Fly as a shape shifting bird through a surreal environment, as you attempt to complete the course without dying.

I like this! It was fun trying to navigate the course at a fast pace while trying to make sure I was using the right form in the right place. I'd love to see more games like this.

This was very stunning! Great visuals! Could use sound sound, for sure.

The mouse controls are way over-sensitive, and it was hard to gauge where I was in relation to the rings. nevertheless, good work!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Controls were really wonky. Otherwise interesting idea and cool graphics.

Cool idea.
The transformations looked pretty neat.
I think something that would help you estimate where you are in relation to other objects might improve the game. Maybe something like shadows or something like that.

I like the graphics and the idea! In my opinion the hummingbird should also move with a constant speed, I don't like that you suddenly stop when switching to the hummingbird. Checkpoints would have been nice.

I didn't understand the controls, and couldn't manage to climb, so died almost immediately. Then I noticed the text at the bottom right telling me how to control the game.

Graphically the game looks fantastic, in a Minecraft sort of way.

I think the controls suffer -- try de-coupling the camera control from the bird control, and I think it will be much better.

The controls were a bit finicky at first, but once I got into the swing of things I found it pretty enjoyable. The environments and birds were all gorgeous!
