Interesting game. I don't think the shape shifting was quite fast enough for some situations, but otherwise it was fine. I didn't find a way to deal with the robot birds, though. They seemed like a little bit of a cheap shot, since you couldn't get the rider to avoid the drops.

Awesome graphics!!
Good Audio too...
Simple but effective mechanic!

I would have loved to transform quickly though.. there was some sort of cool down to change again..

It's possible to transform into a bird, fly offscreen over the cyclist, and end up on the bottom lane or below. It's reversible but... I was troubled momentarily.
The robot birds are a menace.
Nice parallax.

Art and mechanics are nice, but it's a little bit difficult to play. More intuitive controls would make a great game :D

Lovely retro graphics, great use of shapeshifting, really like the idea. Although it's not very clear how to win/lose I really didn't understand the mechanic of the bar.
Great game overall!!!

The game was interesting and the theme was well executed. The game was a bit frustrating at times and the goal was unclear. I liked changing into different forms, however changing had a cooldown and at times I was punished unfairly. I had to change from dog, to bird, to tank to clear an obstacle, but I was too slow simply because of cooldown. Ok attempt overall.

Good job! I enjoyed everything except the cooldown of the shapeshifting! Remove the cooldown (or at least greatly decrease it) and this would be so much better!
