Decent entry! The mechanic was fun, but too hard :(

Thank you. It is too easy to make it hard. I will think to more gradually increase difficulty.

Fun game with a good amount of challenge, the difficultly timing changes was a pain as often if you hadn't been a specific form long enough it would make certain obstacles impossible to clear. The level design was fairly well thought out though. Good job overall.

Fun and hard, one problem I have with it is the timing, since it's not really fun and doesn't really feel fair

Thank you. Timing is difficult to balance in short amount of time. :) And I know too good and deep tricks of the game. Maybe external tester can help.

I liked the mechanic! Though at some points I did feel like some of the obstacles were out of my control, namely when I would cross two simultaneously. Also, whenever I shapeshifted, I noticed there was a pause in motion. Not sure if this was intentional, but I feel like there's potential for this to be abused

Interesting puzzle mechanic, needs to think fast to win on certain levels. Good job. :)

(to Rscar) Thank you. This pause is intentional. I found some places very tight to travel and use it as relaxation. You're right - I should add cooldown to shape shifting to make game more "strategic".

(to LeReveur) Thank you. When you build game, old mechanics become boring and only composition and challenge can motivate to move further.

Nice entry :) The mechanic is simple and effective, the difficulty seemed well balanced to me.
The only downside is maybe the graphics, but I liked the game overall :)

This was impossible. B2 is impossible.
