You are a ghost with ability to change your form to Skeleton-form and you also can possess people.
Controls:
W S A D + Spacebar (double jump) Rest is explained in the game.
!! You need Java 8 to run this game !!

I wanted to make much more in-game mechanics but unfortunately because of the time limit i wasn't able to. Anyway i'm going to expand on this concept and finish my game someday. Have fun playing Kibjow.
Language: Java Programs used: Eclipse, paint, paint.Net, FL Studio
I liked this game overall, the concept was innovative and the gameplay was fun for a while but got repetitive and after the tutorial you had to attempt to play with unbearable lag, it suited the theme perfectly and I really liked the simplistic art style as well as the menu with the popup text that would slowly type on screen (really cool effect), I LOVED the soundtrack and that really contributed to an excellent mood. Overall was really nice but suffered greatly due to lag.
Cool idea, but doesn't always play as well as I hoped. I got through the tutorial, but couldn't beat the next level. It was a very steep change of difficulty.
i liked the mood of it felt ghostly noir, controls had a little jank to them. did I miss a memo or something? This is the 3rd or 4th ghost possesses people game I have played
Did I miss something? The second level seems unbeatable. Whether or not I possess someone in the group of ghost detectors, the red wall comes and kills me.
I like where you're going with the mechanics though. There's just not enough content (at least, content which appears to be beatable).
About red wall/laser, you have to change your forms to escape it. In skeleton you run faster so use this form, but when you see a obstacle, change to ghost for a moment and when you get past it change back to skeleton. If you don't have much life left after passing ghost detectors, you can possess civilian and regenerate health.
first impression: Nice done with menu! its looks amazing, i love it =) Game mechanics also was created succesful, it was interesting to play, its the most important thing! Good job!

Nice work, characters look good and i really LOVED soundtrack. It really sync well with the main theme and the atmosphere.
Really great artworks and nice gameplay mechanic. Controls were a little odd (especially jumping) and I didn't work out how to avoid the wall of death on level 2 (but from the assets it looks like there is no level three). Would definitely like to see the mechanic fleshed out with more levels and puzzles.
Found the jumping in possessed and skeleton form a little awkward but really enjoyed the atmosphere and visuals. Great title menu too, simple but slick. Awesome stuff :D
Was fun. The music stopped playing after a while. I think it really could have benefited from the music looping. I rated the game as though the music looped, in case it was a glitch.

Good job!
The game gets really quiet after the music stops. Needs to loop, and also sound effects!
Nicely done, would like to see this developed further!
