The only thing wrong with this game is that there isn't a GUI. XD

This was great! I had so much fun playing it! I played the whole thing through. It took some time for me to learn all the skils. Which I think adds to the game experience because it was a bit of a challenge. Cool concept! Cute graphics. fitting sound design. Well done!

Uhhh WOW! Nice pixels everywhere... looks very polished... this is +1 for gfx in my eyes! Very cool game... feels good! Hope you had fun making it! You should add some more levels and add some UI elements to give more feedback to the player. The gameplay feld good. Nice Job!

Awesome game! It was a ton of fun and it's extremely polished.

The only thing I had trouble with was the controls at times. I'd struggle to shift between my states to perform moves at the right times but apart from that great job =)

I finished it! Absolutely amazing game with tons of polish. I love the pixel graphics and the effects when you slash an enemy. There's really nothing I can constructively criticize about the game, except maybe add a story to hook the player into knowing more about the main character.

Polished but there wasnt any cool mechanics. All the special abilities are the usual generic platform skills felt like it was taken off a unity online tutorial.
Was fun to play though. Good job!

Overall an amazing game. It's super polished and feels great to play. My only critique is the lack of in-game controls (as in they're not shown) and that the ending was a bit abrupt.

Just about everything is good! Graphics, sound, level design, the mechanics, I just love it!

Awesome work, and really beautiful. I wish there was more of a HUD or GUI, took me a while to learn how to use the forms and figure out what they did. Excellent design otherwise. I would love to see this expanded on.

This was one awesome game. It wasn't super innovative or amazingly complex but it took a simple mechanics set and made it super fun. I really love the graphics and especially how much punch the combat had with all the visual flare. The music was really quite good as well which is not something a lot of LD games have going for them. The controls were tight and never felt bad at all and the level was fun and made use of all the powers. Overall, a classic entry, but one the inner platformer nerd in me absolutely adores!

Really nicely executed and polished. Just need a reminder of inputs in game, I had to alt + tab to go back here to find them :)

Not that original but it's very cool to play and really well polished! I love when everything has a feedback and you are the example of what it should be done :) Well done Yword!

Nice entry!
It's going quite smoothly, and good challenging.
I'm not sure if that's only happening on me, but I guess I have some performance issues, FPS get pretty low sometimes.

Awesome :) the whole thing is very nicely put together!
The only thing I found was that I couldn't rocket trough blocks if I was right up against them.

Well done, really polished entry. Love the camera shaking and particles effects overall. If you need some critique - the controlls are a bit to spread over the keyboard, other then that everything is nice!
Thumbs up

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Such a beautiful game! Loved almost everything about it, only thing I didn't like is that is was over too soon haha, I want more! You did a fantastic job, be proud!

Wait I have a problem with this entry ! This game is basically exactly the same thing that you did last LD ! You almost just changed the assets :(

This game was a delight to play! The only problem I had was that the controls felt a little awkward at times. Also, I'm not sure if this is a glitch, but I could only destroy the O blocks with the rocket ability when I was in the ball form.

So nice game. Art, audio and gameplay are excellent.
But controls are quite wired. May as well it's good enough for gamepad.

Solid little platformer that has great graphics. I immediately got a Cave story vibe from the soap bar character, to the scrolling clouds, to the triangle powerups.

My only complaint is the music.

Awesome work!
It's very well made, works perfectly fine and plays great. The art style is really neat too, and the atmosphere is cool!

AWESOME!
WOW!

That juiceness, all the feedback, the particles, the colors!
everything absolutely polished, congratulation! really!

The only thing I disliked was the fact that spikes are instakill instead of taking health

Enjoyable game, but ending was too sudden and didn't allow me to collect all the crystals :/
Also fighting with sword is a bit boring
Keep it up!

Brilliant! :O The platforming mechanics in it are great! The concept is also really nice and brought me some nice memories of games I've played during the 90's and even some recent games, like Cave Story :P

Nice work on the tilesets, backgrounds and animations too, they're really well done! :) Level design and the shapeshifting concept on the game are really nice and cleverly done too.

Controls work perfectly and are pretty responsive. I just didn't know rocket needed some space before it can break blocks. :P

But great work, really! :)
