Amazing work in such a short time! I'd love to see updates on your game in the future! I left you a rating. Please give our game jam game a play if you have a minute.

Developer

Thanks!

The game is simple and its easy to understand. I also love the fact that there is a red and green borderline so identify hazards and humans, small detail but makes a ton of help. Great job man. 

I would also love to hear your honest feedback towards my game and thanks in advance. :D

Developer

I appreciate it!

Is very well made game!!!! 

Also if you not busy.. I would really appreciate it if you can play and also rank my game call ice tower.. It would means a lot to me :)

Nice entry! A solid take on the theme! I liked finding all the different ways to kill the possessed souls. My favorite was the car lol. The animation popping in and out for the ghost is really solid. I wish he had a move animation, tho. The music and sound are great, and the game feels really nice to play.

For improvements, I would just suggest more variety in the hazards and maybe another level where the humans run from you or something. Some backstory on the ghost could be cool too!

Great work! Keep it up!

Developer

I appreciate it!

I am rating this game based on your gameplay video, As this is not for mobile.

The idea is bit strange 😅 but creativity is key, I like your Graphics it's cute especially purple man walking. Bgm is also mucis and as this is your first jam congrats you did a great work.

If you have time and want to give my game a try and share your honest and valuable feedback, Nothing forced if you want only.

Developer

Yeah the idea was a little morbid lol, Thanks for taking the time to comment!

In the updated version I made the subjects all different colors, I'm sorry you couldn't play because you're on mobile. I might add mobile controls in the future!

Submitted(+1)

The art style is cute, and the idea of killing people by controlling them seems evil and creative>:) Would be more effective if there are different killing animations. Great job!

Please give my game a try if you have a minute!

Developer

Thanks! It was just something that came to my mind when I saw the theme.

Nice to see other developers have the same ghost possession game idea like we did. Very fun and relaxing. Also the animations are very smooth and nice. Great game!

I really appreciate that! I worked hard on the animations and I'm glad you liked them.

Nice game concept! I think it would've better if the ghost or the possessed human moved faster, though. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Oh i really like the concept, add more mechanics and it would be really good, nice job!

Anyway please give my game a try too if u dont mind :D

Developer

Thanks! It definitely is lacking mechanics, I unfortunately just didn't have enough time.

Very nice game. I loved the music! Good luck!

Developer

I played till the end, maybe the graphics could be improved, but the animations are top! They really add to the fun of the game. I liked that there are multiple ways to "realease" a new soul. Maybe you could add some limitations for more funsies? Like "Swimmer" (can't be drowned) or "ZooKeeper" (not affected by snakes). That would add a bit more of challenge and variety.

Overall very interesting for a first game using GDevelop, hope you keep trying the engine!

Developer

Thanks for all of the feedback! I've actually had someone comment on my YT gameplay about adding things like "swimmers" and "zookeepers" and I totally agree. That would be cool.

This my 4th game on ghost possession. 

Does anyone play the game : Haunt the House

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I think possessing is a really good way to represent the theme. No, I've never played that one before.

Submitted(+1)

It's a short but entertaining game; I liked the mechanics, they're original. It reminded me of an internet game where you had 5 minutes to end your life.

Developer

Thank you! I tried to do something more unique and I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Submitted(+1)

I thought the idea was really cool, the graphics could be better, but overall it’s a good game

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

I claimed every soul!  The game was incredibly fun, perfectly matched the theme, and overall delivered an awesome experience.

Developer
