I like the animals :) Good work on the sound design, too, although the walking sound gets a bit annoying after a while :P

Nice concept and execution, I really like the slow motion when selecting things, it helps a lot. The walking sound was a bit grating, but the rest was pretty good. Especially when you get pushed back.

I enjoyed the idea behind this. Couldn't figure out how to kill the enemies though :(

The walking sound is a bit too loud and giving the monsters a shape would help. But I really liked the concept here. Nice and fun little game :)

Not bad. Found a bug where you can run into an obstacle and hold ctrl to reach the end of the level immediately :~)

yay! Love the idea! It feels really good when you pass through several walls at the same time swapping form in slowmotion!
Good job!

Good idea, but there are some bugs when you try to change your shape into an obstacle.

Really cool clean gameplay, except for the color swapping which felt a little clunky.

Cute aesthetic!(Those run/jump animations, although simple, had energy in them I loved!). Basic but suitable theme interpretation, the UX in choosing the shape could have been made easier though. It sounds silly, but having to move my hand to enter from WASD mid gameplay in a small way broke the games flow. Perhaps control/click -> hover over desired shape -> release mouse might have worked better? Dunno. Any way, tiny critisism, great game! :)

On chrome the browser intercepts ctrl+other keys, making it hard to play.
