SHAPEshifting + trackMANIA = ... get it? well...

I did not really get where I wanted to within the 2 days, so this one is a little incomplete. I hope you enjoy the game anyway!

======== Controls ==========
Arrow keys - Move
Space - Jump Arrow + Space to walljump
1 / 2 / 3 - Change shape
Enter - Restart level
ESC - Back to menu

++++++++ Important hint I forgot to mention in-game ++++++++
The Glider (2) can be controlled in-flight using up and down arrows. Otherwise you won't make the first long jump!

Really hard game (even with glider controls), but I like the concept. It reminds me a bit of the old sonic games, where you also switch between ball and hedgehog :-)

Well implemented, aside from the wall-jumping - I don't know if I was just being stupid, but I found it pretty difficult to pull off.

The different abilities of shapes was well thought out, and they all worked as required. All in all, pretty nice :)

It was hard man, but cool concept. Couldn't get fast enough to do the spin so I quit :(

One of my favorite games I've played! The switching mechanic to be able to glide to complete jumps to such an awesome and creative idea. The level design definitely needs a bit of work (checkpoints would also be nice, and right now it requires getting a pretty hard number of things right in a row in some cases), but it's a game jam, so that's pretty understandable! While gliding and wall jumping could use a bit of tweaking, the mechanics are overall satisfying! I wish the ball mode had more uses. Great use of the theme!

Brilliant to use inkscape as a level editor. I'm stealing that idea for the next game jam.

Fun game, but the physics are very slow, and it could use some sound/music.

Thanks for the feedback! I know the game lacks a few easier levels and a lot of polish/sounds, but suddenly time was up ;)

The trick to walljumping is to press and hold the arrow key BEFORE you hit the wall, then space as you do. It takes a little practice ^^.

I mastered the wall jump and can now jump to the third platform immediately. I love the challenge :)
