Hey, VERY VERY fun to play! nice control and an ultimate shape shift ability. one of the best games i tested in ld35. i don´t like the short and simple music loop and the overal quality of the sound samples, but thats okay.

more of this speedshifting guy!

Hey, fun gameplay! This has potential. I was thinking during the first level that this concept would be fun as a kind of "speed runner", and then I got to Level 2 and there it was!
One thing that limited the fun for me, was that the controls felt a bit slow/sluggish or unresponsive. It would sometimes take the character around 1 second to transform back to human shape after I released shift (and vice versa). Also, the thing following the player in Level 2 should probably follow a directed pattern or something, because he always ended up taking a shortcut thru the map and thus catching up to even faster than if I wouldve been slow. :)

Good job!

Fun game overall. I hate levels with a enormous wall chasing you ;) I can see this title evolving into a speedrun game. Please continue developing it.

Music loop is to short and Shifting back to human takes too long.

Really like the design and the overall feeling, a bit too easy to die perhaps, in general great game!

Kept getting killed by the red blob in the double tree area, but it was a fun game. Character looks a little out of place with the background quality.

Controls were awesome. I would have liked some more stuff to do with the big and heavy form. But I really liked the game.

Nice work! Once I figured out how the movement worked on the fast form it was really fun. Would have been cool to have more for the slow tough guy to do, beatin up baddies etc, he looks so cool but all his good for is busting through walls, poor guy! :P Anyway, enjoyed it, thanks!

Great game, mechanics well communicated. To keep up the pace the transformation could probably be a bit faster. Why am I collecting points?

Cool game, I liked the art style.
Not a fan of the controls though, needed a few attempts to figure out how to wall jump and the shapeshifting doesn't feel direct enough.
Second level was actually quite a challenge.
Overall fun to play.

Very fun game and nice use of the theme but the controls were a bit hard to use in my opinion. Still, very nice!

Beautiful environment! I loved the flowers and the vines, just a bit annoyed by the purple pijama ninja.

I would have loved if the "light and fast" shape would last longer. Good job!

Very good game, however performance becomes a bit of an issue and the game is sometimes unresponsive

Great game! Mechanics are very original and art is impressive. However I see levels with the wall a bit hard, but nice work!

Very fun game, but that second level is hard by jumping on that first log that is vertical
