You control a Genie from a magical lamp. Your owner human constantly makes wishes to you, changing your form. The forms are out of control: you need to accept the form that was asked by the human

Wish I could try this out but I'm sadly a mac user! Haha
But just wanted to say the art looked great and it looks like a nice game :)
I didn't have time to generate the Mac/Linux builds during the jam, but I do have them on a google drive link. But that would probably be against the jam rules though! So anyways, I'll tell the artist that you appreciated the art!
Great art and effects ! I had a little bit of trouble understanding the game at first, but once i had it i had a great time !
A really interesting and different idea to those I have seen so far. Great gameplay and art. Enjoyable. Great job!
Thanks a bunch! I liked your game too, really challenging!
When it booted up I was like "Oooh, nice music. Oooh nice art! Oooh, default Unity buttons and panels, classic. lol. Seriously though, this was a really great submission all around, very nice job with it! My only suggestions would be to finish the UI in the game's art style and make the enemies just a hair slower so that if they spawn near the genie you can get away from them.
Hahaha as for Unity button, you know, some times desperation takes control of the jammer xD
And thanks for your suggestions! I will surely take them in account when improving it!
Looks great and has a pretty unusual theme in this jam :) I like the art too, with foolish master and cute salamander being the standouts :D
Gameplay wise, it was fun! Full twinstick controls (so I could aim better while moving) would have added to the game feel a bit, and sometimes, enemies would spawn on top of you, but that's really my only criticism :)
We're surely going to add twistick control, and also make the scenario bigger!
Thank you for the kinds words! Salamander is one of our favorites too =)
I couldn't download the game through the Itch app. It looks like you forgot to mark is as being for Windows.
Hi! I changed this, added the Windows option.
Can you please try again?
As simple as the concept it, it definitely fits the theme and felt fun to play in. Typically this style of game is played as a twin stick shooter meaning you can shoot in any direction not just the direction you are facing. I don't know if this was purposefully designed to make it more 'out of control' but adding in twin stick controls would make the gameplay a lot smoother.
There is also a typo in the tutorial, one of the sentences says "knwo" instead of "know", other than that a solid entry!
Yeah, we'll surely be adding better aiming! And thanks for pointing the error on the tutorial! I was on the limit of my brain capacity when I was doing it hahah
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Very nice looking game. Graphics fit well and were very clear.
Navigating and shooting was a little frustrating. The arena was so small in relation to your character and enemies could spawn on top of you. Shooting would benefit greatly from some kind of aiming beyond what direction you are facing.
Original idea. Loved the different "characters" the genie could become. Chicken was so good.
We wanted to add the omnidirectional shooting, but because of the time that we still had left, we couldn't, as we needed to close other important parts of the game. We're gonna improve this! Thanks for the kind words, I'll give your game a try later today!
Looked great and loved the idea of being turned into random critters, would be great if the shooting and facing direction were independent.
Yeah, by the time limitation we ended up not being able to decouple the facing direction to the movement direction. We'll surely improve this, thanks for your feedback!
The game is really, REALLY under-appreciated, it's so cool Oo. I can't believe it was done so quickly... all the aspects, starting from the music, and ending with the art style, are all combined so well. It almost looks like a fully-fledged game. I didn't like the way the aiming was combined with movement, it's always a bit annoying, but it can be changed easily (I guess). Apart from that, really creative and visually appealing, entertaining games, good luck to you with it!
Thanks a lot for your kind words! It was a real challenge to make the game in such time, it's nice that you noticed all aspects.
And yeah, I'll keep the feedback regarding the shooting in mind! Will surely re-think this part!
I liked the game, I was amussed playing it, but the not being able to fire in any direction, and even the smallest scarab being able to sustain some damage, really affected the experience to me, making it feel unfair
Thanks for playing and commenting! Alright, I'll have the feedback in mind. I think that I could probably made the scarabs weaker, and spawn them in a higher amount. Thank you!
This game is amazing! I love how easy it is to start playing and how the lack of control is fun rather than frustrating. There are quite a lot of transformation types which is fun but not many different enemies. Just a few more enemy types could make a huge difference! I also agree with the comment below me about not enjoying the aiming and would rather be able to aim in any direction. My final criticism is to stop the character from wishing you're the same form as you already are. This review may sound quite critical but overall this game is great and the concept is so creative yet simple. Great work!
Indeed, the Human shouldn't repeat the last wish! Thanks for the heads about about this
And yes, I was going to make an "explosive Scarab", which you shouldn't shoot from close range, enforcing "run first!", but you know, didn't get the time xD
Anyways, thanks a lot for playing and for the kind words!
The only thing I didn't enjoy was the aiming. The fact that the scarabs could attack on a diagonal and I couldn't aim on a diagonal was a little frustrating, particularly as a genie.
This game was a lot of fun. The art looked great and the sound set the mood perfectly. Very cool concept, too! Great job on this entry.
Thanks for playing!
Yeah, we made the decision early on not giving diagonal aiming as part of the advantage of being a chicken (it attacks in a circular radius). But yeah I understand your point! I'll consider your suggestion!
Wow your game is very impressive!
The audio design is great, the visuals are very charming and the Gameplay feels nice and fluid!
Very cleaver approach to the theme, great job!!
I really like this one! I'm not a big fan of the way you have to move in a direction to aim, but other than that, the concept, use of theme, and presentation are all great. Well done!
Thanks a bunch!
I think it's a wonderful idea you have here ! The setup also makes a lot of sense with the theme a gameplay, well done :)
Great job all around! The game play was fast and hectic, but easy to pick up which made it fun. The art was well done, and the music matched the theme perfectly.
Most original theme I've seen so far!
I really liked the theme, very original and fun! I thought it was really cool that when you take a small form, you get faster and can buy time to take on another more powerful form (and get more points). Also, phenomenal music and sound effects!
Appart from the main menu, cool style! The concept in itself is really fun and the gameplay is simple yet not too repetitive with the transformations
Thank you! Ah, we wish we could have improved the Menu art. We were very close. Anyways, thanks for playing!!
