Soul Switcher

This game was created for the Brackeys 2023.1 game jam, the theme was "An end is a new beginning". 

Game concept:

Every time you defeat an enemy, you switch souls with them, taking on their abilities, weapons and weaknesses.
The game contains a tutorial and 15 levels, all of the code was written by me, some of the pixel art is sourced from external sources:

- Character
- Spikes and other traps

All sounds were generated using bfxr, music is not mine: Computer's Abyss by Rob0ne

It is recommended to download the game, if you want to achieve better framerate.

Note: The game is not easy and can be very frustrating

Great game. I love strategy games like these; I don't know if this concept is fully original, but I've never seen it before, and it's amazing. I believe level 15 was the most difficult and time-consuming to complete, and the rest were relatively easy in comparison for me. I overall enjoyed it, but it can definitely be a pain at some parts.

The idea is amazing, the animations and sprites look crisp. The controls are a bit too sensitive in my opinion, especially since the spaces are so cramped and dangerous. Splendid work.

For all the people that complain about that it's too hard, I was the person said the developer to make it harder.

The amazing level 12 was my idea, to make anyone angry, which is litterly the mission of this game.
