- Reading the GDD and playing the game, I felt all the inspirations coming together into a unique blend in this at-first seemingly simple yet complex single-player puzzle game. It was very fun to possess objects and wrap my mind around how to manoeuvre next to achieve the goal. The mechanics and physics felt very smooth and polished; also, the animations were charming and/or visceral at times. I very much enjoyed playing this game, and I'm sure someone smarter than myself would enjoy the difficulty level a lot more, as it was challenging at times.

Summarise your game!
Our game is a possession puzzle game. The player controls a ghost that is able to possess objects in the world, which help him interact with the environment (clearing puddles of acid, moving platforms). Power-ups can be found around the world, which modify the properties of the possessed objects (Hold E in possessed form). The goal of the level of the submitted prototype is to deliver two teeth to the starting area, then using the feather to cause the giant to cough.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The player does not use any tools to interact with the environment, instead takes the form of things in the world to achieve their goals. Therefore they don’t use any weapons, but they (their ability to possess things) are the weapon.
Controls:
- WASD to move
- F to possess, G to unpossess
- E while possessing to apply "Heavy" power-up

A cute short puzzle game! I really liked the art and the mechanics of taking over different things within the body! It felt a little difficult to navigate around as some of the objects but that did help encourage exploring and interacting with random things to see what would happen. Good job!
