Love the concept and it feels nice to play. The scream give a bit of a shock when your found :)

Nice concept. I like this extended shapeshifting mechanic.

I waited for 1 minute doing nothing and no one chased me)) Maybe you could add some more amorphous creature to be run away from?

Neat concept! There was definitely some depth to the game that I missed until I read through other comments (e.g. the fact that you move faster when not shapeshifted).

Worked well enough as a speedrunning game, but I feel like it would really shine if there was a framing story or situation to get me more invested in blending in, rather than just running through the desert(?) and needing to blend each time you run through a building.

Would love to see this concept expanded upon, great job!

That's a really nice idea, swapping gender and class too

Good game! Simple concept and good variety. 

Interesting idea to switch more than just shape.

I would liked to see a way to use UI and reset without mouse. Slightly cumbersome to jump between mouse and keyboard to restart when the game require two hands on the keyboard.

Good feedback when going into a new area. 

Interesting decision to increase speed while untransformed. Brings risk-reward scenario into play.

Good Job!

Cool idea! I think the hints were maybe a bit too obvious?
