I really like the mechanic idea, it's challenging, but simple to understand! It does go with the theme as well, which is always good. I'll say that I wish there was a little more feedback? Like a sound effect when you hit a wall or something kills you, so it'd be a little more clear what ended the run, you know? Good job overall!

The Poossessor is maybe one of the silliest characters I've seen, I had a chuckle. This game is damn hard though. Pretty neat idea, juggling the two mechanics, get the Poossessor through the gap, then pray you can make the shot to get the Omniturd through too. That said I was able to also just fly the Poossessor under the leaves which made life much easier. There were some walls that I'm pretty sure are impossible? Shooting them did nothing and I couldn't get far enough under or over them. Unfortunately, I could not reach the 7 minute mark :<

HandshakesThanks so much for checking it out! And what do you mean when you say you could "fly under the leaves"? I've updated the HOW TO PLAY part in the description and in the comments of the game page since the rules where described a bit vaguely in the game itself, maybe you'll have a better time with the game after reading it. Once again thanks!
I should have explained the game better in the actual game. The description within the game page actually explains everything you need to know. Regarding what you said; the poossessor and Omniturd have separate obstacles to go through. The poossessor is not affected by the black-green obstacles (you did not need to go under the leaves ((meant to be clouds))). The "impossible walls" you're talking about are the brown-green obstacles the poossessor CAN be affected by (not the Omniturd), and to get through them, you need to shoot RMB projectiles (white ones that come from Omniturd) at the spots of the obstacle WITHOUT the green snot on them to clear a way for the poossessor. Hope that makes more sense. I'm curious to see how far people can get if they try it again after actually having everything explained to them. I think I myself got almost 5 minutes on a run.
