Nice game! I got stuck the first time on the diving level with some weird glitch making me fly at the same level. After that I restarted and it was fine. I got to the level with the stacked boxes and couldn't get past.

for the level with the stacked boxes, try to find an other way to pass them - down through

Great graphics and animations! First: I'm disappointed you can't kick over the trash bin ;)! I really like the atmosphere, the ambient noises, birds and such. Later on in the game I noticed some little bugs and couldn't get past the huge box wall. I don't like that you have to start over from the beginning if you die that far into the level. Doesn't feel like it would be that kind of game.

I got stuck for a long while at the tall box tower. The cat can't jump high enough to make the 4 tile jump (though she jumps high enough that it ~seems~ like she can, she just baaarely misses it) and there's no way to do it from the step right above. The dog can't push 2 boxes so it can seem that there's no way to pass here.

I did try jumping from the highest point I can get the dog to on that side, but I didn't get it quite right so I believed it didn't work. Eventually, after spending a long time with the tower, I tried the dive again and got it right. It's a good puzzle, just there was some feedback that didn't happen there which steered me away from the correct solution when I found it.

That said, I absolutely adore this. I did throw the cat in the water first, with a suspicion as to what would happen ;)

Your overall presentation is very good. I've enjoyed using the abilities and your graphics are so adorable. Everything about it feels so satisfying and made me smile.

A very good entry, just excellent work! One of my favorites :) High marks across the board.

I liked it but it would have been great if there was some kind of checkpoint so that players wouldn't have to start from the beginning.

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

Fun game! Never though of such an idea about shapeshifting, well done! I just wish dying would not get us back to the very start. Maybe there could be some checkpoints once we solve each puzzle? Also the birds' flying sound is a little too much, compared to other sounds. Overall really nice entry!
