Story
-----
The Magnificent Lepus is the most famous rabbit cannonball of our time. But this is no ordinary rabbit cannonball (as if there is such a thing!). Our hero can shapeshift into three different shapes that are useful for traversing difficult terrain.
I just beat it and so far it's the most fun submission I've played. Some of the later levels were really cool and used the bouncing form well! I also like the flying transformation sound for some reason.
Cool game, one of the best i played. Had some hard levels which is great, final level was abit of a letdown for me since it was quite easy compared to some others.
Super fun game! The controls are a little less tight than I'd prefer, but other than that it is very well designed. I didn't like the music much, and the game unfortunately lacks a mute button... anyway, good game!
Really funny, neat game. I included it in my video compliation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/NeUaByS_1JI
audio got a little obnoxious after a while, but this is a nice, polished puzzle game with some good progression of skills. a little balancing, and it would be great!
Wonderful sound design and background music, it really fits the floaty graphics and the puffy clouds floating about. Nice pitch down effect as well. I was expecting some 'loading' energy bars (until I got it that the space bar only fires) and a bit more graphical feedback when changing shapes. It's almost a rhythm game in a way :)
I didn't understand the game at all at the beginning, but I tried hard and finally be able to enjoy the full concept of your game! And I must say it was pretty good :D I finished all levels, all well designed. The difficulty scaling is well made, it's not too hard or too easy.
If graphics and audio were just slightly better, it could have been the killer app of this jam!

The sound on the digging is quite annoyingly high.

It's still overall a great entry :)
