Nice work! It's pleasant to navigate into the round world.
Very creative, loved the calming music. Had some issues with controls and movement, and I thought there could be a little more direction about the motivation, but great work overall!
It is a very pretty game! 100 objective pts is a little much for a jam game..
Great game! Only feedback is that it was a little tricky seeing the jump on the wolf when the camera is directly above. Maybe tilt it just a bit?
This game is absolutely stunning. I am transported to a distant memory of Mario64 and love it. The controls and movement bugs detract a little bit, once you master the programming side you will be an unstoppable force. What you accomplished in LD conditions is unfathomable to me.
It's gorgeous, and I like the little details like whizzing bullet sounds.
Haha, I was going to say it was a bit pedestrian until I found my first hunter and crapped my pants. I got 49/100 before the swines shot me out of the sky.
Movement was a little ropey (this fish was painfully slow) but the objective and challenge seemed to be balanced just right. I like the touches like sound of the bullets zipping by you and it looks quite nice.
I really enjoyed it.
That was great experience. For me bird, and shark was bugged a little. Bird was trying to go somewhere without any input, and shark was very slow in water.
Wow. This was awesome! I really liked playing this. It's creative, and engaging. The hunters are awesome! :)
I got 67 coins before I quit. A little glitchiness with movement, but on the whole pretty nice. I like your little planet :)
Nice Game, the shooting range is a little bit to high.
but good idea and music
The only critique I have is that the game runs REALLY slow on some browsers/computers.
Hi there! :)
This is a very interesting game! :D it can be used to raise awareness :D
just sayin' ;)
An excellent entry :)
Despite the wobbly/glitchy controls, I loved playing it.
This is really nice! only problem is that when I shapeshift to a bird it starts below ground sometimes. Hard and fachinating game. I like the music. Audio of those bullets passing by is awesome! it makes the game so intense all of a sudden :D This game looks beautiful even though its lowpoly!
Great game, I love the music and the art. There was a bit of hitchiness on my laptop though for some reason. Overall, great effort though. It's quite unique.
I love the graphics and the music, and the use of shape shifting is cool :)
What a wonderful little game. I really enjoyed not have to kill anything lol. Just need to run around and collect thinks. quite relaxing :)
The game is pretty neat. I love the idea of changing into different types of animals :D
I like the graphics and feel of this game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/F-G7DKrQW4g
A very pretty game! I've had some problems with controls, though - the shark (whale?) is very slow, making it really time consuming to collect coins underwater, and the bird sometimes freaks out and flies into the ground :/ don't know, why.
Tried a couple of times to eat those hunters. Raawr! :D
Great entry! Navigation around the globe is smooth, and despite the hunters the experience is mostly relaxed, well done!
I have always been a fan of planet games. I think the controls are bad, would be better if the character looks instantly into the direction I want to go or atleast much quicker. Keep it up
Beautiful! The graphics matches well with the audio. As expected, it needs some polishing. There is some bugs when shape-shifting between bird and shark. But you're in the right track. Could totally become a bigger game!
The art design and music is really nice. I think I would have enjoyed this more without the people shooting at me; it seems like it could be a nice relaxing puzzle/platformer thing.
I liked the atmosphere, the visuals, the water shader, and the sound quite a bit. Was fun juking and hopping around shots, though I wish I had a way to remove the threats from some areas; perhaps tricking poachers into shooting one another or something? Also, some cost or mechanic that limited how often you could shapeshift, or changed it in some other way, might have been neat. As it was, it was a bit slow, but I enjoyed playing it; my record was 65/100. Thanks for putting this together!
Cute game, creative and original idea. Graphics and audio are nice too.
Very nice and peaceful game. Good peaceful music too. Unfortunately I could only find 99 of the 100 coins :(. Also I think diagonal movement is faster than up/down...
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
Pretty cool. I can see a lot of potential on this core idea. The mood is really deep and relaxing. Keep it up! Congratulations.
Fantastic game! Nice models, great visuals for compo entry. Wow!
NICE! great entry, a little bit difficult to die here, but amazing graphics.
This has a great feel to it. Sadly I kept hitting a bug where I'd be moved to sea-level every time I shifted to a bird.
This game really has unique setting. Really lacks a balance of challenge though. Would improved if the collision of the coins would be wider. I also found the speed of the movement a little slow. Overall, nice entry!
It is a relaxing game. I experimented some troubles with the bird that didnt want to fly sometimes.
Good entry, the perspective was a little weird, though. The art style was cool, but the gameplay is lacking diversity. But that's understandable for a 72 hour game. Good job.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Nice :D
