Enjoyable, and really hard. I love the visual design, too. My favourite so far.

Controls felt good, and I really liked the way each shape felt. Good job!

Started off well but then it got too challenging.. :/ The player is always sliding - control is not accurate. But overall there is a lot of possibilities in the game. All the best :D

Brutal to control. Nice otherwise.

This was great! It's a game with a simple mechanic, and you hit every note you could with those. Levels where you make changing into the wrong shape a hazard, checkpoints where you can change back into the right shape, levels where fitting your shape into a certain place like a keyhole... Heck, you even made like a little font that's based on the look of your levels!

I think one thing I would change is the triangle's wall-jumping. The triangle spins a ton when it jumps anyway, so if you're holding W while in the air as a triangle, I would make it spin and show a little "whirlwind" circle, and fix the triangle's collisions with walls so they're based on a collision radius.

You also could've done something with the colors. Maybe make it so the shapes are random pastels, the walls random dark colors, and so on... But, I dunno, the overall aesthetic was kinda nice really.

Yet another contender for my fave in LD35. What an awesome LD we've been having!

It's a very good platforming game. It was challenging and fun to play. Certainly one of the game i would play in a definitive edition ;)

Really enjoyed this one. The shapes are not always easy to control, but I think that it's part of the appeal of the game. It gets really hard after a few levels. Music would have been nice. A great job overall!

Pretty fun platformer with a clever puzzle mechanic. I like the minimalist art style
