Summarise your game!
The game is about a guy who gets kicked off his body by a spirit. His soul now occupies a sword which can possess dead bodies. If the possessed dead body dies then the sword dies (game over). The player (controlling the sword) will have to kill, swap bodies and repeat till they finally get their body back.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
In the game, the player is literally a weapon who needs to get their body back.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
I would like to request some feedback on the overall design of the game. I am a relatively new dev and I feel like I get lost in technical aspect of the game as I do not have much experience designing worlds. This time I made sure to focus on the overall design of the game so I would love to know if I am heading in the right direction.
Thanks

I liked it! The pathing on the possessed body could use some work (especially when it comes to narrow hallways or bridges). I had to scramble and find a new body because my previous one had gotten stuck and killed in a corner. Most of the characters special skills are pretty much useless (Straight archers take too long to wind up their attack and can't get it out before getting hit themselves and normal attacks almost never hit their target because they are facing away from the enemies), so that could use some work as well. Other than that, I had a fun time playing through your game! I liked the art and the sound design is adequate and I enjoyed the challenge of the final boss fight. Overall pretty good! 8/10
Thank you so much!!! I can't believe someone actually played till the last boss, I'd have loved to see your playthrough. I have the possessed character just following in a straight line so the follow can get a little jank at times. I see what you are saying about the archers and the attack facing other way especially in tight situations. I'll have to work more on that.
good job
Thanks!!!
very fun I like the open world choice! Maybe a tuttorial or something similar to introduce all of the mechanics of the game, I found body swapping weird and also the bg music doesnt loop :( Also some kind of end goal would be nice but maybe i didnt play long enough, great game and keep 8/10 would play again :)!
Thank you !!! I’m working on adding a sort of a tutorial but it won’t be done in time for the deadline. The music one is weird because it loops on local play so i haven’t identified where the issue might be yet. It does have an end goal but I definitely didn’t make it clear enough!! It’s something I can improve on for sure!!
Good job, nice graphics and sounds! I think you need to give the player more direction on where to go and what to do! Really good job tho! Keep making games!
Thank you!! I can't take credits for the graphics though - it's from this amazing asset pack https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny-swords . I have received comments about the goal not being clear so I was brainstorming a bunch of ways that can be done. I don't think I will make it in time for the jam though.
Nice game, but it is getting repetitive quite fast. I love the art style and the music, fits very well!
Thank you!! I do acknowledge the repetitiveness. Ideally more variation on what you possess and what possessing them gives you would be great. Perhaps thats something that can be added later. I agree that the art is amazing, I got it from here https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny-swords.
The dialogues cracked me up, great job!
Thank you!! I honestly didn't think people would actually read it lol
Amazing to see what people can create in just two weeks. Creative game with character and oh my if this isn't eye-candy :D
Thank you so much! The art is from this amazing pack though!! https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny-swords I wish I could create something this beautiful
very fun and i loved the dialogues xD
Thank you so much! I honestly didn't think anyone would read lol
Amazing game and great visuals! Very polished, added to my list of games to play after the jam!
That you! I can hardly take credit for the visuals though! This comes from this amazing asset pack https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny-swords
What a fantastic game! I genuinely had a blast playing it. Y'all have done a really good job on it! Very polished. The gameplay is very unique with having to protect your possessed character.
Thank you so much!!
