Simple but funny, and something I would certainly enjoy seeing expanded post-jam. Some of the 'puzzles' were a little less obvious than they should be (or maybe I'm just a blundering idiot), but other than that, pretty fun.

Great use of the theme, nice music, and pretty decent graphics.

(Sidenote: It's awesome to be in the same LD as the Superpowers team for once!)

gertjohnny 2016-04-19 09:46

Awesome. Best I've played so far - killer visual style, great tunes, actually pretty funny. Top notch work.

I found a game breaking bug though... as soon as I got Iron Nipples to bust open that entrance, I must have hit C and accidentally swapped myself in there, now I'm stuck.

siryakko 2016-04-19 13:13

Excellent music, great graphics and interesting take on the theme, what else A really great game

graebor 2016-04-19 13:25

Wow, I am in love with the art style. This is super impressive, my favorite entry so far!

mrnannings 2016-04-19 13:36

Looks very great but i don't know how to get in the club, i did talk to alle the people.

elisee 2016-04-19 14:18

Thanks y'all!! :)

mrnannings: After talking to the bouncer for the first time, you get a new power that should help you with that!

mnemusyne 2016-04-19 14:18

Absolutely amazing.

f4kethis 2016-04-19 15:05

Beautiful game, and I adore the music.

yinyin 2016-04-19 15:44

Welp, I turned into the sewers and that got me stuck.
The bridge doesn't stay lowered if you immediately go back to get another body.

Really liked the art and most of all camera movement.

I'm sad you couldn't at least finally shift back into your body and cue the credits. Would've been a decent enough ending point.

cakeknuckles 2016-04-19 15:46

oh wow, this is really stunning!
from the pixel-y lowpoly cartoonish style to the funny dialogue and unique characters, i can't even narrow down my favorite part of this. it really makes me wish i wasn't terrible at adventure puzzle games, haha. awesome job!

sadly, i couldn't hear any music in the html5 version. i heard sound effects just fine, but no tunes.

jcmonkey 2016-04-19 16:44

this has the makings to be a really great game. :D

sndr 2016-04-19 16:50

I don't know why but I get this message: "The author of this game has uploaded an invalid file and the game is currently unavailable." :( I really really would like to play this game. The art looks so lovely!

elisee 2016-04-19 16:57

Sorry about the sewer shapeshift bug. Just uploaded a new version, it should be fixed.

swamppenguins 2016-04-19 17:09

Amazing. Everything fits perfectly together.

nesferjo 2016-04-19 17:23

I love it! The graphics, the absurd sense of humor, the characters, and the concept overall. A shame I couldn't get my body back since I get stuck in front of it in the sewers...

Anyway, I would love to play a longer version of this game for sure. Not many games like this out there.

antarka 2016-04-19 17:25

Cool idea!

matt-beckett 2016-04-19 17:54

My fave game so far!

lucasncv 2016-04-19 18:15

Really cool and fun game. Love the graphics and the witty dialogs! Iron NIpples is the best character haha

dvdfu 2016-04-19 18:20

I couldn't find another way to get into the castle, but I love this entry so much! The visuals, sound, humour, and concept are all fantastic. Really wish there was an extended version!

allthebees 2016-04-19 18:23

Gah! This is fantastic, I love pretty much everything about it. My only problem is that I want to play more!

ragnta 2016-04-19 19:01

Nice arts! Good job!

McFunkypants 2016-04-19 19:04

I love the art! HAHAHA soooo goooood all the hilarious characters with so much personality. Amazing job.

weaverdeveloper 2016-04-19 20:03

Very cute and nice graphics, funny dialogue and well thought out relation to the theme.
I did get stuck though, after the cart moves. I see my character in the (prison? but the perspective is weird. It seems like i could move there, but i can't, and i can't interact with the door either when i take over the NPC.

riftpoint 2016-04-19 20:04

Amazing game! One of the best so far. The artstyle is incredible, Congratulations to the team

just-tom 2016-04-19 22:24

The whole thing is beautiful! Art, audio, writing, game-play everything.

