It's a very cool and awesome game! Took me quite some time to find all of the diamonds haha

It's very well polished and has a neat concept, it would be great with more content though, (like more things to flip) and I'm not a fan of the way the difficulty scaling works. (is extreme even possible?) I was hoping that there would be more diamonds you had to find in higher difficulties, but as it is currently, you'll always know where 3 of the 5 diamonds are once you beat it once on any difficulty.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Well, this was all I managed to do in 3 days and I'm currently working on new content. Honestly, I made extreme difficulty for myself because it got pretty easy after all the playtesting.

I completely understand. I also kind of figured the extreme difficulty was more of a personal challenge to yourself.

Fun game and great presentation but finding diamonds felt like a grind. Literally flipped everything on the map at least 5 times!

Developer(+1)

I'm aware it can be difficult to find them but in every run, only one tree and one rock are selected to contain a diamond, so flipping the same ones won't do anything.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ah okay I didnt know that, was that mentioned somewhere? That is a helpful tip!

Developer(+1)

No, I couldn't mention it because it would reveal the way the two diamonds are obtained.

You gave me the idea to try to find I way I could mention it and not reveal the secret.

Really cool game! The central mechanic of swapping between forms to change the environment really fun. Every time I saw a new element I wanted to see what would happen if I hit it with my other form. Everything feels polished and its satisfying to blast enemies while running around. Nice job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

I'm glad you were interested in finding out about all the secret sides, the intention was to make it mysterious and interesting.

Neat little gameplay mechanic, it eventually requires not only quick thinking but also proper aim to not accidentaly turn a rock into a turtle or something. Cute aesthetic too.

Wonderful art and OST, the gameplay is kinda meh, but I like that you can see enemies and level elements on a collection sorta thing. The concept is great, very original. The multiple modes are also pretty cool. I'm not able to find any diamonds, though. I've looked around the entire map, and I don't see any. 

Great job! Just polish it a bit after the jam.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Honestly, it's a bit strange you haven't found any, but there's a bit of luck involved in finding them so I guess you were just unlucky. Every diamond has a different way to be found (looking around the map is not enough).

Glad you liked the concept, I woke up in the middle of the night and thought of it!

Great graphics, very little feed back upon hitting enemys, great idea overall!

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the concept!

I dont think theres supposed to be infinite diamonds at the bottom, but cool! Really nice graphics, and good gameplay

Developer

Thanks!

I'm fixing the diamond very soon

Submitted(+1)

This is super fun! I accidentally selected hard mode on my first play and got decimated, found 3 diamonds though! normal mode was a lot more forgiving! 

Developer

Glad you liked it :)

Submitted(+1)

Very nice graphics and music! For some reason I can't find any secrets :( Also all diamonds spawn in one exact point...

Developer (1 edit)

Where do the diamonds spawn?

Submitted

I'm not sure if it's planned or not, but in the lower right corner there's an infinite diamond glitch ;) It doesn't disappear when you get it.

Developer

There should be an invisible diamond there which turns into a regular diamond when flipped. Is it initially visible for you? Do you automatically win when you collect it multiple times?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Ok I figured it out, I'll fix it soon. Thank you for telling me!
