And I liked the "herp derp" english for the comedic value. I understand the time was tight, but I didn't even remember I had special powers until after I beat the game, plus they weren't all that useful when I finally tried them out.\r\rMaybe making something you can't beat as a human would also give some meaning to your shapeshifting?\r\rFinally, the music was good, but a tad too short, and the loop too evident. Try adding some sound effects too!\r\rGood work!"},{"author_name":"Remdiky","author_uid":"85681","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 6:10am","epoch":1461045900,"text":"I Like this sword!

Some constructive feedback: The sword swinging animation was great, but the shield blocking one could use some work. -- I really liked the pixel art levels, it looks like you made them in paint brush (maybe you did, and if so, that's a pretty cool hack). -- Also the loop in the music would be fine for a short game's title sequence, but for actual game play, it loops too soon. -- I wish you could shape shift into other guys (like maybe the last one you killed or something -- esp. if the skeletons had a different "special" action). [I know time was short, you did a great job, this is just some constructive feedback, I hope it's helpful. :-)]"},{"author_name":"andyman404","author_uid":"45696","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 2:30am","epoch":1461119100,"text":"Awesome music, great pixel art. I was able to run through to the ending room without killing anyone though. I love the styling and feel of the game.

And there didn't seem to be much advantage to changing shape... and what's up with turning into one of the ghosts that I'm fighting? \r\rBut this is a good start. A little story, some sound effects, and it could be pretty good. Almost felt like I was playing an early build of Hyper Light Drifter :)"}],"images":["ld35\/91519-9186c388afb21d85f5c648a2a8281717.jpg","ld35\/91519-153223a1476be5c775a94c6dc06bc9e3.jpg","ld35\/91519-683cd1a912e06c0e6bc35ee4076a0090.jpg","ld35\/91519-05a08d8b88531b820ff73640488fda67.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/mandolinquinn.itch.io\/super-soul-sword","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"2302","g_author":"91519","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"2239","g_title":"Super Soul Sword","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"355","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/91519-shot1-1461094315.gif-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/91519-shot0-1461094370.gif-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/91519-shot2-1461046338.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/91519-shot3-1461046338.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You are the big tough guy of destiny!
