Real shapeshifting! :) I mean shapeshifting to more then a predefined set of shapes is great. If the character would move a bit faster it would be even better. Also like the exploration aspect and the knockout sound effect. Nice!

This is a well thought out game. I really enjoyed the shapeshifting aspect to this one. And the music and sound effects are great X)

Nice music. The isometric controls took a bit of fiddling but worked ok. I wanted a run button, or faster walk speed maybe?

I escaped!

Me ha molado mucho el juego, y el concepto. El control un poco lento, pero muy guapo!

Muy muy currado. Al principio un poco confuso sobre "quien vence a quien" pero se pilla la mecanica rapido. El arte me ha recordado al little big adcenture. Muy bien!

Nice game! Music and graphics are cool! I had some bugs with a fainting woman flying through the room, or having to constantly walk around the "body" to shapeshift, but that's ok. I had a bit trouble understanding the second level... I still don't know if I did it right... Missed some running too.

Congrats on your entry!

Un juego magnífico!! Como alguno dice por ahí, quizá el movimiento de los personajes es algo lento, lo que no importa mucho en el primer nivel, pero en cuanto el escenario se hace un poco más grande y te pierdes un poco cuesta.

Genial enserio :)

Great game, really enjoyed it. I wanted more. My only critique would be to have the character move a bit faster.

Love the art! Whole vibe reminded me of Little Big Planet. I wish the game was a bit faster paced and objectives were a bit more obvious.
Overall, great stuff!

I think that is the ideal shapeshifter game concept. And you made it on the best way I´ve reviewed right now. Congrats team!

Loved it! Only issue is that it can be hard to shift and the humans in particular can fall on you and block you into a corner. If you fix those minor control issues and build out the game, etc., I'd be willing to buy it. I really do like it. Try to come up with some more variety in puzzles. I myself enjoy some difficult ones, but some people complain about it. Anyway, great job!

Nice models, overall very appealing colors, well done. Combination of 3d and isometric looks appealing, interesting choose!

Al principio cuesta salir de la celda. Si te pones cerca del perro y te transformas sale volando xd, Me he quedado pillado con el gato detrás de la pelirroja. El arte mola y el juego se podría convertir en un buen juego de sigilo y estrategia.

Wow, this is very impressive. I loved the loading screen - really unique. The art, and atmosphere really made this. I struggled with the controls. Playing for 20 minutes, I still could not master them. I would like the idea of a forward key, and the side keys would rotate -as opposed to a key being a direction. But other than that, I absolutely love this game!

I really loved that the shapelifting mechanic can be used both for shapelifting unconscious beings and for making them unconscious and then shapelifting. It's very elegant and well thought!
I would really like to see this turned into a full game! Very good job! You're getting 5 stars!! :)

A wonderful game with awesome graphics :) The only thing I found bad was that at the very beginning it is pretty hard to leave the cell.

Really enjoyed this. Nicely thought out puzzles with a neat mechanic. Beautiful visuals, music and mood too. I had a couple of problems with characters getting stuck against walls or in corners - I had to quit the first level at one point because I walked behind the girl as a cat and couldn't get out again - but nothing which really spoiled my enjoyment.

Great work!

Impressive ,Pretty much a good amount of content even for 3 day!
The physics were a bit strange
when I shifted to a dog the first time I found my self flying up then fell back again
also when I made a woman unconscious she moved "while laying on the ground" to the door , moved the guards away and opens the door :P
The level design was really cool.

Very nice graphics, but there is a lot of bugs. I shapeshifted to a dog and fly into the cellar and get stuck..

That is a truly cool game. With compelling story it can make the steady and fast way to the top. It just need a little work on controls to make movement smooth and more responsive.

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

Almost completely realized. The first level felt very polished! The second level, a woman fainted at the sight of the rat and slid across the floor until she came to a stop in a doorway- barring completion of the level! At least I think so- I fooled around for 20 minutes, shifting and shaping, and then I gave up. Will try again in the future!

FYI - Can't load it in WebGL, out of memory error stating that you need to allocate more memory. So I downloaded the game. While it looks great and the concept of the shapeshifting was a great idea, I just really couldn't figure out what I was suppose to be doing after I changed to a rat > to dog > to cat. controls were a bit difficult to use.

Good graphics, they are like mine :D
but there was a strange bug that made the girl on the second level begin to slide to some door after she fell unconscious.

What a great entry! There is a lot of charm to this game. I love the idea behind being able to transform into the different animals and things. It was cool escaping from jail that way, and it was interesting which being would work against others. Nice job!

This was amazing! Solid puzzle shapeshifting, great humor, but a bit on the buggy side. Had a character pass out, and their body flew across the world on level 2.
