Nice work elliotd. After I completed the game I kept playing and Iw as able to kill the straw men with my claws. Super cool. I was amazed at how many different things you got the character to do.

Movement mechanics, items that give you additional abilities, everything is great. It's one of the best puzzle's on this LD I think. Overall flow is just right.

Nice visuals, unique puzzles, and the level design did a great job of making the various mechanics clear without needing a tutorial.

Sometimes I would walk along flat stuff and become a ledge grab.\r\rIt feels like a sokoban game, which is a good thing, but I feel like the internal logic needs to be stronger for it to become a puzzle to solve rather than a thing to try everything to see what works. The saving grace was that "everything" was two buttons and things happened really quickly so it was easy to try everything quickly."},{"author_name":"elliottd","author_uid":"27074","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 2:54pm","epoch":1450277340,"text":"thanks @Tuism, I'm going to try to address that with a bug fix. there are a couple platforms that were set up incorrectly.

The stomping\/heavy drop was really nice. Great work on models in general. I didn't really get if the game was meant to look a bit glitchy on some tiles or if it was a technical issue. I'm all for glitch though, but the game didn't look like a glitch game. A way to exit the game would have been nice too. Interesting start for a puzzle-type platformer, it'd be nice to see where you take it if you decide to continue dev on it."},{"author_name":"Tapehead","author_uid":"64267","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 8:41pm","epoch":1450298160,"text":"a bit confusing but very interesting and cool implementation of control! good job! :)"},{"author_name":"Farelle","author_uid":"63831","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:11pm","epoch":1450299960,"text":"Very nice, it's a bit hard to get into it though, regarding the changes of characters behaviour with only 2 buttons and for some reason the later lvls had textures replaced with pure black (from other comments I would say it's the resolutions fault) overall, the atmosphere was nice and the character visual changes including the skill changes were really interesting :) and I like shapeshifting :D"},{"author_name":"Tony Coculuzzi","author_uid":"8692","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:15pm","epoch":1450300200,"text":"I loved seeing this progress, it turned out really awesome!"},{"author_name":"jackolondon","author_uid":"29066","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:20pm","epoch":1450300500,"text":"cool idea!
