Demon Vessel by drilltail

[raw]
made by drilltail for LD33 (JAM)
(If you are playing the embedded version, use full screen mode. If your resolution height is under 768 pixels, you'll also need to run the Unity plug-in itself in full screen.)


A platformer featuring a witch that takes on the forms of defeated spirits.

You may run into a bug or two. ...or, actually, you may run into a stampeding horde of them. If something crazy happens, you can press R to restart at the last checkpoint.

If you run the executable, make sure you pick 1024x768 resolution.

Controls (listed in game, so don't worry):
Left/Right: Move
Z or Up: Jump
X: Action (depends on your current form)
C: Switch form (press when near a fallen orb)

Tools:
- Unity (Programming/engine)
- Visual Studio 2013 (Programming)
- GraphicsGale (Artwork)
- Adobe Photoshop (Artwork)
- FL Studio (Music)
- Audacity (Music)

Not the most monstrous game, but loved the different abilities and having to use the right one for the right situation, not just combat.

Controls are a bit cramped on the left side of the keyboard. I saw that you get different abilities as time goes on, but spacing them could help!

Really liked it! I liked the way the boss required you to use the all of the different abilities. Not sure if it was intentional or not but the attacking while jumping with the cat ability slows your jump, which I thought worked in the game's favor, adding more of a sense of agility. Great work!

That was rad as hell. Great use of the mechanics and introducing them. Was satisfying to figure out how to beat the barrier enemies and get past the fireballs. Cool bossfight and music too. Great job.

The ability change feature sure hits my spot! Nice artwork, but is the animation a bit fuzzy? If the controls can be improved and the players got more health, I'll say it'll be awesome!

The game was quite cool, liked the final boss fight, though it wasn't that hard with possibility to switch to shield mode at any time

I liked all the sprites and different abilities. With a bit more development it could turn into a nice little platformer. The music didn't quite sit right with the game in my opinion, it was a pretty cool track though!

Interesting design with different "playable characters" and switching between them on the fly. Encountered only a few bugs, but nothing gamebreaking. Sprites looked nice but the environment was a little plain.

Interesting concept! I really enjoyed changing the powers of demons!
Really enjoyed the graphics and audio too! It's so cute~ xp
I just think that it's not very strong with the theme. It was a bit weird that when you jump attacked you immediately fall after the attack... Didn't spoil the action, but it was weird. Also at the first "big" battle, the camera was fixed at the "arena", but you are free to leave it, and then you would have to go back to it almost blindly (if you jump you may see where you are). But these are just details.
Anyway, great job!
