The Two Scoops do it again! This game is fantastic. Dragging around all those arms is a blast. The game is fun whether I'm doing poorly, or progressing along nicely. This has so much potential, and hopefully you all continue working on this one. I feel like this could be one of those "you know PullPals started as a ludumDare game, and now look at it" stories.
Stellar job. :baby::baby::baby::baby::baby:
Fun game, want more levels now. The stretching mechanic was done well. I had trouble clicking the hands/feet to move and sometimes getting them to stay attached, but overall a great game
Very good game! Please do more levels! It reminds me the Cut the Rope game. Well done!
Great game! Would love to see it on mobile
A lot of potential here. A very solid concept and fantastic execution. Procedural level generation, for the sake of replayability, would be an ideal way to "finish" this game if you didn't want to work on it much more beyond Ludum Dare, but I encourage you to keep developing it!
Adorable sounds and interesting mechanics
Cutesy game theme, with lovely sound effects. I'm not quite convinced that it fits the theme well, but regardless it's a good game.
Very interesting. Nice job
I really loved how the character moved as you dragged limbs around, it felt great. I also loved that you could just add as many arms as you wanted :D I love the design and the music fit really well too! Great job!
this was a pretty fun game, i would like to see where you go with this :D
Fun game! Reminds me of Snipperclips a bit. I was able to drag the character around with only one arm so look into that. Cool otherwise.
Really neat idea. Would love to see this on mobile with more levels and challenges.
Nice game, the chara design and the sounds it are just *cking cute ! I would love to see more levels of this!
YOU GUYS CAN'T KNOW ABOUT MY ONE ARM WILLY TACTIC!!!
This is an all-around great game. It's difficult, but not in a way that is unplayable. I love the audio. It compliments the look. I feel like anyone any age could enjoy this. This is unique, well crafted and innovative. Excellent job!
I really love this game. It is indeed difficult but the cute graphics and audio really help me keep my patience. This is connected to the theme implicitly. This is the overall a phenomenal game, simple but really innovative. This is a strong contender for the fun category. Will definitely play this game again. One suggestion is maybe to include instructions in the game (though it is really easy to figure out how to control the character)
The theme doesn't click straight out but the concept and physics of things is fun right away- grabbin' the arms/legs gets a lil weird at times and the kid voiceover/sounds took a sec to get used to... never thought I'd puzzle rock climb this jam, nice work.
Hey fellow jammers, thanks so much for playing and rating PullPals! We have had a ton of great feedback and the Two Scoop Games team is going to continue working on this game post-jam!
We have been tossing around lots of ideas for fun new features, more challenging puzzles, and multiple unique monster pals to keep you company!

Audio work is great.
Gameplay is fun.
Artwork is cute.
I like the mechanic, I was able to cheese it a little by dragging one hand and skimming over the shapes to quickly skip over areas. But that's something that you can easily fix, not worth worrying about in a game jam.
A very complete feeling game.
One of my favourite games in this LD:) Change menu for just clicking in lvl and will ve perfect:D
The audio is pretty nice, and the character artwork is very cute. The music is solid and pleasant to listen to.
I don't quite understand the finer points of the game play, so I didn't progress very far, sadly. I thought I have to bring my monster into one of the three dotted shapes? Sadly, either it required you to be ultra precise, or I keep spawning too many arms and my monster is too lopsided for it to register.
Very interesting concept, though!
First of all, thank you for rating our game on stream! Second of all, what a fun little gem this is! I had quite a bit of fun playing it!
The art works perfectly with the game theme! The music is a bit repetitive, but the sound the monster does is pretty cute.
On things you can improve:
- Have a normal game menu. Your idea is cool, but in this type of games people just wanna go from one level to another non stop, and having to control your character to do that is a bit annoying - More levels with interesting gimmicks. The initial concept is pretty fun! But if you decide to take this game and publish it, there has to be more to the game than just pulling and creating new arms! (But I'm sure you thought about this as well!) - Increase the range of connection with the points. This is my main criticism, it felt like you had to be way too precise to get to the points and was frustrating at times.
All in all, a pretty fun game!
Pretty cool game! I could definitely see this being good for mobile. The art and music were both very nice. Sometimes it was kind of hard to attach the arms, because the camera was moving too fast. Also I'm not sure it really goes along with the theme. Overall really good though!
Love this game! A couple more tweaks and you are mobile ready!
I love it when I touch my pal's tummy and it says "football butt"!
This was a pretty cool game. The look and the audio are really cute and bubbly. That said, I can't see where it fits in the theme.
It started really fun however I did figure I could cheat by detaching the pal's hands and dragging one of his hands and just fly him over to the end. It was kinda tricky to get the hands to attach because I would drag them there, they locked and then quickly unlocked if I didn't release my mouse fast enough. I kept missing the attaching points because the hand would quickly dettach and keep moving with the camera. It got a little bit frustrating.
The physics are interesting and a great job.
Overall was a charming entry and with some improvements and more levels you will have a game to release. Congratulations :)
That was really fun and very different! I really appreciate such an original idea. The gameplay was simple and fun, the graphics were good where it matters, and the audio was excellent. I think it slightly missed the theme, but that's the only real criticism I have.
Challenging cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_cfsd64xFk
