Very beautiful and polished pixel art game. I love the presentation and all the details. Could do with a little more AI (of course hard to accomplish in 48hrs) and the music is really repetitive. But overall, I liked it a lot.
Nice, not a lot of variety, buy the game feels complete and had just perfect length of gameplay. Smooth particles look kind of weird with together with pixel art though
Good stuff. A little odd that I could shapeshift right under the nose of the guard and it was none the wiser. Nice pixel art, and I liked that you actually wrote what I "found"/stole everywhere.
The game looks very nice, though I found the gameplay only attractive for the first 2 loot items/guards, then it became tedious (I still played until I died, so it wasn't that bad, it just became repetitive)
I think I would've preferred a more puzzly element, for example that you needed to shapeshift to a specific item to fool different kinds of guards.
Very polished! I particularly loved the shifting effect into different items! Keep going! As Cerno_b said, a bit more of AI works and that would be a bit different after a while! Overall: I really liked it!
This is definitely the best game I've played so far. The shapeshifting mechanic was great and I love the art. It was great how stupid the guard are, but maybe you can add some kind of feature to make them smarter and you have to disguise yourself a certain way in order to trick them. Either way, really great job!
That was quite fun. Pixel art looks really nice and the music is good as well. Only problem I noticed was that the guards melded in with the background sometimes so that they were a bit hard to see. Other than that, this is a nice game.
Nice game with fun graphics, however i felt it could do with a bit more variety as if felt a bit repetitive as it went on, other than that I still enjoyed playing, well done.

That said, overall it's still pretty nice.
Nice little game (score 1671)
