Well-known but proven to be fun concept. Shapeshifting aspect might've come a bit short (it's really just color changing), but the execution is well done, and fun to play. Interesting music, too =)

Simple and fun, maybe it need to be a little more challenging ;)

Great game! Survived for 5 minutes without it getting tedious :D

The only problem I had was that even though I had the same color and a bigger size than the other circle I couldn't eat him. :c Either it's a bug or a gameplay element I missed.

And for your first LD it's AWESOME! :D
Hope to see you for the next compo/ jam!

Shape-shifting and color-changing really are the same thing mechanically (switching states) so I don't mind that you're using colors instead of physical properties/shapes. Great concept!

It was a little bit confusing.

I didn't get how to play it first, the whole eating/killing cells, but once I got the basics, the game's really fun and challenging. :)

I feel that yellow/green should have a bit more of a difference between them, specially for people with some kind of colorblindness (I have some problems with these two colors, for example, and I often didn't distinguish between both).

But it's pretty fun, and the controls work nicely and fast as they should. :)

P.s.: after playing the game for 1:45min, the game suddenly crashed, I don't know if it's a Win10 thing, will try it again later so I can clearly say it. :) I could play the game and have fun, even with this happening. ;)

Cheers! :)

Nice little concept, had good fun running around. Might need a little bit of an 'end game' tho - I imagine I could survive forever. :)
