This is my type of game! but I don't know if it's a bug or a mechanic I just didn't understand, but the jumping was quite random and unresponsive for me something that made me tilted at times

Being transformed though the levels is really nice, the theme is hereand the experience is really fun !! Good job !!

The idea is very nice, but I feel it's a bit unfair. The controls need to be a bit more precise, otherwise need more time. It has potential to be a great game. Good job!

I like the idea, a good twist on the "die and retry" formula, and the narrator is a really nice touch.
The 6th level is a bit harsh tho, I couldn't beat it.

Very fun in it's current state. The time limit with the transformation is an excellent mechanic. It might be a good idea to extend it a little because in a lot of cases the player was reaaaaally rushing against the time. You could balance it with an auto-transform button that would transform them on the spot instead of needing to wait, which might help the pace a bit. Overall, really loved this and great job!
