Submission for GMTK Game Jam 2023 "Roles Reversed"
Made by sock8416, c4glenn, and varshir.

Philip the Phantasmal sPecter has lived in his family's house for generations. Over time, the house has become corrupted by the untold horrors that have taken place within it. The specters of the dead have begun to pile up, and Philip is now tasked with clearing his once-quiet home.

To do this, Philip will need to use his powers to possess the local dark wizards. These wizards are capable of absorbing specters, and the stronger the wizard, the easier it is to absorb other specters. As Philip possesses more wizards and absorbs other specters, his own power will grow.

Controls: Press P as a specter to possess wizards of a lower or equal level. Press space as a wizard to absorb other specters. WASD for movement. Wall Jump your way across the map.

With your help, Philip can clear his home and restore it to its former quiet ruin. But be careful, the ghosts are not to be trifled with. They are powerful and vengeful, and they will not hesitate to attack you.

Good luck, players, and may Philip's reign continue for generations to come.

Great art and story!

Thanks!

Thanks to you, I was able to become a level 200 ghost boss. This was simple but very addictive and fun.

Lol glad you enjoyed it!

It was pretty fun, but i dont know if its supposed to be that way but i couldnt find any hunters over level 5

There are a couple that spawn on the edges of the map. Thanks for playing!

Feeding frenzy but for ghosts. I like the art quite a bit, but the platforming is really hard to control. It kinda feels like the whole game was built with ice physics. Can't wait to see what you build next!

Thanks for checking it out!
