Once upon a time... in a land far far away, there lived a mustachioed man who would shapeshift into various awesome battle animals in hopes of making it to work less late to appease the robot overlords. Maneuver your way around traffic or battle to death! Good luck, Have Fun!

Thanks for playing!

BUGS - We've exported another "most compatible" version (includes installer & runs better on systems), hoping that helps with those having issues! It's probably a good idea to close all other open things... and let Shift-Faced shine bright in the spotlight.

IF YOU ENCOUNTER THE DEMON THAT IS "THE FLASHING WHITE BOXES" EXIT AND RELAUNCH. ALSO CALL YOUR MOTHER AND TELL HER YOU LOVE HER.

This got stuck on the "Use Arrow Keys and Spacebar" screen. I heard sounds effects, but just saw the clock forzen. Windows 10 laptop.

Good game. Interesting art style. You should add a transition between lanes inside of just abruptly jumping. "Greatness is a daily choice."

I liked it but there should be less obstacles, and more variation between fights. I understand that you were on a schedule but I got really bored after a bit.

Every texture kept flashing white every second on my screen

I had a great time laughing about how goofy this was. Pretty funny and clever. I kind of appreciate in a way, games that combine genres like this. It is refreshing, but I wish there could have been differences between the dangers you would encounter as different animals.

Pretty fun. Really love the art its super silly!

serp19 Apr 2016, 04:09

The game seems really really laggy for me. That I wasn't even able to really play it :(

I also experienced white flashing textures... I liked the music! And the art style looks great from the screenshots. Please fix this, I was really excited to play this! :)

Ha! Very cool. I like the art style.

Absolutely loved it! So fun. But I wish I got healed when going to the next day.

I don't know what your game is doing but it made my computer freeze for five minutes before it'd let me close, and it's STILL freezing intermittently several minutes afterward.

Very cool. Runner-style game/jrpg turns out to be great mix! I had fun, thanks for making this game.

Nice art.

Was just getting into it (2nd encounter) and got an error "LaffyTaffy.exe stopped working". I don't think it's RAM, I've got like 15GB of those.

I like it the art :D.

Goofy but entertaining for a bit. I liked the feel and didnt expect the rpg style battle. Trippy

gurkenlabs20 Apr 2016, 01:54

I just got an orgy of flashing white rectangles on all textures, couldn't play the game.

fenwick20 Apr 2016, 02:42

The music and art were really incredible on this, I really loved the paper-mache style you had going. And I laugh every time I see that fish's face, lol. The RPG stuff was really unexpected but fun.

This is bizarre and wonderful. Great art, fun mix of gameplay elements. "GREATNESS IS A DAILY CHOICE" made me crack up. Love it. Great job!

EdoCreate20 Apr 2016, 12:21

Fun and nice art. Good luck!

Nice art style! The final boss didn't seem to work for me though. She just stood there while i stared at her with my fish eyes.

Wefiends21 Apr 2016, 03:28

Really interesting art style, and cool character designs. Wish you had implemented the theme a little more, since really it doesn't determine a whole lot which character you choose.

This is reminiscent of "The Deer" ... but faaaaar more enjoyable

You used OSX in creation but share no playing love with other OSX users? :(

Super cool entry you made there ! I had good time playing it, it's pretty fun ! I especially loved the artstyle, as everyone else said, it's unique and made the entry pretty memorable among the games I tried so far. Congrat to the team.
