Carl the shapeshifting penguin by LostViking
Help Carl the shapeshifting penguin get to the finish line. You need to jump on ice blocks and swing with your tentacle arm to avoid the humiliation of landing in the ice cold water. Do you have what it takes to become the fastest shapeshifting penguin in the world?
You can use your keyboard or a Xbox360 controller to play the game.
Controls:
AD or left-stick for movement.
Spacebar, left bumper or right bumper to jump or activate a special ability when you're in the air.
arrow-keys or right-stick to shapeshift.
Pelican(up): double jump (resets when touching the ground)
Octopus(down): Hold jump button to swing when you are close to the circles.
Penguin(left): Hold s, left-stick down or right/left trigger down to move slower in the air.
Goat(right): Press the jump button and a direction when you're in the air to dash forward(resets when touching the ground).
Escape or start button to pause or restart the level.
This is the first game I've made for the Ludum dare challenge and I had fun programming and learnt a lot of new things.
Hope you like it and have fun!

A fairly solid platformer (though I think the acceleration is a little slow), with a decent enough range of powers. It took me a while to get to the finish, but I eventually made it.
A fine, if simplistic game, with a cute penguin!
I'd like to be able to save some point in the game. I wasn't able to finish and gave up because I had to restart from the beginning.
