Feels like a good rogue-like. I enjoy the possession mechanic quite a bit. It changes the strategy used to navigate the dungeon more than I expected.

Thanks for making it!

bit hard to understand what the game is about before playing it, definatly cool after playing it though

A really cool idea, body swapping from enemy to enemy to defeat them is neat. Especially like how you leave zombies behind!

Great game! Kinda reminds me of super hot. I'm definitely going to give this one some more play time. I really love the map discovery you have in your game. The key layout is a bit weird, but other than that, I can't think of any critiques.

Thanks for playing! We've added a "post-jam usability update", which addresses a crashing bug, adds numeric keypad support, and improves the in-game text and help/context messages - But it was released after the jam was over, so you may want to skip it before voting, depending on how you feel about post-jam patches.

This feels a lot like Angband. I am therefore extremely prejudiced and think this is one of the greatest installments in the ludumverse. You could, however, have provided the other players (who are not fortunate enough to be familiarized with Angband-type games) with a list of controls (pick up item, inventory, etc).

Pretty fun to play! Controls were a bit difficult to figure out since I have no experience in playing this sort of game. Didn't get too far down the levels in the first few playthroughs, but will be playing it again to see how varied the possession targets get.

...Also made it a point to possess and repossess creatures just to see the Zombie Zombie Zombie Zombie Zombie Zombie Zombie show up on the screen. Might be interesting to have that as a feature where repossessing zombies multiple times creates an accidental Lich Lord. Or something.
