Omg, you've literally stolen one of my ideas for a future, thief! (just joking, but it's cool to see the execution of a similar idea from the head by someone else)
The pixel art style is really good, I would want to learn to make it as good in only 48 hours. And the colors are so well blended together. It all makes the game satisfying to play. Oh yeah, the game itself! The idea is neat, and the execution and level design are all on a high level for a game jam. Seems more tutorials would make the game better, but 48 hours really is not so much time, and you made a good job with doing such a nice game in this period

Than you so much for the compliments! We actually got the idea from the game "Avenging Spirit" hehe, here is a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9vrVknosUM . The "possessing the enemy" mechanic is one that i would love to see more being done, so if you have ideas for a game with that, just go for it! Would be cool to see other games with the same idea. And really cool that you liked the pixel art, if you want to improve your's i recommend searching tutorials on youtube and copying existing sprites to feel how they are actually done, at least i have learned a lot by doing this.
And yes, a tutorial is really needed for the game, we will improve it after the jam period is done.
Thank you again for the comment!
Well, who could've thought that this "brand-new" idea in my mind is so old XD
But I guess it always comes to the execution, so it doesn't matter. I'll definitely try to use this theme some day, and it will be interesting to see your opinion about it :)
And I appreciate the advice for the pixel art, Youtube is, without a doubt, a greatest teacher of the 21 century XD I'll be working on it, thanks you!
