Very creative game! I would like to see more of it, more levels and mechaincs. Art style looks incredibly appealing and fresh, liked it a lot. There is a bug when you stand too close to disabled robots, the arm can swap your head too early, that  results in you being stuck inside of previous disabled robot, and game softlocks. Also, text and math puzzles are interesting, but does not much about head-swapping, maybe you could use more classic puzzles with buttons, lifts and pushing boxes, but focus more on head-swap mechanic. Simple guiding each other through narrow bridges, enclosed corridors and timed lifts/platforms would work super well, I think. Anyway, great game for a 48 jam, thanks!

I have no words to describe how impressed I am by this game. Not only is the concept is amazing BUT YOU MADE MULTIPLAYER IN 2 FRICKING DAYS HOWW?? Had a lot of fun playing this with my brother wanted more levels. Seriously man make this a steam game I'd pay for something like this. Why isn't this in top 10 popular this game is super underrated

Making an online multiplayer game in a Game Jam! That's truly astonishing! Even though the highest setting is to find another friend to play with you. After a lot of effort convincing my roommate to play with me, the game was quite good! Kudos to you.

Working multiplayer in a game jam is crazy, and I love this implementation of the theme! Gave it go and had a mind-bending, but fun, time. Great work!

I don't have the time to set up for a multiplayer session right now, but this looks very cool. Tried to boot it up just myself with myself and it looks stunning!

Thank you so much! I understand that you don't have time for multiplayer games. If you ever have time later and have no teammate, consider contacting people from the comment section, or joining this Discord server to play Head Swap together. https://discord.gg/gDfJkGr6Sk

Looks cool. couldn't play though :/

Hi! Thanks for your message. I understand that not everyone has a teammate to play multiplayer games. If you want though, there are other people here in the comment section with no teammate; you can either contact them directly, or join this new Discord server for people to play Head Swap together. https://discord.gg/gDfJkGr6Sk (I also understand if you don't wish to play with someone you don't know.) Thanks anyways!

A great concept for a game, though too bad I don't have someone to try it with :( . Maybe you could explore making a singleplayer version after the jam

I tried it with a friend, and honestly, it was an incredible and fun time. We were blown away by the fact that you made an online game in a jam. It must have been a lot of work. We would love to know how you managed to make the server one of the players!

Developer

Thank you so much! That kind of messsage means the world to me. The game uses free Photon PUN servers for Unity. So basically, when hosting a game, players create a room on a Photon server, which is used to communicate between the two players. Thanks again!

I really wanted to play the game , It is very appealing , but can't play Multiplayer , Don't have friend to play. But rated this game by seeing the visuals , this game will be definitively awesome.

I was really looking forward to playing this, but couldn't manage to connect to my friend sadly, I won't be giving a bad rating for that though, stuff happens

Developer

Hi, I discovered a bug: If you host a game then press 'Back', it breaks the next connection (it loads forever). You might wanna retry (and press alt-f4 if you need to change room). Sorry about that!

This is a very creative idea. It was a lot of fun to play.

Thank you so much!
