Eat souls. Shapeshift.
I made audio and SFX! If you rate; I'd really appreciate if you could listen :)
If you reach the end of the game it will take you back to the title screen.

I also wasn't sure which other shapes I could change into. One other suggestion would be to have the dialog boxes have some alpha, I wasn't able to see where I was walking when people were talking to me.
I burst out laughing with the pool of child tears bit. Comedic! Did you draw the environment as an image? It had a cool, almost painted look to it. The gliding mechanic reminded me a lot of Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
I kept "dying" under the volcano, so and I wasn't really sure where to go from there, sadly. Otherwise, it was neat to play. I wanted to explore the king's palace in the beginning.
As others have said, the game just ends when you eat the soul under the volcano. Other than that I found it quite nice.
Danbolt - there are two tilemaps (background/foreground), I used tiled to make it.
Getting the volcano soul is the end of the game for now. Thanks for your feedback so far all.
Nice! It had quite an immersive feel to it, especially given the low detailed graphics. Would like it to be longer. Good work!
would have liked your game to be a bit longer :P your ending felt like an ending by your dr. troll
Great Job on the gameplay and feel of the game, would have loved to see this longer!
Is there only one soul to get because I've played it multiple times now multiple days and still only found the one.
Demogorgon - There are two souls, but the second one just ends the game. I've added a walkthrough png and txt file. Also thanks for trying twice! I'm not sure exactly where you get stuck, but you might be able to get it after looking at those.
For post compo - It would be good to know what the blocking issue is. I have a few ideas to help keep you on the right path, but maybe that's not even the issue.
Cool style and mood. I like how the music changes when you go into different areas. Funny dialog too. Would love to play a longer version!
Very nice visual style. I was pretty lost on what I was supposed to do.
I enjoyed this a lot. The minimalist graphics and the gorgeous audio combined very nicely to build a distinctive mood. I would happily have played a much longer game in this style.
The NPC comments were also handled well - sketching out an intriguing storyline in short, simple strokes, without interfering with the flow of the gameplay.
The story itself seemed a little arbitrary, especially the abrupt ending, but I understand that a gamejam like this constrains what you can do in that regard.
The actual shapeshifting was great - the flying squirrel power was very cool and enjoyable to use. Potential to build some great puzzles around abilities like this, especially if a few more forms were added.
Altogether, a really accomplished entry with heaps of potential. I really hope you expand this into something fuller - I'd genuinely love to play it.
I liked it but I didn't understand the ending. Everything was basically good. Reminds me of my platformer, "The Messenger"
Liked the aesthetics a lot. Some things weren't well explained, though. Struggled to eat the squirrel's soul for a while. Took 5 tries.

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.
Did I miss something? I hate the soul under the volcano and the game just ended.
the aesthetic is really nice and figuring out what the squirrel power was entertainmed me. Trying to use it off a single pixel ledge kind of sucked though. I actually wanted to know more about this world, which is strange considering I don't usually and the place is literally just blocks. The background and music were just really nice.
