Interesting idea, but definitely needs work and content. The game was confusing to get into for the first couple minutes. Neat monster designs and charming graphics!

The art wasn't bad. The game is cool but it needs more content.

This game was an interesting concept, but it's clear you ran out of time. It's incredibly glitchy and very confusing, why does my bull keep going backwards? Why is my bird so jittery when it flies? Why did I die randomly during/before the hills stage (I seriously don't know what's killing me at all.) The camera doesn't keep up with the character and I just generally feel slow and not in control.

The graphics are nice, though, and the monster design for the bull and general scenery was creative and colorful. The village, however, looked awkward.

Overall, it's a nice idea and a good first attempt, and I hope to see more from you in the future!

The graphics and the music are great but it feels light on the gameplay side

My biggest criticism is that I got killed right at beginning of the level by a bull after waiting 20 seconds for the camera to focus on me, and then each time you die, I had to wait for the camera again.

On the plus side, the graphics are pretty nice.

Good game, i like the whole take control of various monsters concept, music and graphics are really good, will surely be great with more content :)

I had a crash in the village when i was using one of the brown dashing monsters and had this when i ran into a villager :

Good concept, too bad you couldn't finish in time.
Had the same error as MrMordem.

I've noticed the complaints about the camera and remembered I forgot to mention that you can press the T button to skip that whole sequence. Also I have no idea why that bug with the demonrammer is showing up... The variable is announced at the create event so it shouldn't have any trouble finding it. I'll look a bit deeper into it though! Thanks for the feedback!

The yay:
- art
- different creatures
- audio

The nay:
- no clear goal whatsoever (except in tutorial)
- gameplay feels clunky and glitchy

It could definitely use a lot of polish and tweaking. ^^"

Great gameplay mecahnic of taking over other creatures and using their abilities. Also great audio! Maybe have an idicator over the creature's heads to show what is controllable

peculiarcarrot 2015-08-27 01:16

Nice idea, but I didn't really understand what was going on or my goal. (Also my entry had a similar idea if you wanna check it out #ShamelessSelfPromotion) I did really like the art and the design of the different creatures, though!

rougerogue 2015-08-27 01:26

That #ShamelessSelfPromotion was successful. I'll go check yours out and then go to sleep since it's 5 am here right now XD

Loved the graphics, reminded me lots of Another World which is one of my favourite games. I also felt the gameplay while a little clunky was really well thought out. Over all it was a great game I enjoyed playing it!

tselmek 2015-08-27 08:45

Really nice graphics and cool music. The mechanics are interesting but the content needs a little bit of work. Good job!

reccy 2015-08-27 12:59

It's a neat concept and I enjoyed playing it, but it definately needs more content. You should keep working on it :)

xanjos 2015-08-27 16:22

I think I might have glitched the game during the village level (I possessed one of the bat creatures and flew all the way to the end then dispossessed it and ended up getting stuck in the air) but I actually like idea of possessing various creatures and using their unique abilities to progress through the game.

yrr 2015-08-27 16:38

I keep getting gameovers during the cutscene at the start of the hills level :/

superpatch 2015-08-27 16:38

I see the concept, and it surely could be a great idea for a full game. I also liked the graphics. It needs something more, but it has great potential.

gatobot14 2015-08-27 16:41

Like the graphics and music, the idea was cool, cant finish playing beacause of this

well the importantly is that you have the basic game mechanics. the art is fine there is notting to worry about.
the idea itself is great but it need more content to it.and sometimes the game-over bug out.example i am dead but i don't see the gameover press R to restart.

reisen 2015-08-27 18:16

Interesting mechanics, will be great with some proper level design.

nikteddy92 2015-08-27 23:48

Woa nice idea!
I like the control mechanic and the gameplay is smooth and enjoyable. Maybe a little too easy.. ^^'
Well done RogueRogue!

orangeez 2015-08-29 12:32

It's quite an interesting idea, reminds me of Kameo: Elements of Power. Graphics are nice and the concept is fun, but it sure could use more variation :)
One thing that disturbed me the most was level intro which didn't pause the game; I died several times and wasn't sure what happened.

ponywolf 2015-08-29 14:56

Loved the visual style!

Biruts 2015-08-30 12:29

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

Cool game idea and background music. Nice entry!

abcdef65g 2015-09-03 03:38

The game is really cool! The graphics are charming and the music is great. It could use some goals to achieve but I understand it's a sandbox game.

Taking it further, I could see a very interesting game where you explore areas and control all kinds of monsters.

ethproductions 2015-09-14 21:15

The idea behind this entry is great, as are the graphics. I didn't rate this in Overall or Fun out of respect for it being unfinished. Hopefully you can finish it up sometime soon!
