Very cool body swapping machnic I can see this being developed in a full game!
I wish there were a bit more stealth mechanic tho.

Developer

Thanks!

It's so shoddy... But I kinda love it.

Developer

Thanks! That was the best we could do in 48h with our very limited experience. Will do better next time :)

I liked the mind control mechanic. Very original and creative!

Developer

thanks a lot, we are glad you liked it!

Such a good idea! It was pretty fun but definitely needs more polish

Developer

thanks for trying it - about polishing,  we certainly reached the limit of what we could do in 48h with our limited experience. We plan to continue working on it and learn to make it better.

Hilarious idea. Hope you continue with it!

Developer

Thank you! We will.

Neat concept, nice to see animations as well! The core concept is pretty cool, though when you cancel control, you still have a few seconds where your character is running around, which breaks the fluidity a bit. Also, being able to do more with the rabbits than move around would be nice - interact with the environment somehow.

Well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot! We will aim to improve fluidity in the future.

I never trusted rabbits anyway. 
Fun!

Developer

You're right, they are evil! Thanks!

Very clever!

Thanks!

One of the best relations to the theme I've seen! It is unbelievable how the 3d models are made and the mechanic is implemented under 48 hours. Freeing myself from the chair felt finicky yet the rest of the game was smooth. With more levels and polish i can see this game being published on steam.

I would love it for you to check out my game if you have the time :)

Developer

Thanks.

Made us laugh a lot! Nice take on a mind control idea.

We loved your game as well.

Hahaha this game is so funny (and fun). Wish it was longer.

Like that there is a story. Would like that story in the description to be put in the game. E.G. after you complete the game, or parts of it for each level that is completed (if you had multiple levels).

Also when I was screwing around a bit while the map was opened with left click / right click, I at some point controlled both a rabbit and the player at the same time, which I'm sure is not intended.

Developer

We did not have enough time to figure out or fix the bug, but it will be fixed in future versions.

Thank you for the feedback we are happy you enjoyed the game.

Neat concept. Keep working on it and I reckon you'll create something excellent with these foundations.

Submitted(+1)

Really dig your take on the theme! Good work!

Developer

thanks a lot!

It was fun playing your game! I like the the 3d models and the switching mechanic is a cool idea. If you like this idea, keep working on it! Awesome job submitting a fun mind swapping game to this jam and I hope you improved your game making skills. If you have time, please check out my game :D

Great idea! I enjoyed the art and music. The possession is a little buggy (sometimes I’d control both or neither character), but overall I really enjoyed the hecticness having to tuck an enemy away somewhere quickly while my body careens into the next room.

Developer (1 edit)

thank you! Sorry for the bug in the mindswap - we will definitely try to fix that in future versions.

WOW. A beginning middle and and end. A 3D game for a Jam! fun to play. Responsive controls. Easy to understand. Funny premise. This was a good little game. Great job! The text for needing a key stuck for me but I still beat the game and did in 3.13. Thanks for adding the timer for speed running.

Please check our little game out if you get the chance.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

The bunnies are way too cute to be deadly! Nice job :) I like the map, reminded me of zelda dungeons.

Developer

Thank you!
