*Created in C# using the Monogame framework. *Updated code to fix bug that resets player into the ground
Pick One utilizes the shapeshifting theme to stand in for different functionality, whether it be jumping, rolling fast, hover, or climb walls. Can you shapeshift to complete the level in the allotted time? Which shape do you need? Can you Pick One?

Good game. Love the concept. Great base for improvement.
It's a good game, but the audio RUINED it for me. I seriously couldn't play longer then the third level. I like retro type music, but not high pitched buzzing 2 second loops. If you remove or improve the music it's a good game and deserves a better rating, but the audio wrecked it.
Took me a while to figure out what I was doing. But...once that happened, the game was made easy with one or two characters per level. The only issue I had was with the music. Enjoyable experience though! Good job!
Cool concept! Only issue I had was switching into the Hovi guy made you move up a bit and that ended up causing me to get stuck in walls, or move upwards when I didn't want to.
I enjoyed this but the audio loop was very short and distracting because of that. The gameplay was fun, but the collisions could use a little work... I found myself stuck in walls if I used Hovi too close and shapeshifted. Other than those minor issues, solid entry!

One of the best gaming experiences I've had to date! It blows my mind that this game was completed in 72 hours - it would take others years to come up with something this brilliant. A rich story line, beautiful graphics/audio, and incredible game play lead to an amazing experience. Instant classic and easily a top 100 game.
Nice concept, but as the others have said, it needs a little bit more polishing. I got stuck on walls when flying. Plus, on the transformation's screen 3 and 4 are switched.
It would be interesting to play more levels, though. Congratulations! :)
I feel like the concept you had in mind was very good, but failed to deliver its full potentital. Unfortunately the game was pretty buggy with the shapeshifting (got stuck multiple times) and the level design was a bit confusing. There were lots of big maps but there wasnt any need to utilize large parts of them (for example, see screenshot 4 in this entry - its a huge map but you only needed to jump up, shift to hoverboard and go right to the finish. Nothing else on that map is needed). Also very difficult to see where the goal was, took me a while before I realized that there was a special tile that had "finish" scribbled on it. Something that stood on the ground instead wouldve been much better. Lastly, in a game like this, a manual reset button would've been very nice (esp since its buggy^^).
I love geometry games, and this one is no exception :) Sounds are ok for me but I find them too high compared to the nice music. Your "how to play" is probably the only one that I've read until the end as it's well made. Despite some issues got spamming transfos, it's always a pleasure to walk on walls. Keep going !
Solid take on the theme - there's a ton of potential here, but agree with some others that it could use some more polish to really shine. I couldn't get past the 3rd level, 'cause I kept getting stuck in the terrain when I changed forms.

You may want to see the audio part again. Losing Sound may annoy some people.
And check again the Jumping form. I couldn't use it sometimes. I pressed space and nothing happens in some areas.
