Great game loved everything about it especially the enemy designs! I would appreciate feedback for my game too!

This is a cool game, it reminded me of those aircraft cameras that drop missiles, the concept is good too, I would be cool to expand the characters design, and adding some music would enforce the overall vibe of the game, good job!

Great and fun game. The post-processing effect is nice. The balance of the game is great, at least for me(not too difficult and not too easy). The enemies are varied and the special ability to possess is really nice. I finished the game without using the special ability on my second run.

You can check mine, it's an interesting platformer with nice mechanics.

The game is really well thought and executed. It is really fun when you get the hang of it. I sometime feel like I always get one shoot by everyone whatever how much I have hp. The big monster should do less damage. I death animation and many little detail would have been apprecied if you had the time but this is still absolutly cool. Could you pls take a look to my game

I love the art and atmosphere. I also enjoyed sound effects, but some kind of background music would be great addition to your game. Altrough very good job!

Please check my game too if you want.

Developer

Thanks so much, I completely agree. Music will have to be something I try out next!

Very fun game to play. Art, Audio, atmosphere are on point. One thing that I would love it to have is having a camera shake or slow time when getting hit by a bullet to make it more impactful. If you have time please check out my game too.

Developer

Thanks a lot, will do!

I loved the concept of the game! The visuals set the correct mood for the game. I think some eerie background music would have taken the game to the next level. 

Great job!! :)

Thanks a lot, music is definitely something I should try soon!

Followed a lot of your process, very cool to play the game myself. I realy like the concept. It felt pretty cool to possess enemies and i honestly would have loved to have way more of them in the game (different types). It also took a little to learn the abillitys of every enemie but once you had it, they all played very smooth.

Developer

Thanks so much! It's awesome to hear you followed development, happy you liked it!

Seems interesting in principle, but I never got any enemy abilities I just had the same abilities for as long as I was playing. I stopped around level 5 because the big enemies would sometimes just appear on top of me (I don't mean their jump attack, it was different to that) which was pretty annoying.

Developer

Ah that sucks, it seems a few ai bugs crept through

I like the idea. I'm unclear at the others abilities. What are those white boxes at the bottom. I'm guessing the red ones are health. There is lots of potential with this.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah I should've done a far better job of explaining those :D 

Super happy you like it regardless

Great game and mechanics. Maybe it's missing a Main Menu or an explanation to what on screen is what.

Developer

Thank you, I 100% agree

game was fun to play for a while even tough i was unable to get past level 4 because the enemies shot me even before in could see them. i dindt realy get the theme. it did not feal like a new beginning when i shot enemies.

Developer

Ah it's a shame I didn't spend some more time balancing the enemies and really reinforcing the theme, happy you had fun anyhow :D
