Switching Personalities by Anonymus Raccoon

[raw]
made by Anonymus Raccoon for LD 43 (JAM)

This release has been made 37 hours after the theme reveal.

This is a platformer game where you have 7 personalities and each personalities have its own power. You are in the cloud kingdom and one day, you will know the hidden part of this kingdom: the god of this world want to eat personalities. In order to satisfy him, you will give im one of your personalities.

We didn't have time to finish the game but the goal was to make the player learn all this mecanics and remove them from the player one by one so he should start learing deep tricks with one personality that could replace what he lost. In this version, you will only lose one personality and one is already disabled at the beginning.

CONTROLLER RECOMMANDED

Controls: - WASD (or joystick) - Move - Space - Jump - Shift (or Y) - Open the personality switch menu (navigate in it with your mouse or with the joystick, close it by releasing the key) - CTRL (or X) - Use your personality activable power (when it has one) - Enter (or B) - Read signs

I like the idea of the powers 🙂. But I don't know what to do after I sacrifice one power 😖. This game needs more coherence. Even so, it ties together a lot of mechanics inside one game. Thanks for answering the thing about the controller. But I don't enjoy using shift, control and enter 😟

The B, Y and X keys are for controllers. The keyboard keys are enter, CTRL and Shift. We could'd finish the game in time so it's normal that you don't know what to do after the sacrifice. Thanks for the feedback!

Couldn't play the game :-(

I use Windows 8.1 on a ROG laptop. 7zip tells me the archive is corrupted.

If you tried to open the game without decompressing the archive, please try to decompress it and if you didn't, maybe use another zip application? It's working fine on my computer.

The game may need more polishment or just focus on few aspects. I would have preferred a better graphics quality without sound, or a better physics: it's not just unpleasant, it made me stuck for a while along the level (some clouds were overlapping and were invisibles, weird).
After the whole effort to create the mechanics, seems that not much effort was spent on the level design. Also I don't how the jam theme is fitting... sorry

The idea of personalities may work, but the level design is very incoherent and it has a lot of bugs. Maybe you dreamed too big :)
