Really unique use of the theme. I like that there was a fair amount of randomness for the "out of control" bit, but it never felt like the player had no control at all.  One issue was that I felt like the master mechanic never really affected me. I basically just ran around shooting scarabs while ignoring where he was, and he just ran around gathering lamps while ignoring both the scarabs and me. Maybe he was afraid of the scarabs, but I couldn't tell. Good game though. One of the more polished, fun games I've played during this jam.

That was super neat! Great incorporation of the theme and had a smile throughout XD If only I could hit our master... 

Interesting concept and theme for your game. Problem is, and I know it can be complicated to foresee, but in top down shooting, you want the player to be able to aim while moving. Shooting (attacking) in the direction of the walk is only good for melee attack. I know it's a bit of a pain for the art (you have to have backward walk and stuff like that), but one easy way is to go around it in 2D is going for a 90 degree top down view like Hotline Miami. It's not as pretty, but it get the job done for a quick jam. Otherwise, you could still create a 2D top down isometric view in your spare time and use it latter. Top down shooter are quite versatile concept.

Anyway, good game overall !

Nice twist on known top-down shooter mechanic. Cool audio and visuals.

As mentioned by other reviewers, main menu looks a bit out of place (and I understand that; better to improve gameplay in the short amount of time you have) and transition animations are a bit too long. Click to shoot while not aiming with the mouse was a little confusing but I figured it out eventually. The difficulty curve is too steep though: it was hard to withstand a couple of transformations. Maybe increasing scarab spawn rate with time would help it. Also I noticed that scarabs managed to spawn right besides me, perhaps tweaking the spawn logic to make sure that there's enough distance between player and scarab would be nice.

Looks like I've written a lot of critique, but the game was actually fun and I liked it. Excellent!

Really good game! I love your take on the theme: it is very original and funny. 

From a graphic point of view it is also lovely, except for the main menu UI (totally understandable since there was very little time XD).

I really didn't understand why the attack command is in the mouse since I cannot use it to aim: personally I whould have preferred using the space button or something on the keyboard.

Good work anyway, keep at it!

This game was good ! I liked the style and the idea was well executed. Really, good job !

Great game! I like the concept with the wishes and different abilities a lot. Maybe there could be a clearer indicater, when and where enemies spawn, as quite some times I found myself standing in an enemy spawn point. Maybe the enemies could come in through one way gates or something like this.

This game was a hilarious blast!! The genie concept was great, and all of the different moves were super fun to play with! My favorite was definitely the biiiiig salamander. The controls were a little finicky, and it was frustrating to have to fully stop to properly aim at the onslough of baddies. (Got killed instantly a couple of times because of that.) Maybe there could be an option to get health, post jam? Besides that, I had a lot of fun and I hope you continue working on this game in the future! Good job. 

This game has an ever-changing ruleset, but they cleverly wrap it in cartoonish and often funny theming that makes you want to keep trying for a higher score. Great work!  For the record, my favorite transformation is the teeny tiny lizard

Hahaha what a great take on the theme! Love how the guy just kept changing me around. The chicken was definitely my favorite. Awesome job!

Really enjoyed it, cool concept, genie animations were great, though the scared master sprite was unfitting in my opinion, overall solid entry

Great concept, and so easily expanded as you can be literally anything your "master" wishes.    A lot of opportunity for a already fun great game.    Beautiful Art and sounds.   Controls were a bit frustrating sometimes, but that is likely just learning curve :)

addicting little game , awesome idea where u get to play as different types of animals and such , good job , ur in my top 20 collection.

This game is pretty neat! I liked the background music, it's a style I haven't heard in any of the other games I've played so far, and the art has a nice style to it! The gameplay is pretty dang good, and I enjoyed clicking rapid-fire to see how quickly I could defeat the swarm that just spawned. Also liked the attitude of the tutorial genie, was pretty funny. Nice work! :D

Had a lot of fun playing through this game, great take on the theme and solid presentation!

Great idea! Maybe the enemies are too aggressive, I think that different enemies and each form countering a specific type of enemy could make the game more interesting. Overall, great game and aesthetics!
