The control scheme I feel could use s few more options.

Getting stuck in platforms, warping throuhg (I know about the mechanic, this was seperate from that), and not being able to switch forms in both directions really took away from the experience. Only two forms may have been better, and platforms moving faster, at the same speed relative to each other could have made the game much more fluid and enjoyable.

Would have preferred slightly different controls (arrows + zx\/xc\/cv or something as an option would have been nice - something about jumping with W and changing with space rubbed me the wrong way a bit) but the difficulty was nice, i liked the mounting pressure to jump as you got higher and higher.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Could have used particles, sound, and maybe more stuff to dodge (killer stuff from the sides maybe?) but it was pretty sweet."},{"author_name":"Cosmologicon","author_uid":"1151","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 2:49am","epoch":1461206640,"text":"The controls could use some tightening up.
