Shape Shifting is a free racing game in which you control a transforming cartoon character. Change from a human to one of many vehicles and back again. Beat your rivals, reach the finish line, and win points to unlock new transformations.

The game has a similar aesthetic to the many colorful racing titles, like Cartoon Racing APL and KartRider Rush. However, unlike most of these games, it focuses specifically on timing since you must choose the best time to transform your racer.

Shift from a person to a car

At the start of Shape Shifting, you can transform your racer between a person and a car. The car is obviously faster, but the human runner has an advantage in being able to climb stairs and walls. That means you will need to keep on flipping between the two to complete the track.

Unlock more vehicles

As you complete levels, you'll be able to transform into different vehicles. The boat will take you speedily across the water. The helicopter lets you travel straight upwards but is slow when moving straight forwards. The hang-glider is handy if you want to sail straight over obstacles, though it can only be used at certain points.

A test of timing

Shape Shifting allows no way of steering left or right — you're trapped in a straight line. Because of this, the sole challenge is in timing your transformations at the right moment for maximum effect. For example, switching to a hang-glider after driving your car up a ramp will give you a better lift.

Easy after a while

Each level allows you to upgrade your speed using your accumulated points. After a few upgrades, you will be able to outstrip your rivals with very little challenge, making the game too easy. However, the low difficulty and fun cartoon aesthetics make the game appropriate for children.
