Cool game! Great combo of Lode Runner and Ikaruga. The sound effects were a feature I really liked. In combination with the colour use they helped me figure out which shape is effective against which enemies. Big points for the barrel rolls. If you were to keep running with this game, some things I would recommend would be mapping each form to a double-tap in a particular direction, rather than double-tapping to cycle, a crosshair for aiming, and maybe a way that particular forms would give you Ikaruga-style shielding. I liked the ship animations a lot, especially for the enemies. Overall a really fun game! Thanks for submitting! :D

Funny game! I found that the aiming system was a bit tricky.

Well done. I had a bit of trouble seeing the color difference between green and blue. And i think maybe putting a bit of transparency on your "ship" might be helpful to see better when trying to aim. good job

Great game! Cool graphics (love the shift animations!) and sound. It's a bit too difficult in my opinion, but fun nevertheless.

This is a very good game, immersion after some seconds.

A fun cross between Starfox and Space Harrier with pleasing visuals and good music. I really enjoyed this, but sometimes found the perspective tricky to judge. The barrel rolls were fun, but the shapeshifting seemed a little incidental as the change was more to do with matching colour than shape. Well done! :)

I sometimes shapeshift when i didn't intend to, but beyond that it is a very fun game!

Nice execution. Had a bit trouble beating the enemy and understanding how. Maybe make it a bit more fast phased with weaker and more enemies?

Definitely has a Star Fox vibe going for it. Really clever way to shapeshift.

The music and sound effects were pretty loud, as I was playing with headphones on at 50% volume.
