RIP headphone users
The atmosphere's nice tho, but gameplay is a bit clunky.

Yeah the screaming sound is clipping badly. The parts are really hard to hover over, especially when you're moving. Neat atmosphere.
Also, works on Linux (Ubuntu 19.04), just had to check "Allow executing file as program".
This game has a lot of potential. The audio is far too loud though and trying to grab the limbs is hard to do at times. If all the limbs do the same damage etc then maybe increase the hitbox to a central area that takes one at random to throw? It'd make for better gameplay too because it'll help a lot in those pinch situations.
The absorption of additional limbs is quite cool. For some reason it reminds me of Abe's Oddysee!
Edited description to add that if you click and drag from your body, it will throw a random limb.
I played this game on stream.... but I didn't realize until now that for some reason the game was dropping frames? I didn't have this problem with any other games, so I'm not sure why this happened.
Hopefully my audio reaction and feedback can still be helpful... you can get a link to the VOD at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14MpruNv7RN4pVCr4go77VXJuePogxHuI9intx5phEqk/edit?usp=sharing
Played this because of Elysia's stream! :slight_smile: I like the game mechanics. At one point I felt like I was actually shooting with a bow, but I had fun catching the limbs around him. And having fun is all that matters when it comes to playing games. :smiley: Nice job!
