Great weapon and well-designed puzzle levels :) Sound effects were good, graphics were decent, but the concept and the different transformations for different enemies make it a very solid entry :D\r\rOnly thing I would suggest slightly tweaking would be the movement, as it feels a bit floaty.\r\rGood luck!"},{"author_name":"strong99","author_uid":"8175","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 11:46am","epoch":1429702860,"text":"Really nice game to play, well done :)"},{"author_name":"Icelus","author_uid":"15515","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 11:48am","epoch":1429702980,"text":"@Ale2Tobias\r\rThank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! You are correct, there are numerous defects. Unfortunately I wasn't able to fix them all in time, and I figure I shouldn't upload a new version with them fixed. If I end up working on the game past LD, I will definitely fix them."},{"author_name":"Icelus","author_uid":"15515","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 11:52am","epoch":1429703220,"text":"@esayitch\r\rThank you for the detailed feedback, I appreciate it!\r\rI honestly had a lot of fun with this concept. Some gamejams, it's fun for a bit, but then kind of a grind. Making this game was really fun for some reason. I don't know, just the idea of turning enemies into silly objects a la Scarlet Witch or Dr. Strange seemed hilarious to me.\r\rI agree with you, the movement could definitely use work, I admittedly didn't spend much time adjusting the player's numbers. I will work on that going forward, added it to my to-do list."},{"author_name":"TheScopelessOne","author_uid":"50730","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 12:39pm","epoch":1429706040,"text":"The flashing of the enemy when they are frozxen is a bit missleading.

I initially wanted a clear visual indicator to say "hey, something is about to change here", but flashing from visible to invisible indicates they will disappear or die, so it was a poor choice. I just didn't have time to improve it.\r\rI will test other options, such as flashing to white and back again, and see if I can come up with something that more clearly communicates what will happen to the enemy. \r\rI just added this to my to-do list, great feedback!"},{"author_name":"01101101","author_uid":"5105","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 4:53pm","epoch":1429721280,"text":"Really nice, your characters are very cute :)"},{"author_name":"suppi","author_uid":"29243","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 5:45pm","epoch":1429724400,"text":"it is very good and the puzzles are great, but the controls still needs some tuning.\rgood job!"},{"author_name":"StrayByte","author_uid":"49933","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 5:52pm","epoch":1429724820,"text":"Well designed, intuitive, fun, all the great things.

Yeah I didn't spend much time on the audio unfortunately. The laser sound effect is a bit too long as well.

It's really basic, and what I like about it is how it include other enemies sooner on. What you lack, is motivation to make the players reach to those levels, without just rating it as crap.