Super duper checking out your other work!

ghust1995 2016-04-19 23:24

Very good game, great character design =)

oxysoft 2016-04-20 06:03

Excellent is all I can say about this entry.

solkar 2016-04-20 07:14

The character design is awesome... so many different character. I also think the 2d/3d mix works perfectly. Great job guys!

pixelpotions 2016-04-20 16:11

I don't need to say this artstyle is the one I love the most in the world!
Great idea for the story, great mechanic, great music, everything in this game is perfect, as I expected from you guys!
Congratulations!

ellian 2016-04-20 23:14

Maybe a bit too much walking back and forth, but you guys did an amazing job as always.
Love the graphics, it's simple but super well made for such a short time!

solifuge 2016-04-21 00:40

Some of the character designs and sense of humor reminded me of Pen Ward. Really loved the lumpy low-poly meshes with oekaki-looking textures. And the music... those instruments were fantastic paired with the slightly off-pitch samples that sounded like old vinyl records. Loved the "In da club" song too. The brief snippets of characterization via dialogue and weird world-building was a lot of fun too.

I got to the prison, but invisible walls and a large eggplant-guy won't let me get my body back. Was sad to see it end, and would love to see this more fully realized, or maybe used as a conceptual seed for something bigger.

10/10. Would be stuck forever as a Wuff-Wuffaing Shnozdog again.

fin_nolimit 2016-04-21 05:01

I think you are going to rate VERY high in the end!!!! You hit just about every category. Excellent job man! I was never able to get my body back and lower the bridge but I truly enjoyed trying!! :)

bytegrove 2016-04-21 11:05

A really good entry! I just adore the art style, and the dialogues and sound effects are hilarious!
Really sweet game, I wasn't able to figure out who was the bridge operator though..
Really dig the LucasArts atmosphere, I think you nailed it perfectly! Nice work! :D

seadads 2016-04-21 12:09

Got stuck in the sewers, couldn't walk over and talk to the pink guy? But what I did play was excellent, really love the visual style and the audio was sooooo good!

mrbungle 2016-04-21 12:25

Looks great and has some actually funny dialogue. Really enjoyed it!

mrbungle 2016-04-21 12:27

Forgot to mention, it has a very Adventure Time feel to it and that can only be the best thing ever in my book!

seadads 2016-04-21 12:32

That art style is amazing, and the quantity of characters animated is crazy! Pretty great all round actually, Well done!

roland-m 2016-04-21 19:50

Great art and prespective. =]

jonnopon3000 2016-04-21 22:36

I really loved this, overall a brilliant entry!

sndr 2016-04-21 22:44

Nice entry! I really loved the graphics! That pixel art style mixed with 3D was really awesome! :)

ivanfon 2016-04-22 02:08

Absolutely incredible game! I forgot that this was a jam game for a second, the art is great, music sets the mood and the gameplay is solid. Great job!

landosystems 2016-04-22 02:32

Amazing art style and sound effects! I can see my body! Why does it tell me to get through the sewers?

david-cookie 2016-04-22 17:18

It's just a perfect entry for me! It looks like a real game and I was so sad when I get to the "to do" point, I wanted to play more!! But I guess it's already pretty amazing content for 3 days ^^ The tracks are really great too! Huge congrats to you!

savethejets1 2016-04-22 20:36

6/5!

minibobbo 2016-04-22 20:57

Loved the graphics and the presentation. I spent a long time randomly trying different bodies to charm the guard.

tentacode 2016-04-23 08:13

This is awesomeeee :D 5 stars, also I'm impressed with superpowers, I might check that engine

togimaro 2016-04-23 12:37

Absolutely awesome!
Your engine is just fantastic! And the game really cool!
Great job :)

dssiege11 2016-04-24 15:39

Very beautiful game! Music is great and really like the character designs. Fantastic job!

afenda 2016-04-25 11:35

Funny game ! nice concept and i like the graphics. Just one point, i have no sound :(. Great job sparklinlabs team ;)

zyow 2016-04-25 18:38

This game is really cool! Graphics & sound are excellents! Good job!

sepharoth213 2016-04-25 21:16

I love the low-poly/low-resolution combo, it's gorgeous!

anaguilefdez 2016-04-26 00:21

Amazing game. Funny, beautiful graphics, and hylarious story.

fabraz 2016-04-26 02:48

Absolutely SPLENDID! One of my favorites.

Gorgeous visual design, adorable characters. We actually went for a similar idea! Shapeshifting to unlock different dialogues etc. We also use sprites in a 3D environment! (Though the comparisons end there.)

