Great platformer game ! 
We really liked the stabby wolf and the jumping cat transformations 🐈‍⬛🐺💖
It was a good idea to have to find hidden hearts all around the way.
Well done ✨🌈

This is so cool and playful, fun to find out what each character can do and how there are parts of the map you cant reach at first! I liked that the hearts are the health and collectables at the same time. I am absolutely in love with your animations especially the cat running!

Developer

Thank you so much for all the kind words, it really means a lot. Thanks for playing!

Fantastic entry! I really enjoyed the transformation aspect and was saddened that it was only one level, that said it was very creative in the use of the different powers, great level-design and a very enjoyable game!

Hopefully that door at the end will open at one point because I'd love to see more ; )

Very fun platformer and impressive amount of work for the time available. Nice work!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Very cute! And I love how you designed the player experience to teach about each of the forms, and then repurposed the level into the heart challenge!

Very nicely done!

Developer(+1)

Oh, thank you for playing!

Submitted

Hey - this was fantastic! It felt great, the audio layered well, and I the transformations were really neat! I loved the bird floating mechanic, lol. I was very impressed with your game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, and thanks for playing!

Color me surprised, a metroidvania project on a gamejam?! 

Lol, jokes aside, great project! I hope it gets revisited one day, maybe a full release?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I don't know. We will have to see.

Submitted

The pixel animations are FANTASTIC! The different transformation mechanics are so fun to play with, and it was a great time looking for all the "secret" hearts!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for playing!

Submitted

WOW I'm really impressed by so many aspects of this, good progression, mechanics, and art! Well rounded game, awesome.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement!

Submitted

a really fun game!! The visuals, the music and the game play go really well together!! Great work!!

Developer

Thanks a bunch!

Submitted

The game is fun, and I really like the mechanics, music, and the way you learn how to use the new power. But I think this game doesn't make sense with the theme. It's a solid game, so you have my respect. Congrats!"

Developer(+1)

I’m glad you liked it! One way I think the theme fits it’s like the stuff you transform into all have opposite powers, but they mesh together and attract or something like that.

Submitted

I didn't think of it that way, but now that you mention it, it makes sense.
Either way, the game is really great.

Submitted
Very well done game! One little nitpick is that there's a few scene decorations that are  the same colour as the spike traps, so I spent quite a while in my playthrough scared of them xD
Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback! I hadn't thought about how that could be confusing, thanks for pointing that out!

Submitted

Dang this was really well done, especially given how short the game jam period was! The platforms are well-spaced so that you need decently-timed jumps to make them, and the shapeshifting mechanism was well-incorporated. I can definitely see myself playing a longer form version of this; hope you build off of this even after the jam!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Submitted

This was a really fun game! I thought the layout of the map was very well designed and the little cute characters were amazing. I would have happily played for longer and there's so much potential(if you plan on developing the game further). This was the best game I've played so far so be proud!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted

omg gameplay in this game was so fun and collecting all hearts wasn't annoying and THE MUSIC IS GORGEOUS

Developer

Thanks, I really appreciate it! 

Submitted

If there's a genre I play a lot, it's Metroidvania, and this game has a lot of potential. You managed to create a great short experience with every aspect of the genre. I love the music.

Developer

Thanks, I’m glad you like it!

Submitted

Wow amazing game! I loved the health animations where you lose a heart each time you get hit. Also death animations were great too! Music was good and game play was fantastic. The transformations were a nice touch! As well as having abilities for each one! Great work and definitely deserved 5 stars!!!!

Developer

Thanks you so much!

Submitted

This game was really fun to play! The shapeshifting mechanic was done very well and I could see this developing into a larger game. The pixel art and music was very cute too

Developer

Thanks, I’m glad you liked the shapeshifting ability!

Submitted

I was really impressed! There's a surprising amount in here for a game made over a weekend. You've condensed down the Metroidvania experience really effectively. Giving the player an arrow to help them find the last of the collectibles was a nice touch for impatient players like me too.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the positive feedback! I think one way I was able to create a compelling game is such a short period was that I made smaller level, and just made you loop back around and around. Also, thanks for appreciating on the arrow, as I thought people playing games in a game jam might want a slightly quicker experience. Thanks for playing!
