Instructions:
Collect Shards by killing enemies. Locate the blue pedestal when your shard counter is yellow, this means you can shapeshift.
When the floor is black, you can walk through white walls.
When the floor is white, you can walk through (previously) black walls.
You can never walk through gray walls.
The walls will change when you shapeshift so it is best take note of the level before doing so.
This was my first Ludum Dare and I'm glad to have finished on time :)
Bug fixes made:
- Music did not reset on death to the correct music depending on your character (fixed in 1 line of code by setting the global music variable).
- Win menu did not display particles correctly (fixed in 2 lines of code by setting camera's X and Y to (0, 0)).
- After going to level 2 and pressing Play Again, the shard cost to shapeshift is the same as the second level (which is impossible to get in the first level) (fixed in 2 lines of code by setting the shard cost of each of the 2 shapeshift levels).

Hard to understand game at first, but if you get into it, the game gets a lot easier and makes much more fun
Pretty good for your first time. I really like the use of theme here as well as the bold use of color. There were some control issues when pressing more than three buttons at a time, and getting sent back the the first level when you die is a bummer, but I still had fun with it. Good job!
The game was pretty good. I liked the idea of shifting the level walls when you shifted characters.
I liked what you did with the map when you changed characters. That was neat. :)
@SuperPokeunicorn
If the control issues occurred while using the "Monkey" character, that was intentional. The monkey has fast bullets, so I don't allow him to shoot in any direction opposite the way he is facing. That was intentional to keep the game balanced :P
Good first game! It was pretty fun! Difficult, or maybe I'm just bad at it :P
Nice thing you did with the walls being different per "thing" you were :)
Game was done well, graphics are nice sound effects are nice, but the only thing was music. Gameplay is fun, really good for a first try.
I'm a sucker for twinstick shooters, but the square guy was just a tad slow for my taste. The fact that each character was a little different was a fun discovery, all in all a lot of fun.
Very well-rounded. I liked that shape-shifting changed the characters properties, that was a nice touch.
Gratz on your frist LD. The art is amazing. Really enjoyed the game.
Played the non-easy version. Great game, I think the game would do well with a checkpoint system. I made it to the second level and died, and I couldn't mutate in the first level after. Not sure if that may be a bug
Thank you @legavroche for the bug report.
It has since been fixed!
Being a first LD entry it's a great work, nice concept and art forms

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.
everyone rate 11/10, this game is fun n enjoyable for all ages
