WARNING: Please be aware the GLOBAL scores don't work on the webversion. Please download the PC version if you want to compete with the global scores.
I decided to combine the age-old idea of tilting a table to move a ball, with a shapeshift mechanic.
The goal is to get the ball in the hole as fast as possible; you should use the shapeshift mechanic to help!
Default controls are W, A, S and D keys, as well as 1, 2, and 3 to shapeshift. Don't like the controls? You can change them in the options, as well as the sound and music volume!
I've also added a little web server on which the best scores can be uploaded.
I hope you like it!

Really nice mechanics. Some levels have always 99999.00 highscore. Other than that - very solid entry!
Thanks. The 99999 is a default for not any; it should be noted that the lower the score, the better in this case, as it's just the seconds before you finish :)
Looks nice. Level 1 had some z-fighting for the polygons, i.e. they were flickering a little. But anyway, good job.
@terop aww, hadn't noticed that yet, I'll make sure to keep an eye out for the post-compo version :)
I like this kind of game, a tutorial level will be very nice to introduce all the mechanics. Nice work ;)
@monaarc thanks, I made the first level to be simple while forcing you to shapeshift at least once, but you're right, a more dedicated tutorial level would be even better :)
Comeon everyone, I know level 5 is hard, but it's definetly finishable!
I really enjoyed the game mechanics. The control felt unique and fresh to me.
A bit difficult at times.
Very nice! Nice design and physics. I've always like these kind of games since they came in wood, I liked the shape shifting twist to it. Great work.
This game is challenging! I could only get a highscore for level 1, and I don't expect it to last for long...
Nice game. Very difficult, as others have said. I wasn't sure if there was a button to quickly exit the level.
Cool idea and it was fun. However at some point the camera turned too much and the game got stuck as I could not roll anymore to counter-balance the table.
Dig the soundtrack and the difficulty of the game. The main idea is really good and you should continue working on it
@sftrabbit thank you; there is the pause button, but no quicker way to quit/reset.
I used to love these games as a kid. A way to rotate the camera would be nice but other than that it's a cool little game.

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.
Very cool game idea! soundtrack is very good too! keep it up!
