We would love feedback on balance, as things get pretty hectic right now.
The take over mechanic was really fun and well done with the slow motion effect. After the credits, the game started stuttering but then resumed shortly after. After 3 minutes of play, it stuttered again and froze. From what I did play though, it was fun and fast paced! (and the beginning music was great!)
that was quite fun to play! often times i found myself just running and hiding until the next switch, but the gameplay was still pretty exciting. it did crash not too long into the game though.
i love the concept!! the gameplay is also really fun, it does feel a bit difficult and i feel like shooting isn't always straightforward (but i definitely could have missed something), but i definitely think this has a lot of potential to be something super dope!
I enjoyed the mechanics, generally, though I had a hard time understanding which things each type of body could do. It was sometimes tricky to get the body swap to happen the way I wanted.
The good news is that I wanted to play again, the bad news is that the play again button didn't seem to work.
I'm not sure I understood the connection to the theme.
I'm having some issues with the game freezing and crashing, but this is otherwise a fantastic game! It's fast, hectic, and has plenty of different characters to control, and the art is gorgeous. Very well done.
Great game! I loved the mechanics where you can control the enemies. I kept losing my cursor though, If I may give a suggestion I'd recommend changing the cursor color or shape to be more distinctive with the background. Otherwise I enjoyed it!
Maaaan! It's a real shame it kept crashing on me, cause I really enjoyed this one! Super simple, but engaging core gameplay. And that sound when you're picking your next host, NICE.
It starts way too fast though, like I had no idea what was going on and suddenly I'm getting ganked by flammenwerfers and noodle ghosts! Give the player a little breathing room at the start to figure the game out.
Love the presentation, great art and sound! It's a great concept that could be worked on further to make a pretty great game, in a roguelike style perhaps. You already have a nice variety of enemies and it plays well already. Good job :D

Nice job!
little suggestion here is not to have story for a 3 days jam
then hopefully results in more content

Overall, very nice, but very unstable.
