My first game jam :)

You have the unique ability to change your own color as you wish.
Try to survive as long as possible and let others kill themselves.
Instructions :

Nice interesting entry! Good choice of music, it made the whole experience dramatic!
Good job :)
Great game! Survived for 5 minutes without it getting tedious :D
The only problem I had was that even though I had the same color and a bigger size than the other circle I couldn't eat him. :c Either it's a bug or a gameplay element I missed.
And for your first LD it's AWESOME! :D
Hope to see you for the next compo/ jam!
Shape-shifting and color-changing really are the same thing mechanically (switching states) so I don't mind that you're using colors instead of physical properties/shapes. Great concept!
I didn't get how to play it first, the whole eating/killing cells, but once I got the basics, the game's really fun and challenging. :)
I feel that yellow/green should have a bit more of a difference between them, specially for people with some kind of colorblindness (I have some problems with these two colors, for example, and I often didn't distinguish between both).
But it's pretty fun, and the controls work nicely and fast as they should. :)
P.s.: after playing the game for 1:45min, the game suddenly crashed, I don't know if it's a Win10 thing, will try it again later so I can clearly say it. :) I could play the game and have fun, even with this happening. ;)
Cheers! :)
Nice little concept, had good fun running around. Might need a little bit of an 'end game' tho - I imagine I could survive forever. :)

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.
Well-known but proven to be fun concept. Shapeshifting aspect might've come a bit short (it's really just color changing), but the execution is well done, and fun to play. Interesting music, too =)
