I just think you could increment some more fight moves in the future for this game, to make the fighting mechanic more diverse and less simple. But this was a fun game in this jam and get the theme very well and in a creative way!"},{"author_name":"treegemmer","author_uid":"87755","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 3:55am","epoch":1460951400,"text":"I got this sort of working in firefox, except most of the assets are not rendering (just black)."},{"author_name":"urfbound","author_uid":"56066","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 4:27am","epoch":1460953320,"text":"Cool combo of Joust, Super Smash Bros. and rock-paper-scissors! I love the graphics, really polished and having a wicked GBA vibe to me. I don't know whether it was the idea, but for some reason it reminded me a lot of Mega Man Battle Network (a very good thing :D). I think that the controls were tight and the addition of local multiplayer was a really stellar touch. I like the sound effects a lot too. Only complaint I had was that a bad rock-paper-scissors choice can leave you in the lurch pretty hard. It would be cool if a theoretical future iteration of this game had something that let you control both your shape and your opponent's shape between changes. One way I thought of might be to have items for each shape (green red, etc.) that you could consume to become that shape, or throw at your enemy, and if you hit change THEM to that shape instead. Overall and addictive, fun and hilarious to play with a friend, and overall great entry! Awesome work, hope you do great in the compo. Thanks for your submission! Had a blast playing."},{"author_name":"Tharky","author_uid":"38410","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 12:09pm","epoch":1460981040,"text":"Graphics were so good!

Loved the use of color, and the particles in the background. The mechanics were simple, and the platforming was pretty well-done, if kinda floaty (I just spammed attack and floated for a while as the AI kept jumping into me). I didn't notice much difference at all between elemental types, and seemed to knock the opponent the same distance most of the time. It'd have been nice to have more variety of actions; for a LD, less time spent on graphics and more spent on creating gameplay goes a long way!"},{"author_name":"Roland M","author_uid":"88456","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 12:07am","epoch":1461196920,"text":"Awesome graphics man, really liked the idea of a Smash Bros game + Shapeshifting. =]"},{"author_name":"Weeping Rupee","author_uid":"60016","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 12:09am","epoch":1461197040,"text":"I like your sprites.
