It's very difficult, intentionally, but I stuck with it for a while and actually got pretty good at it! Super satisfying animations, and a great sense of humor conveyed just through the feel of the mechanics. Great work!!"},{"author_name":"sumguy67","author_uid":"47621","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 5:35am","epoch":1461130200,"text":"Very challenging, but very fun and nice looking game!"},{"author_name":"medidog","author_uid":"89905","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 6:03am","epoch":1461131880,"text":"Very cool looking game but really hard controls for me...

A cool 17 points!!\r\rThat's really awesome! I had a hard time getting used to the controls, but when I did, it became really satisfying to get into the rhythm of switching between the forms. It also feels like more of a cerebral challenge than your usual runner-type game, because you have to think about a lot more in terms of how the physics of the different objects work.\rNice one!"},{"author_name":"andyman404","author_uid":"45696","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 6:49pm","epoch":1461177840,"text":"I like the aesthetics. Cool application of theme onto an infinite runner\/jumper. Super difficult though. I wish it started out slower in speed. My high score was only 5.
