Hey! Thank you again for your very insightful review. Today, I finally had the time to play your game, and there is a lot to say:

Your take on the theme is definitely the most unique and creative in the entire jam, period. Also I'm a huge fan of turn-based games, and yours is really unique. I definitely encourage you to continue developing this game. The idea is great, and I see a potential GOTY here if you manage to polish it.

Talking about the strategy, it's super well thought out. You can swap parts that the enemy has already destroyed. It sounds broken, but if you don't have a strategy, you will end up losing anyway. My strategy was to go stealing the tail first since it's the only body part the enemy has and I don't. Then I exchanged my destroyed left arm with his, then used my demon arm to destroy his remaining arm. In this way, he will have a difficult time destroying my head since he just have legs to attack. Once the arm is destroyed, I proceed to destroy the demon's head, and... it didn't die? Ahhhhhh HAHA. That would had be very satisfying if worked out

AThe art and fonts used give super nice dark fantasy vibes! Love it. Maybe it would be nice to add some kind of visual cue to know wich body arts are destroyed, so i dont need to check body part one by one to plan and strategice. 

Regarding to your music curation for the game... Let me give you some advice as a composer (And gamer). The title music is long, beautiful, and elaborated; the boss battle music is great and super repetitive and catchy. However, It would work better the other way around. Strategic, challenging boss battles like yours are long and invite replayability. In that case, using very repetitive music is an awfully wrong move, even if the music is dope (The track you chose reminds me a little bit of the Mother series), the high exposure to repetitions will make it annoying over time. 

So summarizing the advice, for long levels or bosses, difficult or replayable: Long-format music will be a good choice. In the same vein, the shorter the scene, level, or the easier and less replayable it is, shorter-format music will suit better

I enjoyed the game; your idea is nice, and I will give you the highest score I have given in this jam. Very well done. If you continue developing this idea and need a hand in any audio endeavor, feel free to send a message; I would be glad to help :D

Wishing you the best in this jam

This is a cool concept not really explored, swapping bodies with your enemies and trying to hit the right body parts. I would say maybe have more indicators on when limbs are gone or like just having the UI be slightly more intuitive (maybe have you select the body part first as a screen, then the opponents part second, then whatever actions you want to do) Also more options with each body part would go along way with this game as well, good work!

Interesting spin on the traditional turn-based game that may have some potential. I gambled on when talking to the Serpent and got his tail and just kind of demolished everyone after that though. That said, a few pointers:

- Great use of the Swap mechanic where you have to identify body parts and see which one is the most dangerous then swap it out. There's a lot of emergent strategy in here. You can even swap out your destroyed body parts with the enemy's pristine one, it's actually pretty smart!

- The way your sprites change according to what body part you got is actually so good and really helps sell the vision of the game! Great work on that, that is definitely something needed to make your game truly shine and the effort put into it is not wasted. No sugarcoating, the technical level of the art can be questionable - but the direction and what you choose to implement (the body swapping sprites) is impeccable and inspiring, because it adds to the experience.

- The game is actually very complex, and I meant that in a "can be confusing to players" kind of way. This is a result of a combination of multiple factors I believe: the UI, and the gameplay. I think if you placed the player on the left such that the player will read from left-to-right, it will be easier as a whole. I applaud your attempt at providing a tutorial and teaching as much as possible in the timeframe - it does help but I do miss out certain features. For one, I had no idea the bite attack could lifesteal (so I can swap again).

All in all, the  swapping body mechanic ended up being a lot more interested than I thought. Easy 5/5 usage of the theme on that part for its proper implementation into gameplay too. Given a lot more thought, there could be something here with potential.

clever name!
