SHINY stuff, CRAZY frogs and an AWESOME game: Welcome to Evolution!
In this fantastic game with beautiful graphics and awesome music you play a GREEDY monster frog and other creatures, collecting as many crystals as possible falling from above...
But only those of SAME colors - They mean no harm.
Be carefull, as consuming a crystal of DIFFERENT color will transform you into another crazy creature.
Too many wrong crystals will kill you!
Make the right choice my friend...

Adding something like an X button instead of mouse button to control would be cool as well
I agree with people about the frog being the easiest, but the different skills of each shape are cool and blend in nicely with the game.
In general, I found the frog form to be OP and didn't really consider the other forms, and the fact that later levels have more diamonds falling, thus reducing the risk of running out of time, doesn't help. So, while shapeshifting mechanic is there, I didn't really use it (it mostly happened around the endgame, when there were so many diamonds that the critter just kept changing forms randomly). I think this needs balancing.
Audiovisuals wise, the game is good, though I've noticed the music after a while stops playing; I'd rather expect it looped instead.
Solid game overall, but it doesn't stand out to me yet. ^^'
