hehe nice idea to plug stuff to the players body :D

gilmore606 2013-04-29 22:18

WOW! That is a LOT of really nice quality content for a 48 hour game. And fun! And the stick-parts-to-yourself mechanic is creepy cool. Fantastic work.

lioneljitro 2013-04-29 22:19

Really fun little game.

Love the mood of it and the mechanic of attaching parts to your body.

loren 2013-04-29 22:22

crazy fun, great audio and design :)

preordercancelled 2013-04-29 22:24

Excellent little game - I like the upgrade idea.

lzantal 2013-04-29 22:24

Wow very nice detailed graphics, some places overly detailed lol. Great job!!

2013-04-29 22:26

Super awesome game, and extremely good art :)

theomnis 2013-04-29 22:28

Best title screen of the compo :)

ataxkt 2013-04-29 22:36

Doesn't feel very minimal, even after reading your explaination, but it makes up for it in fun!

McFunkypants 2013-04-29 22:38

Awesome work! I really love the "stick limbs to yourself" mechanic. Not "minimalism" themed in the slightest, but damn good game and that's what counts. Original! Fun! Great art!

ilo 2013-04-29 23:16

Wow. :D

Amazing art, and solid, fun mechanics. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you!

rmatey 2013-04-29 23:18

Haha love the wacky nature of this game. Fun challenge and liked the attaching of severed limbs onto my man baby even if it hindered the play.

bleating 2013-04-29 23:42

I'll agree that it doesn't feel very minimalistic, but the upgrading mechanics and the tongue-in-cheek humour of it are outstanding.

sayaer 2013-04-30 00:14

Oh man this blew me away, as always great art, and the game-play was certainly unique!

saampahlavan 2013-04-30 00:34

This is pretty rad

goulding57 2013-04-30 00:35

Well done. I loved the mechanic of sticking severed limbs to my character.

juniorus 2013-04-30 00:59

Really awesome graphics!!
The gameplay is classic but still fun.

janmavzla 2013-04-30 01:01

Does it really end? D: Awesome work anyways!

tony-pe 2013-04-30 01:05

Aaaaaaaa this is awesome

liannethy 2013-04-30 01:09

Yes there is a last boss and an ending, however it's a bit difficult. The end boss is definitely worth it though. Thank you all for the lovely comments :)

cataclysmicknight 2013-04-30 02:03

limb/head/wing/etc part collecting was far too funny and awesome and genius! Had lots of fun with it :D

kgs0142 2013-04-30 02:34

Pretty fun to enhance by enhance from enemy's corpse :D
Good job!

dremelofdeath 2013-04-30 06:04

I really like the idea of attaching body parts to make yourself stronger. Very gruesome and great mood. The graphics are really, really good.

markusn 2013-04-30 06:15

excellent work! love the art style!

dr_soda 2013-04-30 06:29

Definitely a fun entry, though it's a bit difficult to play with a trackpad. Some days I miss the mouse.

From a gameplay perspective, I liked collecting the body parts and sticking them to my character but I wasn't sure how it really was intended to give him power-ups. It was *useful* that time slowed down when an item was stuck to my cursor, but I really felt like I wanted to still be able to attack while I was trying to get an item. Because the "sticking" mechanic feels very exacting, it was a bit difficult to actually get those parts on!

Not really minimalist, but you probably knew that. :)

lightnarcissus 2013-04-30 06:42

That is an impressive game to build (particularly the art) in 48/72 hours and the mechanics are quite cool too.

edocentrique 2013-04-30 07:11

It's incredibly fun ! I wonder how you got the name of your game ... :) good job !

liannethy 2013-04-30 07:26

The title is a reference to: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405159/?ref_=sr_2 :)

Also re: Minimalism -
The thing is this was my very first Ludum Dare, and as an artist I was really kinda disappointed that minimalism was put out to be my first theme to tackle. I felt it would be a waste of my ability if I went the route of squares and simple shapes, so we tried to go a different route so that I could still have fun creating something. George is a Flash programmer, so we couldn't do something with 3D space, it had to be 2D and striking.

Personally I think the gameplay mechanics are still quite minimal, basically attacking and customising is carried out via one click, and the game takes place in one area. Perhaps the window dressing of the game makes it appear a lot more complex than it is? In reality it was a very quick project and we finished quite ahead of schedule :)

bloatedhippo 2013-04-30 09:31

Fantastic! It encapsulates the BDSM and slave vibe very well. I would know.

liannethy 2013-04-30 10:27

hahahhhaha <3 ^^^

pixelbear 2013-04-30 16:30

I'm glad everyone's enjoying the game! I'll have a timelapse of my weekend done soon. :)

nusan 2013-04-30 17:30

Really fun, and "cute gore". It's a bit hard to add part to your body during the fight, but it make it more tense.

oye-beto 2013-05-01 00:46

I enjoyed playing it. It's very polished and fun.

- The music is good but the audio quality is too low.
- I like the cartoon style. Looks like a mix of Mucha lucha and Binding of Isaac xD
- I also liked attaching limbs to my character.
- No minimalism at all.
- The nearest layer on the parallax interferes too much at the right side of the screen.
- Damn Sully! he keeps killing me! (I know it's not Sully)

meta87 2013-05-01 03:30

Love the art and ideas you come up with here! Very well realized for 48 hrs of work

captainkraft 2013-05-01 04:17

Hahahaha, that might be the funniest game yet. Creepy... but funny

pixelbear 2013-05-01 06:23

@Oye Beto - About the music. I unfortunately had to compress it down, as it took the game file above 10MB, and most Flash hosts don't like games above that limit. :)

shugor 2013-05-01 07:55

Very nice game! Love the body parts mechanism, can't have too many heads :D

jyrkface 2013-05-01 09:49

Game mechanic is super original and awesome, and keeps the game interesting even though the combat can get a bit repetitive. Art is fantastic, especially considering the time limitations. Very polished entry!

uhfgood 2013-05-01 20:53

Well that was kind of gross and weird.

stmatn 2013-05-01 21:02

Wow, nice entry. The graphics are really great and the music is nice too. I like the attachment-mechanic^^ Great game!

megabrutal 2013-05-02 05:42

Really nice game! Good idea, amazing graphics, and it really has a mood. I especially liked the background - pony, catwoman, LOL. Who was Felicia?

I couldn't beat the blue koala boss thingie - would require more trying.

The only problem with this game is that it isn't minimalist at all - I did read how you interpreted minimalism for your entry, but... come on! :D

This is the first game where I could rate in all categories - no "n/a". :)

Overall: 5; Innovation: 3; Fun: 4; Theme: 1; Graphics: 5; Audio: 5; Humor: 5; Mood: 5.

jellycakes 2013-05-02 22:03

That was amazing. Really nice mechanic and hilarious to just stack heads on top of yourself. Really well made nice job!

minionstudios 2013-05-06 04:19

what did I just play? WHAT WAS THAT THING? aaaaaaahhh I love IT

tankete 2013-05-08 03:10

Great looking game! Unique mechanic. Fun!

grambler1 2013-05-12 12:24

Super awesome graphics. Also <3 AJ

kidevil 2013-05-16 00:52

Ah! Loved sticking the scraps to the manbaby:)great graphics...would have liked to see the attack a bit more responsive, but fun game otherwise :)

puzzlem00n 2013-05-16 20:13

I kept dying immediately after killing the Yeti. Fun game. Although you should know that when I clicked to retry the fourth time, I couldn't pick up any limbs on this fourth play.

The attacking definitely isn't perfect, but it's a marvel that you finished the limb mechanic in 72 hours. Awesome.
