Really fantastic game. Controls felt good, it was just the right amount of challenge, and dying was hilarious. I like how there is a little bit of forgiveness when hitting obstacles via the dismemberment system.
I loved it, really great work!
The art is so cool and the lil butt crack was hilarious. The mechanic of needing to speed up to fill the meter so you can slow down is a great idea and adds an extra layer to the gameplay.

I only made it about half way through, but I like that the game wasn't easy and you provided a playthrough video to see the end! Nice damage display and speed up/down mechanic! This seemed really solid and I'm not sure what I'd change.
Extremely good game, surprised it does not have more views ! My only complaint is that it's not always easy to see what's coming. But really a fun experience. The game feel is excellent, even dying is fun in your game !

BLOOD!! That pixel dot in the end is really fun!! The scene levels are really interesting.
The difficulty is just right for me(I tried three times).
Suggest: use keyboard to reset the game instead of click.
Really Fun !!! :smile_cat:

This game is a 5/5 on all ratings for me. Really fun, hilarious, looks great, love the music, and it's so engaging and brilliant. You should be proud. If I could change one thing it would be maybe checkpoints. I'm aware it's a small game and I'm just bad, but if you develop this further, perhaps checkpoints could be something you could look into.
Fantastic! I think just put a score and best score and this are perfect! Really nice job!

Really juicy really fun. My only suggestions would be to make the player be semi transparent, it could be hard to tell if your above something, or at least have it be an option. The second would be a progress bar so I could now how far I was while playing. Again tho this entry was super polished, pretty, and fun, and above all the death sequence made me laugh! Great work

I can't tell if the music is the coolest thing, the butt crack, the limbs or the applaud yourselves button. Either way this is exactly what I was hoping to see this jam.
Really fun i love the physics and demembrate the character, the game is challenging at the beginning is simple after the block start to move it's not the same thing ! Just a suggestion why the restart is on the mouse and not on the keyboard (the game is playable only with the keyboard), and the music is too repetitive. Despite that this game is great ! notoday.jpg *it’s not all the days i can continue to play without legs*
This is the first entry that made me laugh :D
I think the limbs getting dismembered is the best thing I have seen so far in this game-jam, I have no idea how you came up with this idea; but I love the fact that you did!

Haha! The Drums! Nice little gem. Actually had a similar idea with the falling from this perspective :)

Really fun! The perspective makes it pretty dang hard tho
Sound design and art are just top notch! Really fun game) Strange, but I liked it too much intentionally crashing into different corners :D
This was hilarious! Staring at that butt every time I restarted made me laugh every time. It's a really challenging game, too. Makes me want to come back and go deeper!
