cool mechanics of switching to different animals for a specific purpose, it's cool that there is a plot, it touched me, I liked the calm music, but the game is very slow and as soon as you make a mistake once you have to re-go through everything and it's sad

The lack of checkpoints makes dying really frustrating but I really liked the mechanics. With some smoother movement and some save points this could be a really really fun game. Overall a nice experience, I enjoyed it.

Cute and interesting concept, the transition between bugs was really smooth.

Pretty fun game, changing based on what you needed was a cool idea, but i definitely would have liked more enemy variation, and checkpoints would have been nice. But overall i had fun. Thanks!

Very cute game! Great graphics, and I liked the mechanic of switching form to have different abilities but also different weaknesses. Great job!

I had a really good time with this game ! perfect length and an interesting idea, the camera especially felt very polished. it could be cool to see this expanded with more interactions from each of the forms (at times it feels like you just play as moth and the caterpillar and cocoon are abilities.

fun transformation mechanics combined with player physics, I like building momentum form the moth form and zooming as a caterpillar :) I managed to make it through without needing a checkpoint but I can see there could be some frustration without. Very impressive!

Nice game. The switching mechanic was well done.
Having to start over when hitting a zapper that was just off the current screen was annoying.

Fun Idea, I loved the cute story in the beginning, told with images. The mechanics were interesting and were used nicely. I could also see this game expanded for more complicated levels. I died only once because I didn't know the cocoon cannot take a zap from bugzapper (why would it really? That was just me being dumb and thinking a cocoon is so hard birds don't damage it so it could stand a chance against zapper).

Graphics were a mixed bag. Part looked very good and detailed, part looked drawn in paint and part even stretched and resized images.

The music made a nice and relaxed mood. Enjoyable game overall. Played it all the way through. Good work!

The idea is very good, but I couldn't stand it because of the lack of checkpoints

A very creative concept for creating this game! Something I would add is checkpoints (because after you die you have to restart the whole game again and again). Overall, the graphics are simple but nice, same goes for the audio part. Good job!

nice platformer, all main mechanics are used in gameplay, that's a plus, graphics are also good, no bugs, I liked playing as a butterfly the most)

So cute! And I love the metamorphosis mechanic! I found three bugs, but cute ones

I really enjoyed this! You made great use of the three different types and it felt like each had an equal share of the gameplay. I somehow managed to finish the game on the first try, so I don't know if the difficulty needs to be ramped up (I am no where near good at video games) or I just got extremely lucky, but at the very least I enjoyed what I played. Nice work!

I really liked the mechanic to switch between the different player states. It has alot of potential for a platformer or sonic-esque kind of game.

The eagles could have been a bit more difficult though :thinking: But that's just me :smile:

Nice entry!

It's reqlly missing some music, a little sad without it, and pleaaaaase implement checkpoints, restarting from the beginnning was painfull lol

Checkpoints would have been nice, nice thematic mechanics with the metamorphosis options!

Great game, the mechanics are really interesting and used very well (each with its strengths and weaknesses). Really liked it :smile:

dat music in the end) has pretty har without checkpoints. Cool level design and physics, actually. Worm form could have more mechanics, but anyway it was nice
Jupton18 Oct 2024, 10:05
Loved the swapping form mechanics. It felt very fluid and satisfying swapping between them all to navigate the level.

Reminds me of the game Gish. Changing states is a cool theme. It's both puzzles and reflex training. And cute drawing, a separate plus for it.

Nice idea! Great game! A lot of minimalism, imagination, time, work and motivation! Nice theme, but try to make the enemy a bit faster, and more objects on the level. But overall it's nice!

What a great idea! Very cool build up of explaining the "how to" too!
PlescaEugen20 Oct 2024, 08:20
