I love the concept, and the fact that the setting stays the same each time you transform. It makes the worlds seem very connected (aha!). Anyway, I'm not sure which one's hardest... probably the raccoon. The frog's controls are the most difficult but it's easy to catch mosquitos on accident. The mosquito's controls are crazy, lol, they glitch sometimes but in a fun way. Great work!"},{"author_name":"micahcowan","author_uid":"38013","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:57am","epoch":1408942320,"text":"Fun game, good use of the theme."},{"author_name":"mess110","author_uid":"12300","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 12:37pm","epoch":1408969920,"text":"sadly it does not work for me..\r\rmail.lua:4 attempt to index field 'window' (a nil value)\r\rany idea on how to get it to work.

Might not be in your package repo yet.\r\r@BubbleChien Yeah, I wanted to add analog stick gamepad support for the mosquito which would make the controls much more precise, but ran out of time. Also spent way too much time painting the frog and had to rush the raccoon in order to get the mechanics done.\r\rI'll probably keep working on the game after the compo to polish the stuff I didn't get to."},{"author_name":"AdventureIslands","author_uid":"11391","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 1:19pm","epoch":1408972440,"text":"Curious take on the theme.

I wish that there was some visual indication of which animal you were, though, a few times i thought i was a frog when it turned out i was the mosquito hehe.
