Shapeshift your way to safety! You need to use your gift to make your way past the various CCTV cameras and patrolling guards to get the truck.

You can change your form into any object that is coloured green. Stand next to it, press space or A on a Xbox 360 controller and *poof*! But your new form won't last long so act quick!

Make sure you hack terminals along the way to save your progress just in case you get caught!

WASD - move
Space - Use Terminal/Shapeshift

A Button - Use Terminal/Shapeshift

very good concept, well executed, that said, you can run past the "guards" and beat the level

Target reached ! Evading the guards was pretty easy.
Overall nice game, definitely captured the theme.

Nice little bite sized game. I enjoyed the concept, but it seemed like a lot of the times the guards would still catch me while shapeshifted.

This is a really nice game. This almost has a metal gear feel to it.

This is a fun game, and the concept is pretty neat. If this is developed further later, it would be cool if each of the forms had some kind of unique aspect.

It's like Hide n Seek from Gmod or Minecraft but better.

Nice entry, complies perfectly with the theme and the music is suiting. Pitty it's a bit short and easy - the levels could be more intrique, but altogether - solid entry, good job!

The concept is a single-player puzzle game of prop hunt, nice idea and very fun game, congrats

Wow nice game. Looks really good even though 'people' are cylinders. Good progression too.

Nice game. However, I could outrun the guard for large parts.

Sometimes I could not shapeshift, even though I stood right next to it :( But overall great game :P

Solid take on this idea, very similar to my own (great minds!) I like that you actually use the shape shifting as part of the world navigation, and the alert states are really solid. Loved it!

Great idea and ominous atmosphere. Also quite tricky. Nicely done!

Not a bad game, nice concept, but you can just run past enemies, and win the level.

Short game about Benny-Hill-like chase and quite simple morph.

Nice and enjoyable "stealth-like" game. Graphics are pretty and music is fitting very well. Good job.

Awesome game! Used the theme very well. Controls worked well and was just really fun. Graphics were (obviously) simplistic, but the posters/help text made me laugh at the end.

My only suggestion would be to add some sort of visual showing how long until you transform back to normal. Otherwise, awesome work and I really want to play an expanded version :)

That was a lot of fun to play, but pretty darn difficult! I think it could be made easier by a camera that shows you a little bit more of the scene. In any case, good stuff!

Sliding past guards as a traffic cone really made me laugh, game overall was cool, good job

Enjoyed the prop-hunt feel to this game, loved the feel of running away.

Great concept, clever implementation, very clean, very sleek.
Also, one cannot fault a game with sentient traffic cones.

Really nice! I could see this being fleshed out into something bigger with more levels and such, it's great fun to play.

I found that the guards could get a bit confused at times, though it was enormous fun running around them and ending up with three guards all chasing me as I raced toward a terminal! I also found that sometimes guards from other areas that had come to catch me stayed in the same place when I respawned, and instantly saw me.

All in all, very enjoyable entry. Looks lovely and plays well.
