Really liked this one, it was quite polished both visually and concept wise. Really liked the aspect of instead of avoiding the enemies you had to become them and use their abilities. Good job overall :)

Really nice game! Well polished, a creative interpretation of the theme.

It's interesting. The puzzles felt a little lack luster, they weren't too hard and without the addition of a proper reset button, they could get a little tedious. But, the art was fantastic, and the music/sfx were great. There's not a whole lot more to say, it's an interesting concept but the sort of meh puzzle design brought it down a bit. Good game.

Wow. that's a fun puzzle platformer. Fits the theme in a way i havent seen many of the games do.

It all looked a bit stiff but other than that it's perfect.

I also really enjoyed the time and effort put into creating the puzzles.

I also made a game for the jam and i would be happy if you would play and rate it

Damn. great game. Sounds and visuals were great! Puzzle design was also fun and there was a lot of variety for 72h! With more levels and more biomes/mechanics and this could easily be a full game :)

Love the visuals, the pixel art is amazing! Very clever and balanced puzzles, not too easy and not too hard! Good job!

Is it inspired by Baba is You? :)

Not specifically, but I think we've all played it so it may have influenced us passively! :D

Fantastic idea, I love taking control of other creatures! It would be great to have a "level reset" button, though. :)

Developer(+1)

We actually have a level reset function, but it only triggers if the player ends up without a body. We should have added a keybind, you are right!

It's at least possible to go back to the ladder and reset that way, but I can definitely see the value is being able to reset from anywhere in the level.

This is such a cool entry to the jam by far one of my favorites

The rules / abilities were a bit confusing at first but you get used to it. Awesome art and cool soundtrack. I liked it ! Good job to your team !

Submitted(+2)

Really fun concept! You can even kinda reset the levels by going back to the previous one and than back again. Just a solid puzzler!

This is a really nicely presented game; one of the best. You guys know what you're doing!

Good pacing, the puzzles are clear. Really nothing much bad I can say.

So just nitpicking:

1) It's frustrating that if I go towards an enemy that is coming towards me that we swap places. I see we have a wait button. But it's just a bit fiddly.

2) The theme is kind of only appropriate at a meta level, but not if you examine the game mechanics. I mean - if you know video games you know that in some games if you intercept the same square as an enemy, you die. But in this game, it's not clear mechanically that you are dying, or "failing". As far as I'm concerned, this is a game about phase shifting your consciousness into other bodies... which isn't failing! But like I said... it's a nitpick

I really enjoyed this! I really like the music. Nice job!

Awesome concept!! LOVE the sounds, especially the rock pushing one. So satsifying!!! Couldn't find the restart button, so I had to reload the game a few times tho :/


EDIT: apparently I can use the ladder, didn't even read that sorry :D
