This was so much fun!!
I was a little confused on the tutorial at first because I thought the enemies were gonna look different from the husk I connected. But I restarted the game and realized I missed the part about "using them against their own kind." Once I got that, it all made sense!
I love how each enemy has a different attack you can use! Really adds to the fun of it! Also, music, graphics and level design are all fantastic.
The only thing I'd suggest is maybe a bit of a visual reduction or variety when the player is surrounded from all sides. I don't know if it was the lightning, the screenshake, or the fact that all the enemies were about the same color and exploding, but at that point it felt a little too chaotic. I didn't realize I could still get out and thought it was just a death animation... so maybe just a tad less there could really help orient the players, at least in the early levels :)
Also, as much as I love the idea of being chained to the husk forever, (very metaphorical!) logistically, it might be nice to have a feature where you can eject the husk to pick up a different one (perhaps it could be like a charged special attack, so it's not overused), since some of the enemies, particularly the 4-direction projectile ones, are a little hard to aim.
Really, really awesome work with this game! Best of luck in the jam!

I really like a lot of these suggestions, especially the ejecting mechanic. I did actually try to make that mechanic but it got so buggy and I didn't have enough time to flesh it out before the jam was over so that was unfortunate. I was gonna call that mechanic "accept" as well to add to that metaphorical theme lol. If I do come back to this, I'm definitely gonna take a lot of your advice, thanks for the good feedback!
Super cool idea and super well executed! I want to praise it, but it's so beatiful I don't even know where to begin! I feel this one deserves to be in the top 20! Simply amazing!
Incredible game! Very fun to play, nice visuals and very good music.
Also, big thanks for adding sound settings
epic game epic music great mechanics amazing art
This game is really polished, unique, great looking and most importantly fun! For a game made in 48 hours this is great! (btw I did find a bug where I ended up out of bounds, screenshots attached. Not sure exactly why it happened or if you are aware of it, but I think it was caused by the character I was attached to dying as I walked into a wall.)
The mechanic is so unusual(if you pull the enemy to yourself, you can control them) and visuals are perfect as well. I loved the game
This game is so original, the mechanics where you can "absorb" the enemies abilities is so cool. Also, this is one of the most visually polished game I've played in the jam, the art is so cool and the lighting and postprocessing is superb. Also, really neat tutorial. A very good game, congratulations!!
Very fun bullet hell game, the copy mechanics are so cool, and all the screen shake and dramatic effects are very well polished, love this one
This is actually a fairly decent dungeon-crawler-ish game with beautiful aesthetics and a strong feeling when playing.
Not much to complain about it besides one little thing. Whenever you walk around a corner your character tends to get hooked at that corner. I do not know if its intentional but the narrow ways make it difficult to navigate when chain-bound and slow down the game a bit.

feels good to play, awesome art
one of the most satisfying games I've played so far! great production value while still having a lot of content like a tutorial and enemy variety
This feels like it's already an official game rather than something coming from a game jam! UI can be improved and levels can be added - (I'm not a fan of the 'survive as long as you can' type of game). Other than that, it's solid. Great job!
Edit: I might be tired, but I'm curious to know if the screen has a lil bit of fish-eye effect? It curves a bit towards the edge. I just want to make sure my eyes didn't play a trick on me ><
Thank you for the feedback! I did add a very slight lens distortion so no it's not your eyes lol.
Phew, good to know! lol
I love this! Very juicy and intuitive. I just wish there was more of an incentive to switch enemies on the fly. As it is, I would just choose whatever looked best and stick with it until it died, I think it would be more interesting if the player was forced to think deeper about their choice for possession + had to switch enemies mid action. Great job!
This game is exceptional. I'm at a loss as to how you've made a game that's so fun to play, with such beautiful aesthetics and an amazing soundtrack in only 48 hours. Incredible job!
Awesome game! I love the graphics. I can't stop playing it :D
The idea is very interesting, but you could add more to the game (such as powerups).
Also, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but once I could press up and go on forever (I could go through the boundary).
Overall, this is an interesting and really well-made game, I love it!
Thanks! Yeah, so if you take control of a flying enemy you would be able to go through walls.
Very good! Not sure if it was bad luck or not, but the game scales up too quickly from 1 enemy to too many at once. Overall, really fun!
Amazing game. mechanics are also super good , I had really fun playing this <3
It's pretty hard to believe this was made within 2 days. This is a really well polished game with a very fun gameplay loop. Well done!