Gonna keep an eye out for the rest of your work, I bet I'd enjoy all of it! Rock on!

pjimmy 2016-04-26 09:18

Awesome, beautiful game

marmpa 2016-04-26 10:49

REally nice sounds. Loved that everyone had slighty different ones.THe music was really nice too.

franklins-ghost 2016-04-26 12:23

Love the character design for this, really helps set a quirky fantasy world setting. The dialogue and situational humour was also nicely done. Favourite character for me was the duck.

elisee 2016-04-26 20:17

What duck? It's totally not a duck. :)

Thanks for all the kind messages, we're glad you like the game so much! We've started working on a post-compo version.

jollyserpent 2016-04-26 20:49

Lovely adventure game. The art style is amazing, and it's overall very fun.

medidog 2016-04-28 19:24

Excellent game and a very solid entry! Would love to see the ending if you guys ever finish the story :)

quexd 2016-04-29 00:45

Would love to see more, got to what I assumed was the end and now wish to play more. Great job on this entry 5/5.

apantaloni 2016-04-29 18:16

Very beautiful in its weirdness! Enjoyable to play too. I got stuck in the sewers, it seems like I cannot go anywhere from there. Anyway congrats! I would love to see this developed as a full game.

badia_r 2016-04-30 13:02

Best game I tried so far! Good music, awesome graphics, funny dialogues. Excellent entry!

pibeex 2016-04-30 14:17

Best entry I've played so far. The music is great, and the art style very innovative. Keep up the amazing work!

felladrin 2016-05-01 04:53

Oh no!! The game is not complete! I can't get my body back!! What Dowie do now!? :D

Awesome entry guys! Great gameplay, music/sounds, quotes and graphics. Hoping to see the post-jam!

kik0729 2016-05-01 14:51

I'm stuck after I entered the dungeon
Nevertheless, I loved the game
I have no idea how you managed to do all the awesome art for the places and the characters in just 3 days!
It's my favourite entry this year!
I really do hope you finish working on the project now that the jam is over.
Is there anywhere I can follow your projects outside of the compos and jams?

s0rax 2016-05-03 11:08

Funny game, graphics and sounds are cool and the history is nice :)

sunflower 2016-05-03 20:50

Reached the DUNGEON: TODO, gonna assume that's the point where the game ends short. A bit of a shame, since it's a pretty cool game. The graphics and animation are varied, the music works with the mood (I think I might have heard the body-swap sound effect a bit too much, though...), the theme is used properly, and the mechanics seem to work correctly; overall it's quite a sweet adventure game. Great job, I'd like to see the post-Jam update.

samlo 2016-05-04 15:20

Hilarious game. Loved the music, camera work, and dialogue!

flannelvindicate 2016-05-04 18:15

Hey! You have been featured in today's LUDUM DARE TO BELIEVE! Check it out at - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYwIu8CE2Yk

wheerd 2016-05-04 23:01

Beautiful and funny game, really well done!

usonchen 2016-05-05 15:14

The graphics and art is really my type!
Hard to believe this is a LD entry ! High integrated in my opinion ~

domrein 2016-05-06 01:50

Loved it. Would love to see a complete version.

avinashd 2016-05-06 13:29

The writing humor is spot-on the graphics and audio work together fantastically! 5/5 on all those aspects!

Superpowers is a relatively new engine, isn't it? How fun was it to work with?

randomhuman 2016-05-07 22:18

Funny stuff :) It's a shame it comes to such an abrupt end. What's there is great though, sound, graphics, writing, all excellent.

ermrk 2016-05-08 11:12

The best entry I have played this Ludum Dare. I love it whole!

lereveur 2016-05-08 15:06

Awesome adventure game, reminds me LucasArts ones ! I think the last frame in the sewers have a bug : character is blocked few pixels before the body, but can go throught the dark background, it seems like the floor hitbox is misplaced... ^^ Anyway, really good entry, I hope you'll get a very good rate at the end !

evanegibbs 2016-05-08 23:21

What a fantastic game! I'm so impressed with how much you got done in the jam. The style was so great, I'd absolutely play through a bigger version of this game! I loved all of the designs and the humor. Great job!! :)

chuigum 2016-05-09 02:28

Loved the graphics, some really cool camera work! Sweet music too. Great game, awesome job well done for 72 hours! :)

ludipe 2016-05-09 22:48

Really loved the art and the way you mix 2D and 3D assets. Found the gameplay nice but a bit too clasic. Art and puns were the best of this entry :-)

emmelineprufrock 2016-05-10 00:59

Really cute! Great look and feel.

2016-05-10 11:03
