Some audio would be cool

Well done :) It's a bit frustrating that multiple presses of the Shift key activate some disability features on Windows. The 3D view when dying is nice, but might be unintentional? :-)

@cornand34: Yeah, I didn't have time to do audio.

@blinry: I forgot about the windows key thing. As for the 3D view, that's just what Unreal did when I destroyed the player actor by default. It felt like a cool effect, so I didn't bother changing it.

Wow, great title :P

Cool little game, would've been nice to be able to fire with the mouse.

Nice little game. As others have said the control key choices could have been a little better. But not bad nonetheless.

Interesting game.

I didn't have problems with the shift control.

Good concept. You had to die to understand what is happening, but since death isn't punishing it's okay.

What is the red bar for ?

A little text/image telling us what the controls are could have been cool. The player is smart enough to test them (and it would have helped me, because I had to stop my play session to read it).

By the way, is there a simple way to stop the game on windows ? By spamming buttons I opened the console and then typed "quit", is there is a simpler way ? By the way you shouldn't be able to open the console in a finished product normally.

The physics could be a little better. And the graphics are a little "flat".

Good luck on your future work.

@Swynfel Thanks for the great feedback. Red bar is the health for the boss at the end.

Only way to stop the game on windows is Alt F4. I didn't even know you could get into the console...

I like the title! :-) Good idea with the different abilities. Somehow I got on spikes without the ability to get out.

Audio would be nice, I kept getting sticky keys enabling on windows.. maybe that's my own problem though. Do the spikes actually damage you? I seemed to not take damage.

The title is memorable, and that's half of it. I couldn't double jump high enough to clear over the blocks at the start in the web version, but the windows seemed to work fine.

Good work! The physics is a little hard to handle...

Pretty good start here! Lots of different platforming possibilities when you combine the shapeshifting with the characters immunities. I did run into a few collision issues and oddly I sometimes couldn't jump. I believe it got in a state where it thought I was still falling.

Keep working at it! Good Job!
