This game is just straight fun. I really like the way you used the theme to stitch together different game ideas. The transitions are nice and I love the player auto-jumping on the title screen. Awesome!
Good mechanics, a nice minimalistic spin on infinite runners. Every time the mutation occurred I'd die because there wasn't enough time to understand what the rules were of what I'd just changed into, sometimes I'd die instantly from a jump I initiated before the change. That said I ended up memorizing the sequence just so I could get farther.
Perhaps give some kind of warning as to what mechanic is coming next, maybe slow down gameplay for dramatic effect but also to give players enough time to adapt to the new controls?
That was some fun right there, it was like an extended version of google dinosaur!
I like the fluid transitions! epic!
the game is pretty good, some bugs like the obstacles falling out of game, but still very good game
it is a fun game that reminds me of the chrome dinosaur when you are offline. however does get boring when your the square
The game is really fun. I first thought its simply jumping over one cube. You got me in the first half :D. I dont like the audio though. Still great job!
Oh wow, I love how the game changes entirely while you play it! That's a super cool idea you have. I was underwhelmed by the graphics and audio, but the premise is very good. The visuals do work well for immediately having the player understand what the goal is and what to avoid, but It definitely seems to be lacking in something. There's a lot of room for expanding and creating new sections! Once again, I love the concept! Great game!
Pretty fun. I just wish the transitions were a bit more frequently and the square had more going on (right now its pretty much same as circle, but circle is more fun)
Good idea, liked the mutation of actual gameplay.
Controls are great. I like the mini-game series. Well done.
If not playing in fullscreen, the bottom of the game is cropped (chrome, windows 10).
Probably a bit too abstract in regards to the theme, but I get what you went for and can appreciate the frequent variety the game offers. The transitions can be a little too fast, though, since you don't know what the controls for each mutation are at the beginning. The graphics, while simple, are fairly coherent and I think they work. Sound is a bit weaker and could use more sound effects and some music. Overall a decent game, just probably needs to tie into the theme a bit better.
