Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
I am really impressed that you were able to create everything that you did, in Unreal Engine, as a first time solo dev! Mad props to you! I've worked quite a bit in UE5, and getting that to work, and then successfully 'building' it as an HTML5 is wicked. Nice job!
There are some clear bugs, even beyond the ones you mentioned with the animations, lighting...etc.
When I possessed the red enemy and fired his 'fireball?' It always went backwards, and I never saw it do damage to any enemies. It would just sit in the air in place faced in the wrong direction.
Additionally, I think it is probably a bug that the enemies don't attack you while you're possessing one of their own. Unless that was intended.
There is also a bug where after you finish possessing the blue enemy, your slug mucus attack has the sound effects of the blue enemy attack.
The sound and music were well-implemented otherwise.
The game fit the theme of 'you are the weapon.'
The GDD is a bit sparse, I would love to see a Development Timeline that allows us to see what you wanted to accomplish, what you finished, and what you had to scrap for other priorities.
It seemed you had a lot of issues uploading this game, and maybe even in development, but I want to encourage you that you did a great job as a first time solo dev! This is a great offering to this Game Jam, even for a team of 2-3! Trust me, I've seen 40+ of these games already, you should be proud!

Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes
Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes
Summarise your game!
Play as a slug who can fling himself at enemies and use their own guns to take down... other enemies! They Spawn it waves so fling yourself into enemies to heal a little or more depending on the strength of the enemy.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Doug is a living weapon as he can possess the weapons of his enemies and turn them against their own faction. Also yes the title is a pun because slug, gun slug, bullets can be called slugs haha... ha. haaaaa....
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
HTML5 did not like my models so I had to replace them with static t-poses, and itch.io does not like unreal engine's web building ui so that's what broke my ui. Please press the fullscreen button inside the embed to make it scale better.
