The style, mood, and geometric vibes are on point. Audio and music are also a big win. Some small points of feedback:
1. There was a UI hint that said "press Q" and that simply reset the player position to the last checkpoint. That's fine, but not at all what I expected. There was a strange ghosted enemy cannon that made it seem like pressing Q would toggle that ghosted cannon to come to life in some way. Long story short: The reset button can be [Q] but try not to pair it with a confusing and unrelated graphic :/
2. I gave up on the game before acquiring circle switching mode (It wasn't clear that the game was leading me towards that mechanic). I went back to play again and get further after reading some comments though. Consider introducing the core fun of swapping shapes SOONER. What value is there in stringing players along without that mechanic beyond the first couple intro moments?
Ok, all criticism aside, this is exceptionally well made! Congrats on this game because it feels quite complete and rich with personality.

Neon SharkI love the aesthetic of the game a lot, and I love the concept behind it, but it's extremely brutal hahaha. It's got the vibes of a Rage Game, like Getting Over It or I Wanna Be the Guy.
It's impossible to know what comes next without seeing it first, and I think the level design suffered a lot from not having the ranges of the turrets depicted as a solid area instead of a triangle and a small line, and the movement being weird doesn't help a lot.
It's still surprisingly fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not the kind of game for everyone. Still a good game overall! Great work!

Joe's bizarre adventureThe music is so peaceful and I love it but the game is a bit hard. Moving is slow and the shooters keep destroying me. Overall great game!

Star CatcherThe music and sound effects are excellent!
I generally don't like platformer games, but this one was so peaceful. I wish the jumping sound effect had a low pass filter, but the audio quality in the game was pretty great in general. I think you did a great job by making the controls not precise, it enhances the gameplay!
Good job!

Geo BreakDecent game, a good game for the first half even, though when the game goes from skill to basically luck and trial and error it's not enjoyable, though I guess geometry dash players will love it kek.

Slide to sideAwesome game! Love the weird controls, and how the music changes a little when you unlock the circle! Though there are some parts where you die because you couldn't have known what was ahead (particularly in the section where you go down), I think giving the player some way to see what's coming up would be helpful. Also, amazing work on the cover image, best one I've seen! :)
