I stumbled upon this, even though I myself am not into TFs all that much, but the best part is when the ghost inflates Gum. The TF aspect is based on the ones from Wario Land, and there’s a heart like the one from Super Mario 64 that returns Gum back to normal.

Pretty cool. Way too short, though.
I ran the whole thing blind and made a lot of really dumb mistakes (plus had the game crash once) and still beat it in 11 minutes.

Maybe one day, Circle Tool will make a longer sequel.
A cute little adventure. Nice find!
Thanks. I found it while I was browsing DeviantArt. It was linked from a deviation made by Shadowbonnie5.
Nobody would know where I could get a copy of this game would they?
Circle Tool threw a tantrum about leaks and deleted everything, I don’t know if the game’s still sitting around somewhere that we’re allowed to post.
The game itself was alright, though it was way too short and too easy, and I personally only liked, like, one transformation.
Damn, that’s a shame. I checked around and couldn’t really find any place that had a copy of it available to download.
Looks like I’m out of luck unless someone has a copy they can send me.
I just wish there were more fan games like this that embraced inflation, though. I still have it downloaded before Circle-Tool terminated EVERYTHING of theirs, but I’ll one day reupload it. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but someday.
Anybody got a reupload they’re willing to share?
Are we even allowed to post the game? I mean, the guy’s not around anymore.

To heck with it, nobody told me no.
Nice! What a fun little game.
I mean the account that Circle-Tools had is gone and I’m starting to feel a little bit bored about it.
Circle Tool was a weirdo that had this strict thing where he’d lock access to all his stuff behind a small, select group of people, not even like, Patrons or anything, just “send friend request to him and hope you’re one of the 0.001% of people he accepts”, and the rule was that you absolutely do NOT leak any of that content outside of his private circle (I think the Gum game was posted publicly on Itch, though.)
I don’t even think there was a pattern to who got access, it was something like 100 randos (I forget the exact number) that he trusted for some unknown reason. Not friends, not relatives, just randos.
Was he shy? Did he have anxiety issues? Who knows, but there was all this art and animations locked behind the ??? wall, and the rule was “don’t leak or I quit the internet.”
Needless to say, someone eventually leaked the Dig Dug GIFs, and sure enough that weirdo deleted everything and quit the internet for like, a year, before returning and doing the tiny walled garden thing again.
Someone then leaked his stuff a second time, so he closed up shop, deleted everything and left again, this time for good.
I know the Dig Dug animations are still around, and the game is here too (I just posted it), so it’s probably not a loss.
I’m just still confused as hell as to why a high-tier artist would make all this stuff and limit who can see it to like a hundred people for no real reason behind a wall of ??? and ???, with such a strict “no leak” rule.
It’d make more sense if it was behind a paywall, or in some secret Discord kept exclusive to avoid bots or something, not some Twitter account with a hundred followers.

Does he have a secret discord server kept exclusively for is fans? if it is, then name it.
Like I said, there isn’t one, unless it’s so secret that the existence of the fact there’s a secret server is a secret.
As far as I know, Circle Tool was only on Twitter and Itch. No Discord, no Patreon, no Ko-fi, nothing.
After the second content leak, the guy just packed everything up off both sites and left the internet completely for good.
and so to contact him? will he be back or not? I think not
