My first Ludum Dare (and first Gamejam at that). There's a lot of things I'm not happy about with this game, but I'm glad I actually submitted something.
It started of as a reimagining of the 3 vikings with shapeshifting, but that didn't quite stick. Instead you get a tale of injustice and revenge, as portrayed by silent primitive shapes.
There's a couple of physics glitches that I haven't been able to figure out in the time I have left, mostly involving the ball. If you find yourself unable to jump, change to any shape, then change back to fix it.
Edit: Uploaded the wrong web format eariler, so the game wasn't embedded properly. It should be fixed now. The game itself hasn't changed.
Beat it! The boss was a little tricky, but I might have just got the colors mixed up. Enjoyed playing through it! Fun to have new mechanics every few seconds. Loved the bouncy bits. Thanks!
I definitely had some problems the circle's physics (it doesn't seem to jump properly all the time), but it was nothing that caused too much of a problem. The physics engine overall was pretty impressive.
I like the fact you've put in checkpoint loading, as I had a few troubles with the big jump near the start and the near-end jump. I also like how the different shapes has different strengths and weakness and power ups were available to change these around a bit. It was good fun and quite a decent challenge!

Completed it in 384 seconds. :)
I like the idea that it's not just transforming, but also use the visual specificity of the shapes to build this level, feels pretty nice.
The physics need balance, but's still very fun the game!!
