A 2D platformer (I know, how original) where you can shapeshift into two different animal forms!

It's a really short game, but I hope you'll enjoy it!

Features:
A fully original soundtrack comprising of three tracks
Home-made sound effects
Slightly crappy pixel art
A difficulty curve

Genres: platformer

Pretty funny game :)
I also like that the music changes depending on which form you play as

Nice game and good music. But the hitboxes made me quit playing. Felt like the birds hitbox was 2 times larger than the sprite.

Very catchy music, cool sound effects. Controls/hitboxes make it a little bit frustrating sometimes.

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

Well executed and balanced shapeshifter platformer! :)
Each shape felt different enough, and the learning curve was good.
(did not finish because I am a crappy platformer player ;))

Awesome!
Level 7 though grrrrrrrrrrrr that was hard! But finally made it! :D
Great controls, great graphics, great music! Loved how the music changed depending on what form I was in!
Only thing I would change is make the hitbox on the bird smaller, level 7 was only hard because of this.
Great game loop, auto restart on death was good

Very well done. Nice puzzles, nice controls overall, hitbox issues as mentioned, but other than that I just wish there was more.

great game, great puzzles I had a hard time get past the falling fireballs, I guess, practice makes perfect :) but overall it was great, nice graphics as well. Good job!

Really nice work! Level design was good and taught the mechanics nicely. Graphics and musics were done well! I had a couple of minor issues: the movement was a bit too slippy, and I felt like the collision of the bird/fireballs was a little too unforgiving. Still, great work!

Nice game. The change of music when you switch form is a nice touch! :)

Short but sweet. The bird jumping controls was annoying though.

Hey,

Very interesting game. I like the changing controls when you change animal. I think it really serves the theme well. My hand got really tired on that last level though. Flying up took a long time.
