Great little puzzle solving game! I love how you have to think about what to do on the move... a bit challenging, but a lot of fun. It would be nice if there was a HP bar or a couple more lives so that the game is a little easier to play... I have terribly long reaction times and die really fast lol.
The rules were easy to grasp, and the concept fits the theme really well! :) Great work!

This game was really fun to play. Quite relaxing puzzle game, initially I wasn't quite sure how to get past the enemies, but over time I got used to it, and found it very enjoyable.

I was positively surprised to see a game jam entry shipped with an editor right away :)
For unskilled people like me it might be a bit too difficult to play.
I especially like how you apply the theme in both aspects, shifting yourself and shifting other objects.

Well done :)

What an interesting mechanic! If you pulled the camera back a bit, it might help the player better understand their surroundings, and therefore heighten their strategic options. Really cool and unique, nice work!

It's a good game. The idea of this puzzle game is good, but I don't like those graphics. Anyway good work!

Pretty interesting puzzle game. Movement was a little confusing because if i shift into an item i cant move but then if I shift something into me then I can move again (as the item). Also 10/10 on the plant/chair graphics.

Small bug, when the timer runs out on your power only the last thing transformed gets its original sprite back. Behaviour seems to reset correctly though.

Short and sweet. Interesting concept. Pretty fun game. Good job!

I get the idea, use shapeshifting to confuse the enemies, but it didn't really work. Being spotted was never a big deal, I could run right passed everybody up until the very last bit where I just turned one plant into me and everybody clumped together. There is a reason that most stealth games have distraction and hiding as secondary tools. Actually, what I really wanted to do was turn myself into a crate and then transform a guard into that crate.

The AI appears quite solid for a compo game and I like the music. I would recommend finding a way to stop the music from restarting at the beginning of each level as I found that rather jarring.

Super interesting idea, I really liked it, it was a bit challenging,and I often died really quick, but overall good job!
