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!)

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.

Thanks y'all!! :)

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

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.

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.

Amazing. Everything fits perfectly together.
Nesferjo19 Apr 2016, 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.

Cool idea!

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!
Allthebees19 Apr 2016, 18:23
Gah! This is fantastic, I love pretty much everything about it. My only problem is that I want to play more!

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.

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

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!

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!
Solifuge21 Apr 2016, 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_nolimit21 Apr 2016, 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!! :)
bytegrove21 Apr 2016, 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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?
S0rax3 May 2016, 11:08
Funny game, graphics and sounds are cool and the history is nice :)

Alphish3 May 2016, 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.

Hard to believe this is a LD entry ! High integrated in my opinion ~
domrein6 May 2016, 01:50
Loved it. Would love to see a complete version.
avinashd6 May 2016, 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?

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
EvanEGibbs8 May 2016, 23:21

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 :-)
