A truly stellar entry for this jam. I’m amazed by the amount of content in this game, there’s some clever level design and so much of it. I noticed there are occasions when the character’s sprite is invisible after death, possibly due to the blinking damage animation. I also found it frustrating at times when I pressed ‘R’ accidentally instead of ‘E’, some separation between those controls would have been appreciated. Lovely work, keep them coming!

Great work. Really enjoyed the overall idea of having to balance and maintain shells. Various times i was juggling a float shell and a death shell and that was a very challenging and interesting dynamic to take on.

Nice work!

The level design got a bit repetitive at times, but the experience was overall impressive for a game jam! I liked the music and the graphics and mechanics were great! Keep up the good work!

Awesome game! I really loved the level design and all the mechanics in each level. The art is so good as well as the music! It didn't really use the theme "transformation" but it was overall really fun to play. It definitely has so much potential! 

Really great game! Great art and well-crafted levels and puzzles. I love the different mechanics and the twists the game takes on them, like the spikes being added to the moving bubble platforms, using the water geyser jars on the moving platforms, or having to swap between the different pick-ups. The game and puzzles felt very intuitive and I don't think it was ever unclear of what I needed to do outside of solving a puzzle. The checkpoints were pretty forgiving, which is good. One small complaint is that having the grab key (E) right next to the restart key (R) had me restarting from a checkpoint by accident a few times because I pressed R by mistake instead of E.

I saw that your team is considering expanding this for a Steam release. Even as I was playing, I was thinking this game could easily be made into a full game. Really solid entry here!

Gameplay? I had fun everytime I play this Music? great Art? Awesome Theme? I don’t know what did You guys implement in here Originality? a platformer, but even better Is the graphics 1 bit? Of course it is

and by the way if You do end up releasing it to steam, I’ll make sure to check it out

Hello everyone, thank you for your lovely feedback! We're glad that everyone seems to really like this game! There has been talks for awhile in our team about potentially turning this from a small game jam entry into a full-blown STEAM RELEASE! With more levels, shells, interactions, and a story mode upon other features! It'll also most likely be a free game just like this jam entry!

While it isn't 100% confirmed if all of us will actually go through with it, there's still a more than good chance it may be happening. We would love to see how interested people would be in this idea!

Nice game!! I like the animations and the fluidity of the movements 
Overall a fun and engaging experience :)

I'd say this is a very creative idea. Nice game.

It's a very nice game. The gameplay, the music, the art -- it's all very complementary. This is a fantastic submission.

this game was really really solid, i enjoyed it thoroughly. the final puzzle was a perfect culmination of everything the player has learned, it was incredibly done. i really liked this one!

I see that you fixed the slippery bug haha, The game is very cute and the mechanics are engaging, I like the idea of being a crab and using abilities as the crab to finish the level, also the small details like bubbles floating around really sell the environment.

It's a really nice game, it has it's charms, and maybe some oversights.

First I'd like to mention that I was fighting the control scheme. The E button and R button are right next to each other, and I ended up restarting too many times because of it. Secondly, having to restart simply because I can't tell the future isn't what I call great game design, as these levels do take time to complete and I end up having to do the same stuff over and over again. There wasn't really much to the enemies, I imagine setting falling enemy traps and utilizing the enemies better could make up for that.

Now on to what the game did right. Firstly, the level design, taking simple mechanics and coming up with creative ways to use them is by far the greatest aspect of this game. By exploring these different ideas, you communicate and engage with players and the players feel smart and fulfilled that they discovered something new about things they are familiar with. I also personally really like the extra details like the bubbles, fish and the level decorations in closed off areas. It makes the game feel more alive, and engaging. I also think the challenges and difficulty was extremely well put together, I enjoyed the challenges and the game didn't feel like it was too difficult to get through.

Overall, great game and despite these few, tiny flaws, it's a hidden gem!
