The music is good! The art is ok. But the camera is really annoying - it doesn't show you very much on the right side so it's hard. I also think it's generally hard but I don't really know. I had to use ghost mode to go further away. When I die I just come back at the start, not as a ghost, but again as a human. I sadly don't really see what this game should've been... sorry. Edit: I now saw the posses ability and I think that's a good idea! So the concept is good. But the second hard already is very hard for me. In general, the concept is good but the game sadly isn't that good... D:

Banging tunes!

I like the concept; it is interesting. A bit rough around the edges but could make a cool game!

The idea of possessing your enemies to get around things is interesting. But it seems like based on your replies you know it barely works. Great first try! :D

Yeah, progress halted for a couple of days in the middle of the jam. It's really a shame, I like the concept of it a lot.

I just love me a punching skeletons game. 

Kinda didn't understand the mechanics, especially the crazy numbers the HP was spitting out. What does death even mean? Very philosophical

Oh yeah I still didn't add anything to the description sorry about that. And as for anything else that doesn't make sense, the answer is that there are 27 lines of code in the game which are not an affront to god, I still have no idea how the thing works and I fucking made it so that should speak volumes about the quality.

Just a friendly reminder that you still can submit your game up to 48 hours after the jam ends. I recomend, that in the future, you join a jam's discord so you could ask about stuff like this.

I am in the discord. I just made the submission earlier than the post about that was made.
