Crazy enough idea. I like it. I found a home! Безымянный.png

That was...uh...interesting. Really enjoyed slamming Tex into the clouds with his dog headed butt.

Awesome game, managed to set the highscore of 142k :)

Very cool art, idea is on theme; this is a very nice game! I really liked the color effect at the edge of objects once the mutation level got up!

varundevs 2021-10-04 12:15

GG!! highscore of 12k

My end score was huge and I just can't stop laughing. This was hilariously fun! Well done!

Whatever horror I just experienced will stay with me in my psyche for decades to come. This game was absolutely hilarious and so creative. The art, music, and sound effects especially sold the experience. Loved the post processing effects to reflect the level of mutation. And 10/10 for the unreasonably large barn.

Awesome game!

Really, really, funny. Great job. :thumbsup:

I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but on my second playthrough I managed to jump into the clouds, then shoot so far to the right that I won the game with a high score of 141k. :laughing:

Funny topical intro text, a perfect amount of context for the game.

The artwork is really serene in this game, the colors work well with the backgrounds. Also the filter that happens as you get more mutated works well as the garish colors contrast so well.

Great percussion sounds in the soundtrack and when hitting objects.

Very psychedelic works, I like them very much. Especially birds. It's the perfect bird

candlebird 2021-10-07 03:02

Seriously chaotic, horrific and wonderful all at the same time! Love the music and the subtle (and not so subtle) comedy is perfect! Great job on this one!

itzemii 2021-10-07 15:16

Crazy, chaotic, unstable, still somehow controllable. A lot of fun. Great idea! And nicely implemented. I enjoyed it a lot.

guntrip 2021-10-07 16:49

Haha! What a wonderful idea and executed with utter chaos! That was lots of fun!

mathiouza 2021-10-08 01:23

Woah... Uh... Hard mode is quite disgusting x) The music was so disturbing x) So I guess this is a great work ahah x)

The concept is fun, the ragdolls fun to see becoming chaotic and the music is well done. The mood is definitely a strong point of the game.

The game in itself is a little bit too chaotic. The controls not very much responsive. I felt like I wasn't controlling anything in fact x)

All in all, pretty solid entry!

Very Cyriak, It was a little difficult control, but I'm pretty sure that was the point!

Absolutely unhinged, best take on the theme I've seen so far. I ran into some animals, flew into the clouds and just scrambled around some giant cloud hitboxes all the way to the finish line, so I would say this game is a success. Very polished as well!

spudboy 2021-10-08 05:43

This was hilarious. Really good use on the theme haha. The gameplay it self is nothing to write home about, but everything else here is great. I wish the camera followed you better when you get going really fast.

lesinvisible 2021-10-10 21:24

This game is crazy in the best possible way! The concept seemed very fresh and I liked the graphics you made. The only issue for me was a slightly weird camera behaviour.

bqq 2021-10-14 21:27

Hah what a game, good chaotic fun :D I noticed that you can drag the "Mutation Level" slider in-game, could probably disable the interaction on that if that's not intended. Music fits nicely as well!

crefossus 2021-10-16 01:41

Great job. loved the writing, music, and art - especially when the mutation gets high. The character gets a little too far to the right of the camera when going fast (which is the most fun).

jk5000 2021-10-18 08:01

Weird

teto 2021-10-19 21:19

Can't tell if I'm more disturbed by the game or the fact that I enjoyed the disturbing game...

Really great fun forming the abomination and seeing all his pieces fly about! Love the writing too! The almost children's book graphics and tinkly music with the whole barnyard animal vibe contrasted really well with the weird mutations. Can't quite describe the atmosphere you created but you nailed it whatever it was! Charlie the unicorn vibes...

The only issues I had were, like someone said before, the slightly strange camera which wasn't ever quite zoomed to the desired level and it was quite hard to control to try and aim for the animals I wanted although that still worked for the chaotic vibe.

Overall, really enjoyable, chill game!

Edit: I didn't realise this was a compo entry... mind blown...

charles-viau 2021-10-20 03:42

haha wtf did i just play XD , great job you created an abomination!

shakedimus 2021-10-20 08:21

Hahahaha really funny game and it al fit together so well. The beginning and and screen texts are funny , the way the physics works is just goofy enough and the changing music is such a nice touch. For the type of game that it is this is really good. It was also nice to go for different goals: high scores and then als go for crazy mutations. I am quite impressed btw with how you handled the physics when combining animals, you could float when you had some bird in you , jump high with a frog, ... Pretty amazing that you did this in the compo. I wouldn't now how to expand this game but is great just for what it is. Good job!

barrier 2021-10-20 08:35

This is a crazy game :) The idea is interesting, the art and audio are pretty good. The gameplay is a bit too easy maybe? I just flew up in the sky and to the right and won easily on any difficulty.

karin-g 2021-10-20 11:07

Hahaha this was a nice twist of the theme XD Really liked it!

ardorugus 2021-10-20 15:38

Did I just have an orgy? Very un-f-stable and weird to control, but one hell of a horse roller coaster!

misfire-dev 2021-10-21 09:37

fun short game, I enjoyed soaring through the sky like a graceful eagle :) really well written as well.
