Can't vote because I haven't submitted the jam game yet but WOW! I just wanted to say that this is lovely on so many awesome levels. Watching you improve over the years has been inspiring to say the least.

An excellent little game. I love the aesthetic and everything fits together very nicely. The shapeshifting into other forms and getting their abilities was very cool too. Very juicy as well, lots of nice little touches like the trees and static objects being slightly animated. I ran it several times, and it seems like it is randomly generated, but at times I get blocked off from further progress, but this is fairly minor. Awesome job!

Really like the character movements, and just how the environment feels. Very nicely done.

Really cool visual style, nice animations, makes for a good general mood. Didn't get how to play at first (wasn't grabbing the powers for some reason) but once you get it it runs pretty smoothly.
Nicely done! :)

Really amazing looking game, the graphics and animations flow so nicely. I love how the squid creatures bounce around and dodge attacks forcing you to aim and time your attacks carefully rather than just spamming them (which I was doing at first). The audio was nice too, I liked how the music changed tone and tempo when a squid spotted you and the sound effects of pretty much everything fit well too.

I didn't get to experience the boss fight unfortunately, I got lost behind the tress and in dead ends in the forest, and didn't have a clue how to progress. Really liked what I experienced though.

This is some GML magic right here. Especially for a compo entry. Love the visuals, nice sound effects too.

Absolutely amazing. The animations and physics of the ninja are amazing. The art style is really great. The controls are great, and how responsive everything is. I feel like Adventure Time deserves to have a game this good with it's IP. 5-Stars!

This game leaves an impression right away just cause of how cool it looks. Love all the particles, and the way the music matches the action, there's a lot of cool attention to detail. The progression felt a little weird, I almost wish it was an arena game, and you earned the transformations by clearing waves. Either way, really neat game, with a really charming aesthetic.

My favorite game so far. I love the look as well as the music - the music blending so well when it goes into battle is a very nice touch. The animations are amazing. I loved being a cat ninja.

Overall awesomeness.

Really cute game! The art was cool and I especially liked how the background music transitioned into the fight music.

I was a bit disappointed that there weren't any enemies which required you to switch between forms or some simple puzzle mechanics (I mostly just spammed the turtle-stomp), but that might be asking for too much from a game jam title!

P.S. A minor bug I noticed was that sometimes trees around the edges of the screen would pop in and out when I was walking around. My guess was that this was because their visibility is based on the player's position instead of the camera, which has some delay to it.

Overall this was a great little game!

Sweet! The combat was very hard because of how fast the enemies are and I ended up cheesing a lot of the encounters with the turtle power, but the graphics were wonderful and I loved the sounds as well. Really nifty!

Wonderful art style, the tree kept vanishing/flickering for me though? But other than that very fun

Haha, this is excellent. Although I seem to be stuck in an infinite loop where octopuses chase me down and hunt me to my death... and there doesn't seem to be any escape. Totally can't find the giant blue one!

Looked rad as fuck. I was really confused in the beginning, I think it could've been slightly better explained. I came back to look for a control description on this page and found nothing. I mean, I worked it out after a couple of minutes but still, my start to the game was pretty clumsy, it wasn't until I got to the second orb thing that I knew I could even transform. Found a gamebreaking bug where the trees disappear too :P.

Physics/controls are really nice, looks amazing (technically very impressive too, is this fake 3d?! looks low poly!), pretty funny. Good entry all round.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

F'ing amazing and f'ing hilarious. However, it'd be way better if all 3 forms were useful for something. I ended up using only the turtle form and it made the final boss too easy.

The turtle transformation is OP, I just jumped without stopping and killed everybody
The player animations are flawless *o*
did you use 3D for them? (cuz its gamer maker etc...)

Such great style, loved the simple character design. The different character transformations were also a nice touch and throwing those ninja stars was too much fun.
