I wish the game were longer, but I liked it. Each of the transformations felt fair and balanced. Nice work!

I like this one a lot! There is unpatched tech where you can grab onto a tree and turn into a frog for big jumps please never patch it lmao i love it

For future player: you can neutral jump on a wall by doing it the same way as in Celeste hehe. Enjoy this tech!

Your effort shows, for sure.  You have talent for making interesting stuff!

When switching from how to play, credits, etc., the various pages will overlap each other.

The level 1 shift to the end of the map really threw me off since gameplay was still active.  The leaves me unable to see what I doing, where to jump, etc.  Luckily, it went back to the birdy before I fell to my death, so I was able to figure out how to get across the chasm.  Something similar happened in level 3 and it was a wild guess on where to jump.

At level 2, the background does this weird where the entire BG shuffles and shifts depending on the player's position on the map.  It is most notable after jumping down and trying to go between the first two trees.  I also way overshot the exit with the bird.  :D

A great concept. Bonus points for doing the art yourself. The second Level however could use some better contrast as it's difficult to distinguish the foreground from the background on darkened screens.

Developer

Thx for playing,glad you liked the art  ,I will fix the lvl2 bg

THX for playing

Very nice!  Background jittered and changed a bit, which was interesting. I like that you can change between squirrel and frog to climb walls, and the abilities feel nice to use. Adjusting the player controller a bit for things like variable jump height (and other control niceties) might make it feel better to play. Great game!

Developer

Thx for playing, glad you enjoyed. I'll take the feedback and try to apply it :)

It took me a couple minutes to figure out how to move. I love the creative way that you set-up for the metamorphosis. I do agree with others that having space for jump would help, but also take that with a grain of salt. I'm, reeeeaallly bad at playing platformers.  I loved the art, the music, and the animal animations. I think you did a fantastic job!

Thx for playing, Glad you enjoyed  also I just mapped the jump input  :D

Gameplay and music are both fitting and creative for the theme! Spacebar for jump would be better.

Developer

Thx for playing,yh, i just forgot to add the jump input
