I liked the way the blobs moved around! The music\/sfx were good also. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really liked the way the bow and arrow could be used both for fast travel and for killing enemies. However, was really awkward to aim with keyboard controls. Aiming with mouse I think would really help. Also, it was really hard to hit enemies at anything other than point blank range. Even when I thought I had them lined up, I'd often miss. I wonder whether it'd be an idea to make the arrow hitbox larger? I ended up often running away from an enemy for a bit, then turning 180 and firing. However, even then, the multi-step turning around (whilst it looks cool), made that more frustrating than it ought to to pull off.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also as the arrow, I often got pinged off into the trees, which then made navigating and movement difficult, especially as I couldn't see the enemies under the trees. I guess that could be like an extra skill to the game to aim both at an enemy and towards somewhere you won't get stuck, but I felt like having that almost everywhere right from the start was too harsh. (Maybe if you continue developing the game, you could expand that idea, so that in some environments, there's walls you bounce off or walls you stick to or some walls that if you hit as the arrow, you die?)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall though, was fun!"},{"author_name":"lightspeedlucas","author_uid":"10289","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 1:14am","epoch":1461373740,"text":"This is such a cute game, I really like the character design and her transformations!"},{"author_name":"cowboycolor","author_uid":"51198","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 3:12am","epoch":1461380820,"text":"Thank you everyone for the kind words!"},{"author_name":"SteveSalmond","author_uid":"24965","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 6:25am","epoch":1461392400,"text":"Brilliant - the most fun game I've played so far for sure!

Very cuddly. The music is appropriately upbeat, and the sound effects are alright.\r<br\/>The controls were a bit clunky on the keyboard, and I'm pretty sure the experience would've been a lot better with a gamepad.\r<br\/>The transforming mechanic was really fun.
