Wild Run by Skaz
[EDIT] I finished the post compo version! It's available on GameJolt:

Master the art of animal shape-shifting!
WILD RUN is an auto runner in which you have to change forms to pass obstacles and collect all the shards. Control the heavy bear, capable of destroying wood obstacles, the swift hare, exceptional jumper and small enough to fit in small holes, or the crow, and fly!
Keyboard controls : left, up and right arrows to change form. Space to jump/fly. R to restart the level, backspace to return to the menu.
Gamepad : X / Y / B to change form, A to jump. Start to restart level, select to go back to the menu.
Escape to quit.
The last level in unfinished and really hard. Really. Kudos to anyone who can finish it with any percentage of completion!
Hope you'll enjoy it! It was fun to make.
Sadly, no sound this year, It'll be part of the post compo version.

Thanks in advance!
Nice looking game, I'm surprised no one else has come up with this concept since in LD34 I saw SOOOO many endless runners. I was glad this was not procedurally/semi-randomly generated and that you took the time to craft levels for the forms.
Nice work!
Last level was made more friendly and finished. I added a new final level, and it's still hard. The game is probably to hard overall, but I'm willing to call it completed. Just need some background arts and sounds, and the final version will be completed! Lots of tweak were made, the game is more fair now, hitting a wall is not immediate game over, and you have to press R to restart a room, no overwhelming spiral of instant death when you begin. I'll post a link to the final version for those interested in seeing the evolution.
I will have time to play and rates games now!
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
The difficulty of the last level beat me ! :s
Graphics are probably 30% of the jam's time.
The level design is well done, we learn about each shape then about when to switch and then we're on our own. The only drawback is that the first bird level has some really hard and frustrating parts. Also the fact that the bird dies when touching the ground or ceiling feels a bit frustrating and artificial.
Excellent job anyway !
