• Game design document is clearly organized and easy to approach. It covers the game's inspiration and goals clearly. Game mechanics and gameplay loop are also explained well. There's a description of the intended art style, though there are no sample images or prototypes of art or level design which could help with understanding your goals. The art in the game itself is very nice. I like the pixel style, the vivid coloration works well. The background environment is interesting and works well with the platforms making them feel like a natural part of the environment while still being noticible. It's a little difficult to identify that the glowing gems in the sword represent the player's lives. The combination of playing as a ghost and possessing enemies is a fun twist on a normal platforming strategy. It was neat to see how much the movement abilities change between the different playable characters. It was a little frustrating that using the possession button would immediately drop you out of a form and cost a life instead of throwing the sword to take on a new form. The background audio works really well fitting with the environment and setting the scene without being overly attention grabbing. Definitely fun, now devs...go get some sleep so I can fight the boss.
