(Web) Pyramid Escape by lukethecoder64
Note: This game is inspired by the games for the original GameBoy. Hence the chiptunes, pixel art, and cheesy story line!
While exploring a pyramid in Egypt, you find a cursed stone. The curse is that you can only be a Basketball, A rock and A balloon. In this cursed form, you must escape the pyramid and seek help.
On par with retro games, no instructions will be provided, however they are very easy to figure out.
Hint: Click on the ball and press "D".

I really liked that the game is so simple to play, and that the rock, ball and balloon were all useful in unique ways. You did a great job capturing the Game Boy feel, too!
Aesthetically I think it would looked better if you stuck a little closer to your inspiration. Things like the smooth particles on death kind of clash with the rest of your style.
Finally, you might want to remember that unlike your inspiration a modern PC has quite a lot of buttons, so it's not just a simple what does A do? Okay, now let's try B and I know the controls world anymore...
I could not get the downloaded version to work (the shapeshifting buttons did not respond), but the web-version worked fine.
The audio became a bit grating after exploring for too long.
