Basic survival game, where you are entity who cant surviva more than 10s in human body. He is always transfer (reincarnate) to new entity. Your goal is find gateway to your homeworld.
This is my first entry in LD. Game is not great, but I am really proud what I have done. Story writing and graphics are not my thing :)
I had a lot of fun with this one. I like how unlike so many other games I played an action happens in 10 seconds instead of the game being over.
I made my own game up about seeing how long I could survive without getting to the gate and without dying. I liked trying to see how many times I could jump into a new body.
Here is an idea for some story if you decide to keep working on this after the comp (October challenge hint hint)
You want to body swap to steel the memories and experiences of each person. which are a currency on your home world. The more you collect before leaving the more stuff you can buy or unlock.
Some intergalactic people are chasing you because what your doing is illegal.
Man I could keep running on about this game. it was great!
Cool game. Escalating difficulty or a second harder level would help but it was fun. I like the disorienting factor whenever you are reincarnated, it adds a little spice to the dodge the enemy type of game.
An interesting gameplay mechanic you could add would be having to switch bodies yourself. Like you shoot out a telepathic beam or something and the first person it hits is your new body. Then, like somebody else's idea, the goal could be to hit everybody at least once. As it is, however, the game is still pretty fun, and for somebody that claims graphics aren't their thing, the art looks pretty good.
It's an interesting idea but I didn't really understand what was happening at first. I thought I had to walk into people to reincarnate their bodies before the time ran out. Once I knew what was going on it made more sense but wasn't that challenging.
Simple yet very efficient. A little more animation would have been nice though, like arms moving or something. and the difficulty is a little too random : started within eyeshot of the end on my first attempt, but couldn't find it at all on the second. Great anyway !

tigerj: I have not planned to keep working on it, but your idea is really interesting. Now I am really thinking about continue to work on it. Thanks!
Great anyway !
I encountered a (probably unlikely) bug - after level 3 or so, the portal was unreachable in the water^^
