Fun game! Litte hard to understand the game mechanics at first, but after some playthroughs it were easier. I like that you can choose difficulty! It adds to the replayability of the game :)

Shapeshifting never was so fun!
Very good game, albeit lacking in audio department.

Nice mechanics, love the animation when shifting forms, could have done with some more animations for movement and some background music to set the mood of the game. Otherwise good effort!

Wow! Nice game! I'm surprised how fast it loads! Good take on the theme. Great mechanics and game menu. Congratulations for the compo!

Awesome, smoothen the slide between lane and have some cool tunes in the background and I think you'll be on to a winner this was really fun.

Pretty unique game! And it was pulled off pretty well! I like the amount of options you had for difficulty, the game was good about progressing with shape shifting, and it was pretty fun!

Great game, love the shatter animation when you die!

Great job, I liked the mechanic you came up with, with unlocking different shapes, and how different shapes were worth different point values.

This is one of my favorites so far. It's simple and its intuitive, and it makes good use of the theme. Some intense music would go really well with this. ;)
