So yeah, this is my first Ludum Dare! Sadly I didn't manage to finish. I spend half of the time struggling and learning GM but I gained a lot of experience, so I hope to make something better for the next time!
I will appreciate all your critics and suggestions. It will help me to keep getting better :)

Great looking characters and animations. The different styles of movement provided varied game play options.
Great! I like the innovative choice of bat as the shape shift. Art is good too reminds me of game boy games for some reason. Well done.
se ve muy bueno! deberias hacer una version para osx o web asi es mas facil de probar. Me gustaron principalmente los graficos, cheers!
Nice platformer. And good use of theme, loved the visuals and animation :)
It's my first ludum dare too! I can relate to alot of the things you said in the description. Very nice pixelart and animations; I love it. The controls for the bat is a bit finnicky but overall it works really well so congrats on getting something out!
Nice pixel arts and really cool characters! Well done for your first Ludum Dare!
Concept is really interresting, i loved your art, and also loved the bat mechanics !
Great entry for a first game, and first approach of game maker !
Nice, really good concept. Bat was a little difficult to control but that is somewhat expected.
I like your art style, amazing job with animations! But controls are really hard and unpredictible, it makes the game very hard. Hitboxes of obstacles are far to wide for me, I didn't expect spikes to kill me from aside.
Good job on the animation, even if you didn't finish it your next one will be even better. Good submission.
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
Cool artwork/animations/palette! I specially liked the way the controls works for the bat, is challenging at the beggining but necessary.
Also never thought a bat/ninja could fit so well. Good job.
Great visual style and nice choice of shape shifting mechanics! Congrats on your first ludum dare!
Great game overall, it's just so hard to control the bat. I think the falling is too strong, which is a little bit hard to move and jump at the same time. Maybe if there was a greater linear velocity it would be more easy to control
Great first LD entry. The sprites were really well done, although there should have been more animation frames.
But geez, was this game hard. Sorry but I couldn't finish the first level. the instakill spikes and rapid fire lasers were too much.
But great job anyhow. Maybe next time make a little easier 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.
Really like your art style. Amazing color palette!
