Solid game music part was a little clunky but once i got it I could get going. I liked the animations and different movemene feels i experienced for the transformations I got got to try.

I liked the music and had a lot of fun playing through to the end! Having to use the music notes to transform felt a little tedious sometimes when it was back-to-back jumps. Overall great game!

Hello fellow "That time" submission, I find it funny we had the same idea for our title

Besides that, great game! I love how cute it is, but I will for sure never remember the notes I gotta do without writing it down. I am the absolute worst at reading notes so yeah...

Hello fellow "one time" title !
We added a way for people to have a "memo" by overing the head in the top corner with your mouse after feedbacks :D

Very cool! Love the metroidvania and the idea of music to transform. Music note sounds could use some love, but well made overall!

Developer

Thank you ! it's true the musical part could get some more love, we'll surely update these :D

I enjoyed. Really beautiful art style.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game!!

Cute art. Maybe it would've been better to use a pentatonic scale for the transformation mechanic? Having to reach over to 9 key while playing a game is kind of physically awkward. 

Developer

Thank you!

We will definitely adjust the notes amount to reduce struggle.

Nice game,I love the art style,I dont kno if that was intentional or not but i couldnt jump and I didnt understand how to morph into the animals

Thank you for playing our game!! You have to type “s” to show the partition above your character, and then type the notes that are shown next to the chicken statue.

Everything is in the game’s description. We did not have time to put a tutorial in-game. 😅

You even have a mapping of the notes-to-keyboard in the description.

Oh,i typed  S but it paused the game,so I typed random numbers but nothing happened. Wasnt looking at the chicken statue,my bad

I enjoyed playing it, until I got lost and realized I needed to save the songs to morph back to other animals

notes if you wanted to improve the experience (from my point of view):

- don't respawn instantaneously the player. let them wait for some moments, with an animation

- in a pause menu, show the transforms they already discovered

Thank you for playing our game!!! We are already working on the help about animal partitions. While we couldn’t do it in the limited time we had, we made sure to put them in our game description.

We will definitely put a death animation!

Thank you again. 😌

We added a way to have memo in game now :)
