The ambiance is also really great.

I don't no how to pass the 3rd level. I think because i don't know how to switch between object after placing the square.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Audio fits the game"},{"author_name":"rantt","author_uid":"41103","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 1:57pm","epoch":1460987520,"text":"Really clever use of the theme, and the music fit well.  I got stuck on the 3rd level, until I saw the note about they have to be the same shape to jump between them, which is really cool mechanic since it forces you to think ahead.  Fun game, I really enjoyed it :)"},{"author_name":"Garrett Hoofman","author_uid":"4043","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 4:20pm","epoch":1460996100,"text":"So, I tried it again, and I was able to get passed the 3rd level and I thought I understood and had that ah hah moment. Then I got to the 4th level and was even more confused. It seems like the shapes don't need to be the shape that you put them on or something?"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 3:18pm","epoch":1461165180,"text":"Really interesting game!

Great concept! I particularly enjoyed the last puzzle.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Minor annoyance: the controls could have been more intuitive. Perhaps drag with left mouse button to rotate, right mouse button to move? The distinction between &quot;selectable&quot; sparkles and &quot;selected&quot; sparkles wasn't entirely clear either."},{"author_name":"bentglasstube","author_uid":"50659","time":"Apr 30, 2016 @ 11:41pm","epoch":1462059360,"text":"I really liked the mechanics of the puzzle and though it was an interesting challenge to figure out what to do with the shapes.

Once you place one shape on a button, rotate it, and then select the other. Place it, then reselect the first, and rotate it to match the button.\r\n\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT: Please leave honest and blunt feedback. Saying something is alright when it isn't doesn't help me learn. Be brutal.\r\n\r\nBest with headphones.\r\n\r\nYou play as a phantom that can hop from object to object to open a portal to hop through.\r\nHowever, you can only hope to an object that has the same shape as the one you currently are possessing. Circles to circles, squares to squares, rectangles to rectangles and squares, etc.\r\nYou can also rotate objects to give them a new shape. Hence, you are a shape-shifter.\r\n\r\nInstructions are in the game, but here you go anyways:\r\nClick to possess an object,\r\nWASDQE to rotate that object,\r\nSpacebar to toggle between phantom mode (rotation and possession) and normal mode (movement),\r\nWASD while in normal mode to move an object,\r\nR or escape restarts the level.\r\n\r\nPut objects of the corresponding shape on all of the buttons in order to complete open the portal. Click on the portal to complete the level.\r\n\r\nHave fun! Please let me know all of your thoughts, both good and bad.","title":"Point of View"}
