Very nice concept! I too had trouble with the second big jump. I think having movement keys on the arrow keys might help. I find I tend to use space with my left hand and co-ordinating all the keys on one hand was a bit hard. I liked the animations and the music seems to fit well. The change in sound effect for the rolling form was a nice touch.

What fun game, I got stuck in a bit, the difficulty ramps up quite fast, but i really like the sound changing while the bug rolls round, a little clever touch. I also really like the art style, kinda of old school Amiga-ish.

Wow! This is amazing. I got super stuck on the second big jump at the beginning and was so glad I got through it because there was so much more after that! The little pill bug art was great!! (I have them all over where I am!), The rolling mechanic was really challenging but in the way where you just can't stop trying the obstacles. 

Great take on the theme, and fantastic job with the mechanics.

This one was fun! It's a really neat concept and it's executed pretty well. Unfortunately I got frustrated by a snag in the difficulty, so I didn't see this one all the way through to the end.

Nice. A bit hard to control though.

I got some old school Sonic vibes, thanks for this entry

The transformation mechanic was an interesting twist!
