Did not find clue in stage 2. Just randomly jumped on blocks and change shape. Luckily got it after only 2 or 3 tries. What's the odds right? Player could have had a bit more gravity. Falling was slow, which made some of the bullet dodging unnecessarily difficult.

Also i would suggest adding just a tiny bit of juiciness* to your next game if time allows. Thank you for your entry! I hope you had an awesome time creating this game and learned something along the way :)\r\rFinally, since this project is probably done, i just leave a web-tip for your next project and you can check it out if you like: search for "Juice it or lose it" on youtube, its a great talk of students about adding that special juiciness to your games."},{"author_name":"jonnopon3000","author_uid":"4856","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 5:55pm","epoch":1461261000,"text":"I enjoyed this little game!

I like the tempo, and how abstract things are. I also found the tune very moody. The graphics was pleasant, especialy the green clues on yellow -- lovely! Only the bolts\/fire\/whatever didn't feel to fit the style (perhaps they could be discs\/triangles?).

So this is my first attempt at creating a puzzler\/platformer, I must admit I normally have the IQ of a peanut when it comes to playing puzzle games so this was a break from the norm for me. The main character has the ability to shape shift to well ... other shapes. Exercising this ability is necessary to progress the levels.\r\n\r\nInstructions are in game but movement is done with WAD or the arrow keys and SPACE allows shape shifting.\r\n\r\nThanks for trying my ludum dare attempt.\r\n\r\nNotes: \r\nJust from comments so far and other thoughts.\r\n- hit box on the fireballs are a little larger than they should be.\r\n- audio may not loop seamless due to mp3, but if i don't use mp3 I cant guarantee to work in internet explorer. yeah web dev is a pain.\r\n- **Spoiler playthrough *** https:\/\/youtu.be\/33dc56BAkpY\r\n","title":"Shift"}
