How does your game fit the theme?
This game is made for the GMTK Game Jam 2023, with the theme "Roles Reversed". In this game, "Roles Reversed" is fulfilled in 2 ways. First is "narratively", where the title of main character, and thereby the character you control, complete with anime-style powering up, gets swapped around every time you "defeat" your opponent. Second is more mechanically, where now that you have swapped characters, you get to enjoy all the strengths you were fighting against at the cost of now fighting against all the strengths you once had.

Not too easy and that's a good thing.

Simple and flows nicely, well done :)

I love this concept. Playing against yourself was so  funny. :D

The gameplay is fun, and the concept is great, but the controls were a bit odd. With a bit of extra polish this could be quite good!

This is genius.. role reversal on two levels! The epic music on reversal, and story really sells it! It takes my brain a while to figure out who I swapped to, but the fighting is solid, and the art style is slick. Good job on a polished game, and mind-bending theme concept! :D

i loved your game. very fun. its fun on how they keep switching and it was a little confusing on how to attack. if you could fix that it would be nice.

Very interesting concept ! The way you have to alternate characters makes for some interesting decisions, like intentionally getting low health before dealing the finishing blow.

I love this concept so much. The idea of getting an upgrade each time you win, but then swapping to fight the enemy with all the upgrades you've selected so far, it creates a unique experience of playing against yourself that's fun and rewarding.
