i don't know how you created that art, but it looks so nice.

Very nice graphics! I love the subtle effects when shapeshifting. Great animations, too.

Sound would have added so much to the game, it's a shame it's missing, especially considering this is a jam game and you could have just used stock stuff.

I love the art! Some of the movement was a little fast so controls could be hard at times but otherwise great

Loved those animations! I also laughed when i stole the thingy and was cursed. Nicely done =D

Man those pixels are beautiful! Great job. Loved the animation of the transformation between human and beast!

Really nice pixel art there, but I couldn't hear any sounds. Turning into a beast is always cool though! :D Awesome work! :)
flummox3d19 Apr 2016, 05:59
Really nice pixel art there, but I miss the sounds. Turning into a beast is always cool though! :D I hope there'll be a postcompo version with music and all. Awesome work! :)

Pixel size differences is my only complaint !

really a cool artwork... good jump and run mechanics... sometimes the collsions seems to be a little glitchy but this is not really a problem... but the best thing is, that curse thing... good idea to involve the environment into it... very nice job... I didn not hera any sounds... maybe i had the boxes turned of... but if there areen't any... you should put some sounds into it to bring the game more to life... great Job! Good Game

Nice game, nice looking, fun to play. I was sad it was over so fast. the only problem is that half of the text is outside of the window

The art and visuals are amazing. The gameplay concept is good too. Overall a fun game.

Superb art, though the gameplay felt very rough around the edges. Solid entry.

So far this is the best game I have played so far, very nice graphics interesting platforming (especially with the use of the transformation), and extreme polish. I really liked this game, great job guys!

Nice! Lovely graphics and really smooth transition animation between the shapes.
WeirdMind21 Apr 2016, 19:01
Awesome Animation really cool
Roland M21 Apr 2016, 20:56
Man the pixel art is great, you should do the background less bright so it doesn't distract you from the player, but hey the game was cool, and the transition from human to monster is awesome, congrats!

Nice work with the pixel art and sprite animations! Looks very pretty with the consistent color palettes and art style.

Directional controls felt a bit too sensitive as the shapeshifted gorilla character really easily overshoots a tiny platform - I thought that the momentum felt a bit jerky. Overall really good effort with the art and nice level design. Shame that there were no sounds.

Enjoyed the art. Really like how everything went dark and the flowers closed when you shapeshifted. Nice work on this :)

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
gamercomposer26 Apr 2016, 04:19
I played your game and love it so much! I would love to do music and SFX for this! I really want to do this! I have a theme and sounds already made for what I think would fit. Send me your email so I can send you the audio :) Please

Fantastic animation and level design! The lack of audio really hurt it thought, I feel it was fairly dull due to the quiet and well, platformers are not my thing. Maybe for the placer to stop to transform so the transformation animation doesn't look as odd mid air?
