Help your primitive friends escape through various high intensity puzzles and skill intensive challenges.
We regrettably didn't have time to source music, so start up your music player and play something upbeat! We also didn't have time to finish the third level :(

BUGS: -Some people have experienced spawning multiple shapes inside each other on level one, but I haven't been able to replicate it. Hit escape and go back to main menu if this happens -- shouldn't happen when you try again. -In large resolutions like 1080p the menu buttons may not function properly, since the hitboxes don't adjust accurately. Just try feeling your way around, clicking near the desired button.

My current record is 2:08 on lvl2 by the way. Get below 2 minutes and you are a real man. Or woman.
Great, awesome, I wish I had made it. The puzzles were challenging and innovative. The only problem I can think of is it is really hard to get the bar to line up to jump right. The tutorial is helpful.
Awesome job, really cute graphics and an iterative mechanic! The start of the first level is pretty hard though, and afterwards it is much easier - would have been nice to see a gradual difficulty ramp.
However, even with that flaw it is still excellent! Nice job!
Fun game, though very frustrating! Mechanics were interesting and it felt like an achievement when you completed sections of the levels. Could definitely have done with some music, and perhaps a little more attention to the graphics. Good job though! :)
I really liked the circle to stick transition - the jumping feels really good. I couldn't find a good use for the square most of the time, though. The art is great, good consistent visuals.
Thanks for the feedback, there are a lot of plans in place to make the game better if we do decide to polish it more, but we aren't doing that while the jam is on. For those wanting to see a sub-2minute time on level2: http://puu.sh/oooFy/192afff0d7.webm
A solid entry! I loved how it took time to plan and move around obstacles. It didn't really seem like the square had any unique purpose, however. The rectangle and the circle seemed to be able to get the job done on their own.
Graphics are nice, sound effects provided nice feedback on collisions and death. Well done!
Really hard game, but overall really nicely done. The first idea I had for my game was very similar, but I didn't think I could execute it well. But you did! The faces on the shapes are a nice touch too. Smooth camera zoom was some nice polish.
Very fun mechanic, but a bit challenging to time the jumps when you're rolling fast. I rarely felt that I had to use the blue character. I enjoyed the art style very much :)
A very solid game. The jumping mechanic was a great idea and it was executed very well. Some of the obstacles were pretty challenging but felt extremely rewarding when you got past them.
The jumping is fun. And I love the stoic faces on the shapes. I had to rage quit on level 2 though... the part around ~1:00 in your video with the platform moving over lava. Argh.
I think it's really elegant and creative the way you use shapeshifting here as a mechanic! I've found several games where the new shape is different from the previous one, with a new set of skills, while what you do here requires the player to switch from one form to another in a certain moment, so that you use skills from both forms during the transition. One nice example is when the moving ball shapeshifts into the rectangle and that gives the rectangle some kind of pole vault movement.
Neat concept, but it's too hard for me. I found that I wanted the ball to just jump when transforming into a bar. As in always start vertical, but keep the same velocity.
I loved playing this game! It's a great challenge, and really unique. Showing the arrows so players will know what orientation the rectangle will be when they shift to it is a brilliant touch that really makes the game. Awesome job!
Often you see games with kinda shoddy physics in game jams, but this was excellently done, one of the best examples of physics based gameplay I've seen. The levels were maybe a little bit too difficult, but never felt unfair, and there was a good amount of variation and every shape was useful. The character models are really fun too. With a bit of music and polish on the level graphics this would be a real winner.

Really liked the mechanics, very challenging and engaging!
Thanks, and well done!

I realy hope that you will create more levels :)

Good job though! :)

I like you use the 3 shapes as a simple physic mechanic, and it connected to they visual look, very intuition and easily understanding.
And the level design is also interesting, and very challenging.
Good job! :D
Very challanging for me, but balanced, that's a peace of game!

Lovely graphisms too. ;)
The graphics are cute and, albeit simple, really charming! :) Nice choice for sound effects too!
Great entry! Congrats on your first LD! :)
