*Edit: I've added 2 other levels ! Play it now ! (April 18th)

*Edit 2: Thanks for the feedback so far ! I improved controls, UI and graphics! Hope you enjoy :)

I decided to make this game for fun in only 8 hours (I entered saturday morning). I've since brought improvements and I plan to add more levels later, as I can see a lot of gameplay possibilities. If you have an idea, tell me what you want to see in term of level design or gameplay twist and I'll probably add a couple of more levels later ^^

Nice cool little concept. Fun music, but lacks more levels. For an 8 hour game, I gotta say it's pretty good.

Pretty good for 8 hours! Shifting left/right feels a little sluggish, though. I think movement would be more responsive if the shape moved on the key being pressed instead of released.

Thanks Merrak, I've fixed that! It really was onKeyUp and it felt somewhat slugish to me too ^^

It's a fun game. The controls took a bit of getting used to.

It's a fun concept! I feel that it could be cleaned up a little bit, but overall, it was fun!

KairosXIII19 Apr 2016, 04:18

Interesting concept there, movements took some getting used to though.

mrStrings19 Apr 2016, 04:18

Man! What an interesting concept! The controls need some improvement, but the idea has a lot of potential, and it was very fun to play.

Also, if you are interested, take a look our our game, WolfBit.

Fun little game, nicely presented. I'd prefer the push through and shift keys to be separate, but that's just me.

Well done for only 8 hours! The controls are fairly unforgiving, but the fact that you can just try the same level again makes that ok. Definitely an interesting idea that could use more levels!

A Well-executed little game.

Not bad, especially for 8 hours. But it is a bit strange that the shapshifting happens on the same key you move with.
Nice job! :)

Loved it! The idea, the graphics, the music!

But it's sooooooooooo hard! What about putting the shapeshifting to different button? It's too hard to manage the shape, lane, gravity and only little space between the walls.

I was unable to change shape...

rayman1900author22 Apr 2016, 11:22

Hi KodingNights, I forgot to change my entry description, You need to change Shape with the Shift Key now. I've updated my description to reflect that change now. Thanks for playing, though!

the original shapeshift with up key was really difficult. Rage quit in the 3rd level. The improved version was almost too easy :) Very nice game though. Good work.

Nice controls! I like it.

Geckoo133727 Apr 2016, 15:43

Really good concept which I have never seen before. I like it. It could be better on mobile device. Well done ++

As others have said the single button to shift and go up was difficult to get the hang of, but it's a unique idea and very cool

puppetmaster27 Apr 2016, 18:13

Wow! What a great game! The circles in the instruction are a little confusing. Keep up the good work!

broknecho27 Apr 2016, 19:20

Pretty neat concept here. I think the gaps between the sections were really small and the strong gravity made this very difficult.

Nice start here though! Good Job!

sP0CkEr229 Apr 2016, 04:38

controls were hard but overall a good game - like the idea - nice job

AinoraZ29 Apr 2016, 22:40

Pretty fun concept but it's pretty hard to get used to the game and overall controls
