Great concept! It gets a bit tricky after a while (but I didn't play in fullscreen, so I was experiencing the scrolling issues at the same time, which complicated things even more), but it has a lot of potential for getting hooked and in the zone while playing.
Really nice entry, sort of reminded me of Lumines. Might be nice to change the controls to act more like a 'select wheel' than direct movement for speed of control as the game heats up...?
Very nice graphics, and the gameplay was tight and felt good. It was a little fast past right from the start - maybe could have eased us in at a slower pace to get used to it first. But, overall a solid effort with a good hooked factor.
That's pretty cool take on the theme. In principle, it's kind of like those shape-shift gate-crossing endless runner, but here the shapeshifting process itself is handled in an interesting way; especially when you get to play with the different switcher patterns. The later levels get too quick, though, as in, "I instantly know what pattern to make and still can't click my way to make it" way; perhaps at later levels set the minimum based on the keyboard-presses required to complete a segment? ^^'
The audiovisual side doesn't fall short, either; the graphics are pleasing, the sounds appropriate, and the soundtrack is my favourite (it indeed has that Tetris feel), I'd like to see a double-looped version of it (which totally has nothing to do with me having a program that finds loops in tracks to then play them indefinitely, nope; and I definitely don't have DDRKirby's entry soundtrack on a playlist in that program).
Overall, a really cool entry, one of the better endless-hiscore type of games I've seen this Jam. ^^
Man! This is a really solid game! Really frantic gameplay, awesome visuals and audio as well! Great work :D

Awesome job!

Really fun and intuitive (once you realise you can move outside the shape - I'm slow).
The music's great too - I particularly love the scoreboard theme.
