A lot to like here.

It's a good start !

Like pretty much the possibility to switch spells, it was fun. :) Need to work a bit more on graphics now ^^

Woah! I wasn't convinced at first but it turned out to be really good! The character really looks like an action/thriller movie bad guy, and I love the GTA (1&2) feel in it! Skinning people is by far the funnier.

I didn't beat the game cause I'm not very good at it but also because the controls are weird. I would have loved a simpler way to change power, like right click for exemple, or a different button for each power (LMB to shoot, RMB to skin, spacerbar to clear the zone...)

Really liked the ideas in this game. It could really do with better graphics - it was hard to know where your main power could reach to.

That aside the skinning power was great and the powers you had besides that were great to. A very ambitious game to make in 48 hours though.

Cool game but the controls are a bit wired

Well, its a really nice start, but it has some very obvious problems. The first is that there is no shortcuts for the powers. You have to cycle through with r and t each time you want a different power. Second, the graphics on the powers make it hard to tell which power is which. Finally, every time you switch powers, you lose your skin, so it gets annoying when trying to attack guards. You should at least keep it until you use a power. Other than that though its really good and I think you should continue it. Its really fun, and minus the graphics, the game has a really nice and creepy feel to it.

I hope to see more

Cool concept. I like the idea of taking over dead things. Would have been nice to have a goal. Also are all of your graphics stretched? They look a little garbled. Nice job for 48 hours!

I wasn't quite sure what each of the powers did in this game. I figured out that the second power removes the skin off a corpse, but I'm not sure what the 4th power does.

Impressively big for a 48-hour game!

It's a good and ambitious idea. I like how you are able to switch spells, but a faster mana regen would make the game alot more fun.
The graphics are very simple, but it's at a good standard for the 48 compo.
It's fun, but like I said, would be better if you could use spells more often.
Not much can be said about the audio. It's simple but it's there, which is much more than most others.

Congratulations on this great submission.

Sorry, but I didn't understand much of the game ... the skinning is cool. But I don't get what the other powers do. Also, I couldn't find anything to do other then to kill cops. The mana bar (or whatever you call it) refreshes to slow for my understanding.

van-merwan 2012-12-19 20:51

The different powers aren't very well balanced, I always use the skin power because it uses less mana and I feel like an assassin.
The boucy power is pretty fun too. :)

I had to try each spell to figure out what they all were (the icons didn't help), and ended up running out of mana. Good start though, I rated you highly in graphics because I loved the way you did the lightning spell. Very programmer art-y. :)

Pretty fun, graphics need a bit o'tuning, but a good romp nonetheless :D.

Nice concept with the skinning. There seemed to be some problems with collisions, it would be nice if I could walk alongside a wall without friction. Also the power icons in the top right were often in the way of my view. Other than that it was really nice.
