Nice game! At first I got stuck because I wasn't aware there are other actions besides going around, maybe you should make it more obvious, for example display the output of the HELP command when you enter the text-adventure mode for the first time. It'd be nice to see the continuation of the story!

Great game with a nice story. Managed to complete it and found the secret of magic! The switch to/from text adventure mode was a surprise, but worked really well and is an innovation I've never seen before. Polished, with nice graphics and sound, and a lot of content crammed into a small game. Well done to both of you!

Thane's PursuitA really clever idea. Being a rat let's you experience the environment in a totally different way! Very cool.

Secret SauceThis was a pretty cool! I wasn't able to get past the spikes but I enjoyed the 2 game modes.

Secret IdentityThought I would become a rat, but there was a text adventure instead. (Remember, Zelda: Minish Cap). Still, though, it was a nice gameplay too! I love the art and music, they are perfect. The game and the difficulty are fine. You could have added WASD too. The story is very well written
Well done.

Arcane QuestThe Art is pretty good, I like how it feels like there is almost 2 ways of playing this game with how much the playstyle differ between the human and rat form.

Between The SignalsA good game with a very cool core mechanic! I really enjoyed the gameplay of switching genres, great work!

Incargnito!Very nice game! Loved the mix of mechanics with the text based RPG style. Nice music and sounds, fits the game very well. Took me a while to work things out but that's part of the fun and the concept was secret so suits very well!

The Binding of IndieI loved the genre-switching mechanic! It's not obvious at first that you can type T to transform again, but overall I really liked the text-based interface. The 2D part could have used support for WASD keys, but that's a nitpick.
I feel the music really fits the vibe, did you make it as part of the jam as well?

Ciphers PleaseWooo I finished the game! Really cute. Nice that you made it together with your dad! I loved the innovative combination of isometric and text-based. Thanks for giving me some HELP crossing the spikes. Also, going back "This doesn't seem like a good time being human" whahaha :)

Out of the BoxVery cool. I love the idea of a mixed graphics and text adventure. Great artwork and sound. Well done.

Secrets of the MazeI got two “spells”. I thought I could sneak through the spikes in rat form but that didn’t work and didn’t know what else to do next. Looks promising.

The Strand Academy SecretsFun little game. I made it through the gap area but I couldn't make it the blue pressure plate beyond the spikes. I like the music a lot it's very fitting. Also thank you for playing my game :D

SecretDungeonI liked the transition between a dungeon crawler and a text-based adventure game. I had to do some thinking to ensure I remembered where I had already been and where I still needed to go, but it was fun discovering the secrets. Nice job!
