Nice mechanics, it managed to implement lots of different puzzles with only the same few mechanics, good job.

I really liked clinging to the wall while in parachute form.

Like it. But I think limited lives is really unnecessary. Also, the replay after death took just so long.

Fun to play with easy shape shifting mechanics. Good entry!

I enjoyed it the only thing is I wish there was a faster way to restart the level. The addiction was real when playing.

Really nice. I just like simple functional platformers. Level design is also good. I don't think lives need to be limited.

This was really well done! I loved the little character. The float transformation was adorable and I just cared about him so much! Don't know why. :) The mechanics felt pretty good and the levels were fun. I will say that dieing did feel pretty punishing because of the inclusion of lives and the long re-spawn time. But that did make me actually care as I went through the levels and wouldn't just jump into it without thinking. Really great mood to the game! Nice job. :)

I could forgive the slow respawns and the dick move just-out-of-sight spikes/water under a breakable block thing, but limited lives? Not for me. Besides that it controls well, is nicely animated and well put together.

Love it ! This is one of the best games I've played this ludum dare, the concept is cool and the level design is excellent. The graphics of the world could benefit from a little bit of polish and animation but the character is gorgeous. The audio is nice but it little bit too retro for my taste. The controls works well but the game feels a little bit slow paced when doing a level for the second time. Anyway, amazing overall job, 5/5, keep at it and make it great !

The jump controls could be improved by allowing vertical climb even after a side collision is detected. It's rather difficult to jump over obstacles when you can't be right next to them because as soon as your sideways movement returns a collision with a wall, your jump is canceled. I liked turning into a parachute and floating downward, though.
