Get fat and loose weight instantly to interact with the objects in every room.

Find the button, press it of course. That will open a door, enter it.

Help little johnny through this experiment that will put his special super power to test.

Spikes may kill you.

PS: I do apologize for any minor bugs, unpleasant SFX and poor art quality, but the idea is still there. Apparently, mountain dew does not make me a super human.

Hehehe it's more frustrating than Montezuma's Revenge on C64 :)
I'd like it to have some "get ready" information just to let me know I't another try.
And perhaps I'm just impatient, but I thought it would be awesome to be able to choose difficulty level, with at least one second more for noobs like me...

That third level is so difficult, but the use of the theme was great

Great interpretation of "shapeshift".

The artstyle wasn't anything special really, but it did the job well enough, so I can't fault the game on that. Especially considering how great the actual game is, it's hard to throw flack around. It's not super polished, but it is good geniune fun and feels like a real game which is a thing that not a lot of LD games have going for them. The mechanics were a fun take on the theme and I think adding a restriction to the amount of times the player could switch forms was a simple, yet brilliant way to add depth. Overall, great entry!

The door opening noise is harsh!

Heya, I liked the concept of shifting between weights. Could have used some background tune (even autotracker would have made it happier IMO).

Nice entry and concept :)

Good luck!

Couldn't get passed 2nd level cause the time was too short.

Nice concept and mechanics! I Liked the variations you made in every level and the restriction to shapeshift a specific amount of times, it makes you think every move. Took me a few tries to beat third level. Overall nice game! P.S. Practice more your pixel art! :)
