Really nice. Good implementation of the theme. Impressive while still simple. Also a good lenght for a Game Jam Game and not too difficult.
Would have wished for enemies to have health bars or something. I didn't know if I was doing damage to them. But we all run out of time at some point :D
Great job.
Thank you very much for the feedback! Idea with health bars for enemies is really smart we definitely should add it.
This was an interesting game!
I didn't feel that I ever want to use the Combat myself; rather it also seemed better to jump into a new "host" and let the AI fight for me.
I'm also not sure how the ending part worked, but I won lol
Nice idea for a game, and it was pretty fun!
Thank you so much for appreciation!
Due to time limitation we did not add "defeat" screen, when the wizard dies (player actually playing wizard all the time) so if you make it to the end you are great any way :D
Okay, I didn't get it, but the shooting was fun!)
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the shooting! By the way, have you tried using the right mouse button on other characters? It's a key mechanic that allows you to control other characters.
I've tried, but I didn't get the right way to do it. Mouse pointer should be over the other character, before pressing?
It worked once, but happened to fast and thwn I was moved back don't know how (:
The mouse pointer must be near another character, not necessarily over him. You may have been killed immediately after switching characters, and you are back on the starting character. Thank you very much for playing and for your feedback!
A nice game. Very similar concept to mine actually. Idk if it's a bug but I got to a point where a wizard was stuck with a slime somehow.
Nice art and interpretation of the theme! A game where you change roles dynamically fits the theme nicely while being innovative and you executed it well! The gameplay was fun too - the different types of characters were very fun to try out.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)
cool idea
really cool game, liked a lot this unique mechanic, surely want to play more, keep it up
Thank you so much!!!
Hi!
A fun game ide and not far from what I wanted to make but did not have the time to send to it! So great respect from me to have all of the features down!
Not really to much to give critic or tips on but I think its a good ground to expand on if you like! I hope this becomes a itch game page so I can follow the post-making of this!
Keep it up and thanks for a great experience!
Hello!
Thank you very much for your reply! We're glad you liked it, we plan to continue development with deepening game mechanics and polishing the game.
Awesome work! Mindswapping mechanic was super interesting. We were originally going to do a similar mechanic in ours, but couldn't figure out how to implement it in an effective way fast enough. You managed to get it down. I really hope you continue with the development because with a bit of polish this could be something really cool. Tricky and entertaining. Great work!
Thank you so much!!! We have a few ideas on how to develop this concept and I hope it works out :D
Decently hard, but still enjopyable experience, nice mechanic implementation and personally liked the tutorial design
Thank you so much for your appreciation!
Short and sweet, cool idea that each mob has their own moveset !
Pretty nice game overall and the mechanic is fun, tho I agree the game still needs more polishing
Fun mechanic! Tho a bit of an incoherent experience.
It's cool how each enemy has its own move and mechanic, but since the goal is to find stuff spread out throughout the map, you end up swapping through different characters super fast to move rather than lingering on any given one for their abilities.
The wizard is cool, but he also takes away the core mechanic of the game.
Thank you for your comment and observations!
Actually, the player is playing as a wizard who needs an artifact the whole time, but he can't reach it himself, so he controls goblins and orcs and at the end there is a reversal between the controller and the controlled.
Thus, changing the gameplay at the end of the game was a conscious decision, but unfortunately due to lack of time it was not possible to make the game experience whole and polished...
Really cool idea. What's here is cool, but there's a lot of potential for using the special abilities of each creature for traversal and puzzles, the way the Slime was needed to squeeze through gaps.
I was tricky though since it was so easy to get bum rushed and lose all your health. I managed to get one of the Gnomes over to the Troll village since I thought I could get into one of the houses.
The only part that was a little dodgy was the first Slime. Since it was easy to ditch the body in a safe area with no other enemies, he often wouldn't respawn when I died and had to start over, so I had to restart the whole game to get him back.
Thank you so much for your comment! We tried to develop this concept and more and more ideas came to mind. Although the game may not have turned out as polished, I hope you enjoyed the game!
That was so fun! Great work man,
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Really interesting and fun mechanics! That is some serious outside-the-box thinking.
Thanks for your reply!!!
A very fun concept! I really liked how the creatures and behaved with each other as well when they aren't being controlled!
Thank you!!!
