Ranked from 34 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player by itself isn't really strong, but it can bewitch ennemies and play as them to get new abilities and extra health, making your player, or your team, stronger !

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I coded all of the game and made all of the assets, except for the music. The music is a copyright free soundtrack by HeatleyBros on YouTube.

The art style is very cool ! I think the Camara is a little bit to wobbly.

I like the game 

Congrats for publishing in time. :)

Thank you very much for your review ! <3
I can see what you're saying, i guess i should have made the movement of the camera a bit smoother when following the cursor.

Really interesting game concept and I love the art! I think some animations would have really taken it to the next level!

Developer

Yeah, i totally get what you're saying about the animations. It was a really difficult choice to make, but my code wasn't clean enough to implement the animations in time, so i had to let it go to focus on other things. :'c
But thanks you very much for the review <3

This is a cool idea, although the controls are a bit finicky

Developer

Thanks for the review ! I'll make sure to improve them next time i'm making a platformer ! :)

Really cool concept and mechanics. I love the art style and the brilliant monster designs. Getting hit can be kind of weird since I couldn't hear any sound for it and was surprised when I looked at my health and saw how low it was. Really cool game!

Developer

Thanks for the review ! I intended to put animations, particles and sound effects for the attacks but i ran out of time and my code was too messy in the end to add them in a clean way. It was my first time coding a platformer in Unity and i never used so many features of the Physics.
I'm not saying this as an excuse and i don't expect a better review for it, i just want to explain why it's not up to par with what i had intended in the first place :)
But thanks for the kind review, i appreciate it and i'm really glad you enjoyed the game !

Fun and challenging game mechanics. Can definitely see the tie to "stronger together" with the different types of enemies/abilities you can bind. Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much !

Great atmosphere and a really interesting mechanics to switch between yourself and the enemies! The snake is really tough to fight, tough!

Developer

Thank you so much for the review ! <3
