I like how you can survive for a long time just by mashing Q :D

It's a fun game, lacking on sounds, but other than that really nice, simple concept, I like it.

Any possibility you can zip up the game? For some reason it's in 3 files and a folder full of files which I have to download one at a time. I'll check back later! =)

That was super satisfying casting off my outer shell and flying away and launching missiles at everything. The movement felt fluid and satisfying. I enjoyed getting at high enough speed on the ground to jump off the hills like ramps. Really fun experience! Thank you for making this!

A lot to like about this. The movement mechanics for both forms were genuinely fun. Leaving a clone body when you change is a neat mechanic.

The movement in both forms was fun, though I tired of the game pretty quickly. It just needed a bit *more* I think. The transformation was also very satisfying.

Once I got a hang of the controls I had fun with it. Transforming is oddly satisfying. I like that your machine transforms by just exploding into other parts.
I wound up making a sort of meta game out of transforming and creating walls with the parts from my transformation.

I enjoyed the explosive transformation between shapes. It might be more fun if there was a clear goal or measurement of progress - maybe an objective to reach, a set number of enemies to kill, or a timer and leaderboard to compare how long you could live.

Nicely done. Maybe have a movement speed limit next time?

Boom! Satisfying to shape-shift. Well done!

The concept is quite nice and fun, graphics wise it works nicely too! :)

I felt that controls should have a clearer explanation, though, to make it easier for people to get, so more people could play it better. :)

Some polish here and there, and some audio would make it an even nicer demo! :)

Cheers! :D

I really like how when you shapeshift you explode :D

It would probably be better with audio, but it's still pretty great. :)
