Chrome is blocking it because of malware.

Just switch to a different browser like Firefox and it should work fine.

Avast Anti-virus has blocked this for me :(

I really liked the possession mechanic. Great job!

It was fun!

The simple graphics scared me at first...but I must say I eventually had a good fun playing this game. It reminded me of Berzerk on Atari 2600. The switching betwee words and the face your body is still vulnerable is a very nice touch. My only complaint would be the fact that the sword is blocking (you know, you can't use your sword when walking, like in Zelda for example). I think this could be really easily improved.

Funny, and it feels real retro with the graphics.

I love possession in games, lots of fun :)

The ghost and shield mechanics are clever and fun. I would like it if there was better feedback when I was damaged or dealt damage.

[SPOILER] In particular, it took me ages to realise I could do something to the dragon. I've killed his head now but his hands are still there and I don't know if that's the end. [/SPOILER]

Very nice. Good use of the theme and the mechanics work well, could definitely be a start for a longer little puzzle game

Reminds me of Adventure on the atari :) Enjoyed the way you made the player understand each mechanic before moving on. There's a bug where you can take over the enemy near the switch and then release him without hitting the switch, you get stuck. Would be nice to get some feedback on hitting/being hit a bit more, maybe pushing you away a bit extra? 'g' for going in/out of your body was too far from the other keys to be comfortable.

Interesting, good take on the theme!

Simple game but well done. I included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/02vIiZyi3-c
