The character design is really good. I like the individual portraits of each shift. I really like the shark.

Love the game, but the computers voice made me want to stop.

You might want to update your description to say "WASD to move, Arrow Keys to shoot." It took me quite a while to figure out I was supposed to be using twin stick style controls and I was very confused.

After I figured that out, the game was fun enough, but I think there should be some more reason to shift to the different characters, like they have individual power bars or something. As it is, you can just choose the shark and blast everything pretty easily.

The fact that I could shapeshift wasn't obvious to me at first - you should mention it in your instructions.

Really nice art style, and good hectic gameplay.

Nice arcade shooter! I wish I had a second or so of invulnerability when the enemies spawn for the next level.

The game looks great! It runs flawlessly and the other forms look great. A.I. is good on the robots and movement is a breeze.
I cant wait to see where this goes from here!
Also I agree with WG_phancock had said, i had to read the comments to figure out how to attack.

The characters are by far the best part about this game! They're just so cute!

At first, I died because there wasn't a warning that the game was going to start. But once I got the hang of things, I actually got pretty good! Nice work :)

Really enjoyed this game, although I struggled at first as the game just started and I didn't know the controls. Once I figured them out it got pretty good, I enjoyed the different way each of the creatures played, and how the game's difficulty ramped up as you played. I did keep getting stuck on/in walls though, which made me a sitting duck for the robots.

Cute game, graphics are good, sounds is okay. I like the different characters, the 4th one is definetly the strongest by far tho. I came to level 4. The spawning mechanism in this game is a no-go. Especially for the start. You can't put the player in the middle of 10 enemies that instantly start shooting.

I like the character art and the different abilities. The shark character seems to be the best by far though, so some more balance is required.

The character design was nice, but quite a hard game... and also weird controls

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Cool game, had fun playing it :)

Maybe adding some downside to each character could justify the shapeshifiting, for me the shark was the best one to use at all time. Also, adding a counter on the begin of each level could be cool, so the player can trace a escape trajectory, or some invulnerability for some seconds, something like that ;)
