Possessed

"At long last, a vessel! I was getting sick of waiting. Now, how did having legs work again...?"

In Possessed, you play as an evil spirit trying to escape the dungeon using the bodies of disposable adventurers. Navigate your way through spikes, pitfalls and puzzles before your unfortunate vessels kick the bucket!

This puzzle platformer relies on your ability to use each of the three character classes' abilities to your advantage. Choosing when, where and in which order you use the characters available to you is the key to success, but there's a twist: once you possess one, they only have seconds to live! Don't worry, though -- the countdown doesn't start until you move for the first time in each level, so you can get a good look at what you're working with. Passing by an idle character marks them as your next target, so you'll have a new vessel waiting when your current one dies.

This game was made as our own jam project during the course of a few weeks. It features 3 character classes to possess and 4 worlds with 6 stages each for a total of 24 challenges. Each world has its own theme song, which adapts according to the controlled character.
