Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
YEs
Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
YES
Summarise your game!
A zelda like dungeon Crawler where you control a sword taking possession of a dead body to traverse the dungeon.
Controls
Keyboard
WASD = Move
Space = Activate/select option
Mouse = Control direction of the sword
Left Click = Jump/Attack
F = Use Items
Q/E = Cycle inventory
Shift = Dash.
When you are a sword you can die to normal damage but if time runs out you will die, you have to go back to your body and survive
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You are the Sword, you transform into different items like a hook or a bow, you control your movement with the mouse independently of where the body its looking, if the body takes too much damage you go flying and you need to return
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
I hurt my wrist while programming and i couldnt finish with what i wanted to show, also itch.io broke a couple of mechanics in my game so i had to go back and change things at the last moment so if something breaks, im sorry i didn't have more time

Really cool game! I really enjoy the feel of it - especially in terms of spamming the dash move. I love me a good dash move, and knocking into walls is fun on its own right too. The items are very fun as well! Overall it's a great dungeon explorer type game.
I think in terms of theme it does fit (Being the sword, transforming into items, controlling the sword direction independent of the player character, etc) but I don't think the mechanics fully convey that. Don't get me wrong though- the mechanics are really good and feel good to engage with, I just don't think the "controlling movement with WASD and controlling the sword with the mouse" is a unique way of conveying "you are the weapon", because that's just basic twin stick shooter style gameplay.
However despite all that - it's a damn fine game that feels so good and juicy. I wanted to engage in all of the rooms, fight all of the enemies with the tools I had, and discover more of each and every room as I played. It was fun, fast paced, and combat was really satisfying. I'd love to eventually see more as it goes on. Congratulations on a job well done!!
Nicely done mate!
