The art is very impressive, it's all so fluid it's almost hypnotic to look at! I love the music, it sets the atmosphere perfectly. Great job!

This is the closest I managed :

Thank you very much! And congratulations on your score. The game really isn't easy. I still haven't managed a perfect score! xD

I don't have a clue as to how the technical implementation on the morphing + judging works, wonderful little game! Love the idea of a creature having to get ready and picking out what type of monster to be.

Thank you very much for your comment :)

Morphing is done by hand and the judgement depends on how close the element you have selected is to the requested element in the succession of frames that make up the morph. I don't know if I'm making myself clear, so I drew you a picture :D

In this example, you need the big smiling mouth. Getting it earns 6 points, the two nearest frames earn 3 points, those after them earn 1 point, and the rest earn no points.

The overall score is calculated by repeating the same operation for each element and adding up the results.

Oh wow, super interesting implementation - thanks for including the photo/grid, it’s a great reference to understand it!

Great game! Super simple to understand but so difficult to master!!! The music, in sync with the morphing, adds to that feeling of urgency and delicacy. The monsters are all amazing! And moving it from the bathroom to a theater stage is a magical idea. Once again, well done.

Developer

Thanks a lot :)

The game is indeed difficult to master! I've never managed to get a perfect score yet :D
