POST RESULTS EDIT:
Wow Thanks everyone! This is my first time doing Ludum Dare and I'm surprised with the results!
And boy! This contest is an amazing experience!
I may have neglected voting and checking out other games and I apologize for that! ><"
However, my personal goal was achieved! I managed to complete this entry and get some reviews and opinions by you wonderful people! I truly appreciate that~
I look forward to the next LD (and hope to be more active for the next one)
++++++++++++++++
Here's my first Ludum Dare attempt 'x')/
I was kinda lost at first and I feel that I wasted some time but.
Overall considering I tried to do something in 2 days (Seriously people, you guys are the MVP here >w<)b )
Now, about the game.
When it said Shapeshift I instantly thought of Basic Shapes. So the player can change his state between 3 forms.
What that does? It allows you to collect other "coins" and pass through the current color bullets.
I wanted to make the change more distinct so there's the Sound Effect, Animation (well... not the greatest but...) and Music being affected by that.
Oh! and the music! I really need to work in that department... It took more than I thought producing it.
Ludum Dare is a awesome experience and I do recommend people try it someday! Just be aware that it isn't a walk in the park developing games in a short time ><"
Hopefully you enjoy it! (And post the points in the comments if you want 'x')

Anyways nice entry!
In the first 10-20 tires I did not realize that you could only pick up the power ups in the same shape as the player, I just thought that they had a really small hitbox.
The green and yellow shapes looks to much alike, would be nice with more contrast.
I agree with Ghust1995 that its easier to not change shape, especially because the gray shape in between. I also never realizes which order you changed the shape in. I would have preferred to have two different states changing between two shape with one button or 3 states with 3 different buttons.
otherwise I like it a lot, got 90 points with a game pad :)
I think it will be better that the transition time between shapes is shorter.
