1:29.6 seconds :sunglasses:. Super fun game, took me a few times of suicide-scouting to get a valid path to the goal.

Small overlapping issue with the victory screen text I found as well, nothing major though:

Really interesting game! It's full of challenges and fun. It’s definitely not easy to consistently find a head to jump on every time

I really like the idea and how the game looks and feels but it was really hard to get the hang of the controls and most of the tries ended after a few jumps.

Really cool idea! I think the quick restart is just perfect. Nice populated with sound as well and a lot of moving heads to jump on. I love how all the possessable character tells small stories on their own. It feels a bit like a flash hitman game.

I found it very hard! I think that the controls were too left hand heavy. It was really hard for me to bite, stop biting and then aiming to were I wanted and then jump, especially since a lot of jump were so tight. I think I would have liked if the timer stopped after you let go, but then if you don't jump in say two second, you die. So no matter how long you've moved you still get an honest chance to turn and jump. I also in general think its good to have wasd + mouse when possible. So maybe right click to possess and left click to jump (arguably space to jump is better though).

Anyways I really liked the idea and I really wanted to get the hang of it :)

I think this idea is great! It could definitely be expanded into more levels.

Is there only the first level right now? After I finished, it seemed to end, and I didn’t see the lawn area shown in the preview.

I feel like having a final destination arrow would improve the sense of direction a lot! (Yes, I got sent up by a random NPC at the beginning and suddenly died, haha ^_^)

Original idea, cool music and sound effects. I just had trouble playing but maybe because I'm just bad
