. Some glitch in the graphics making it a bit blurry and the sound that you want to turn off. But the game is really good and fun.

This is great! Fun and clever puzzles with a very interesting mechanic.
Shapeshifting back to the monkey when in tight spots made him fall through the wall/ground btw!

Nice puzzeling that definitely has some potential... BUT with those controls you shouldn't really make the player perform platform jumping :D
also, holding down the right mouse button to transform instead of once every time to switch back and forth feels kinda odd, but that one could be on me...

For the graphics and sound - those are quite good, except for the way to heavy motion blur effect and the annoying looping music - luckily you build in a mute button... (no offense :P)

Wow, is this really a Compo entry? Impressive! Very nice level design, great introduction to the mechanic.
FloatingGhost18 Apr 2016, 21:44
the fps tanked whenever I jumped, making the last puzzle quite hard, but otherwise a solid entry :)
MattThePie18 Apr 2016, 23:04
Ok well this is superb. Great puzzles and I actually like the audio, think it works well. My favourite thing here is definately the trees - these are just gorgeous looking!

The puzzle mechanics are cool and more forgiving than I initially assumed. I really like the concept and the visuals of e.g. walking around as a pot are great! The platforming physics are a bit strange at times, though.
M2tias19 Apr 2016, 21:03
Actually great puzzles. I had to think! It looks really nice, plays well, the theme is good, what's not to like? Nicely done.

Awesome job, really amazing use of shape shifting and the environment. Just hit a strange glitch with the pot room, otherwise was really engaging and smart.

Would love to see this evolve into a longer puzzle game. It really could turn into a hit!

As I said on stream, I found it extremely easy, but I'm also at a higher level with visual puzzles. But like I said, this is a really solid game and if you ever make an improved version with more puzzles I'll be happy to test it.

10/10 Could be a tree

This would have been a top notch entry for the jam, but this is even compo. Amazing work, dude! Had a ton of fun beating all the puzzles.
TheCain7 May 2016, 02:29
Good job. This was very well done, and very polished.
It had a very clever mechanic, that could be used for many more puzzles than you had.

Awesome game mechanic, and very cool implementation. Perfect use of the theme. Loved the puzzles, especially the water jar one. Art was pretty minimal, but the style worked well and the animations really made it cute and fun to transform into different objects. Controls were a little floaty, and music was too repetitive for my tastes, but the sound effects were good, and you did helpfully include an option to mute the music. Great work overall!
