Clever core mechanic. Fun application of the theme with smooth controls and a nice minimalist style. Well done :)

Developer

Cheers! Thanks for playing :)

Neat idea and well put together, love the creature names haha.

Developer

Thanks very much :) the creature names were great fun to come up with

Submitted(+1)

you polish up this real good! the idea is pretty interesting as well!

Developer

Thank very much :) glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

love it. i would have loved a stage with a single weak enemy so you actually had to fight the boss

Developer

Thanks very much! An actual final boss would have been great - would have loved working on some tricky attack patterns for Chomper :)

Submitted(+1)

Really excellent! It felt very polished and well put together. Each of the characters had their pros n cons. I dont have notes or feedback really, i had a ton of fun.

Developer

Thank you very much :)

Fantastic game! One of the few I've played which manages "role reversal" well mechanically instead of thematically.

Love the charm of it all and it's very well put together. I hope it does very well this year!

Developer

Thank you very much :)

The game is very polished with well-made AI mechanics for the enemies (which is something that I find hard to achieve). The music+SFX is good and matches the visual style perfectly.

It is a game that is fun to play and enjoyable. Plus, really cool approach of the theme!

Developer(+1)

Thanks very much! Really happy with your comments on the AI - I spent a while trying to work out some behaviour that would be engaging but predictable enough that the player would be able to plan accordingly, so very pleased it's worked out :)

Submitted(+1)

This game was so much fun! Great AI and art for just two days at it. This was one of those games that I would love to see as a full game. Also love to see another Godot submission!

Developer

Thank you very much! Godot's been really popular this jam by the looks of it, which is great to see :)

Submitted(+1)

Both the music and visuals are great in this game, simple but addicting to play. I couldn't get to what looks like a boss in one of the screenshots but I had some fun. Would be nice to see more species and rooms.

Something cool to add would be a stealth mechanic where all enemies don't know who the player is until one goes rogue or the player attacks. So a player constantly attacking will be swarmed quickly, but a player who's more stealthy with their kills would have the other enemies be confused and randomly attack each other from fear.

Developer

Thank you very much! The stealth mechanic is a fantastic idea, I love it :)

fun and polished game

Developer

Thank you very much :)

This was a fun idea. I like that you need to make the decision of what you want to play as because it carries into the next room which means you have to play against it the next time.

Developer

Thank you very much :)

Submitted(+1)

Excellent game! Having to switch roles every room ensures variety in the gameplay. I was sad every time I let the Galoober go. Also hilarious that you can become the box. gg!

Developer

Thanks very much :) delighted that you found the box - was worried it might go unnoticed!

Submitted(+1)

Nice! Liked everything about it. It has good difficulty, its short and concise and has a very cool concept. Liked the art and the music. I really wanted to try to face the last boss :p Very good job :)

Developer

Thank you very much! Glad you had a good time playing :)

Submitted(+1)

This concept definitely works to keep me engaged, and the visuals and soundtrack top it off really well. The shoober was by far my favorite "class" of character to play here, but getting up close with every shot definitely made keeping my health low a lot trickier - the level of challenge here is just right.

Developer

Thank you very much :) glad to hear there's another person on team shoober!

Submitted(+1)

I love how the final boss was incredibly hard! Awesome game, great job!

Developer

Lol - thank you very much :) glad you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

amazing game! really clever take on the theme and great execution. loved the music and the artstyle, and my favorite goon was the goober. i think a dash/dodge roll could’ve complemented the gameplay, but still a very fun and polished experience (: (took me like 20 tries to get to the boss, but im glad i did, it made me chuckle taking control of him)

Developer(+1)

Thanks very much! A dodge roll would be perfect, it's definitely a little too easy to get yourself trapped as it is currently. Glad the final boss got a chuckle out of you :)

Submitted(+1)

Simple yet entertaining. Brilliant art and sound as always! The challenge is there, and the play strategy varies between rounds. Awesome work! 

Although I would love to have a twist at the end after you become the boss: an actual boss battle on the last level. Also, the gray patch on the ground is a bit too dark to imply that it's still a floor for me. It took me quite some time to realize that it's just a floor texture.

Still, it's a nice, polished game that I really enjoyed.

Developer(+1)

Thanks very much! Particularly appreciate the comment on art and sound :)

An actual final boss would definitely be a good addition! Great point on the tileset too - it could definitely use a little refinement to make sure it reads properly. It's also made me think that I'd love to add bottomless pits, luring an enemy Galoober into a charge only for it to fall to its death sounds like a fun tactic >:)

Submitted(+1)

I loved this game! Great music and art, it feels nice to play. I love learning how each character works then choosing which one you prefer to play as most, and sometimes being forced to lose the player you want to be. Lots of fun all around

Developer

Thank you :) happy to hear you enjoyed the variety of characters, I know I'm always annoyed when I have to give up my beloved Shoober when entering a new stage
