Arg!\r<br\/>Love the shape\/color shifting mechanic and the level design, lots of tricks here and there until you figure out which is the best course of action to get to the end.\r<br\/>Perhaps I would add a mouse control, in order to move the camera more precisely.\r<br\/>Congratulations on the game!"},{"author_name":"Rakowu","author_uid":"91826","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 10:55am","epoch":1461063000,"text":"That game looks simple but I had really fun with it.

I felt like the controls were a bit too sensitive at times. This could be remedied by having some sort of sensitivity adjustment the player can change. Also, I think you should tell the player what shape he needs to become on the status bar so he does not have to go find it. This is a nice idea and if you add a few more game play elements sprinkled throughout the levels ( maybe a new element or mechanic every 10 levels), you could definitely entertain someone for 100 levels."},{"author_name":"meganukebmp","author_uid":"90570","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 11:25am","epoch":1461064800,"text":"I enjoyed this very much.

I felt like a little shape ninja sneaking in to grab the yellow triangle in level 13.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked the floaty controls.
