I quite like your game, but it is simply too hard, even on easy. It would also be nice if the controls were shown in game

But indeed some quite good elements :)

I quite like the core mechanics, but the game is very difficult, even on easy! Nice music aswell

Frantic! Pretty brutal difficulty-wise, managed about 2500 points, is that good? Liked the core mechanic of shape shifting!

Well done!

Nice idea! I think chrras is right that it'd be nice if it were a bit easier, or eased you into it a bit more, but good concept :)

Very good space shooter game. Its was really fun and fast pacing while you shoot and change shape very fast while dodging everything! Nice job!

Its quit challenging I admit it :)
The key is to build up your combo in order to become stronger quickly, its become easier then.

@LeftRight92 : I try to make a webGL version but it s not running because of a memory limit problem :(

Definitely not the easiest game in the world, but fun.

The game is a tad hard, but I got quite far on easy mode. It would be make a cool twin stick shooter, if you could shoot in all directions rather that just to the right.

Interesting idea, but too hard for me

Cool! I like how shape shifting is used to avoid enemies. It is pretty hard, but I think overall it is polished and well made.

Hi, I was not able to run web version. It pointed me to the dropbox instead to a web version of game. Can you provide the web version as a webpage?

@janiq I dont have any web site to host a version as a webpage, but you can try the webGL version

Great game! Played the WebGL build could only see the score/combo/lives if I full-screened it though.

I really like the combo mechanic, really pushes you to try to keep going as long as you can with a given shape.

Died to the boss on Normal on my first try and then beat it on Easy without losing a life... so Easy definitely isn't too hard now =)

Sound is great and some of the graphical effects are neat too! I like the concept but there's too much going on to parse at any one time. I think it would benefit a lot from some sort of staged introduction to the mechanics. Due to the way the different shapes move, staying in triangle form, shooting the circles and dodging the squares seems better than ever trying to actually shapeshift. Minor gripe: the menu buttons on the title screen seem weirdly unresponsive.

Pretty good overal.. It was hard! but I was able to make some good progress. Love the switching, the music and the sound effects were spot on. Good job!
