This is our Ludum Dare 35 Entry. We made a puzzle-platformer about a character who transforms through the guidance of another. The game is fully playable and we hope people enjoy what we have finished so far.

Spectacular. The only suggestion I can make is to add lengthen the time before the blocks reset, later levels become unnecessarily tight.

Really good game! Quick question: after the "ending" where I'm told not to do that any more, am I supposed to be able to progress or does it end there for now?

Change of music is nice there too. And the music in general is good. How come you've turned off audio ratings? I'd've given you a good one!

Very nice to look at. Interesting style. Looks a bit like a painting. I kind of think the characters could've fit more into that style, I guess, but contrast can be good too. Very nice overall.

Primary thing to comment on is the mechanics and gameplay, of course. While the game was short, it wasn't a breeze to get through. Good difficulty and nice amount of thinking to do as well as dependency on reflexes. Good puzzles!

I guess mechanically this game would've worked even without dressing it up as shapeshifting. All of the mechanics would've worked inside of one character as well. Nonetheless, good use of the theme.

So many good entries so far. Yours is another! c:

Those backgrounds are great, love the painterly feel to the game which helps give it a unique look from most of the other entries I've played so far. The puzzle and shape changes also worked really well and liked how difficult some of the later puzzles got. Thought it gave it all a nice challenge.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

This is great! The art (especially the backgrounds) is beautiful, and the music really helps the mood. The gameplay was a little glitchy in places though.

This game is touching. The background and music are amazing. Animation and gameplay are hard work. Thanks for offering this game experience.

What an awesome entry, what an ending, seriously this is one of the most complete games of this LD so far.
The level design was pretty worked, the bg art is stuning!
Congratulations for the great job.

What a gorgeous looking game. Now, I'm not a platform gamer so I couldn't make it past the level with the high pillar blockage, and ended up rage quitting after about 30 tries - so I never got to the ending. For lesser skilled players, like myself, it would be nice if the blocks stayed just a second or so longer. Still, the art and the music was absolutely top notch.

Awesome job! Definitely one of the best entries in LD35 I've played. The ending is nice, and art and animation are very well done, and the gameplay and level design are great (could have used some more time before the blocks disappeared, and the controls of the bird-like form were a bit iffy, but these are only nitpicking).

Really liked the music choice too. I didn't know F0R3ST12 before, but I'll definitely listen to more of his work.

Really good art, and interesting level design! A bit slow paced, but fun otherwise.
Great work!

Outstanding game. The level design was very clever. Going through the same levels twice with different types of mechanics takes some seriously smart level design and it was very enjoyable. The ending after the first run was also really cool. Not to mention the music, which set the tone perfectly.
