My high score is 102 seconds! You have to get used to the controls, but once you did you really get in the zone. The cool downs of the actions needs to be better communicated though. They are shown in the corner, but you don't really see them while playing. But overall really cool entry!

Original idea. I didn't find the controls intuitive, though. Maybe we could choose the side of the hands with left-right arrow keys and use up (or down) key to use the both hands?

yup, bit hard to control but certainly havent seen similar games : D

Great mood and the choice of the graphics style. Like OadT mentioned above, it took me a little while to get used to controls, but once you do, they are not an issue. Pretty unforgiving though, the could have few extra "lives." :)

The atmosphere was awesome the music and the graphics together gave me a haunted mansion like vibe! I got to 70 seconds and was really in the zone great game!

Cool, original idea. Gets quite difficult really quick, but maybe I just suck xD Had fun!

The gameplay loop is surprisingly fun and kept me engaged. I think you did a great job with this little game!

Wow, the mechanic of this game feels very unusual and addictive, great work. A think that the mechanic itself deserves a realisation in the standalone game.

This is amazing! The learning curve is a bit steep at the beginning, but once you get a hang of it, it's tons of fun and I love games with that sort of design!

Managed to score 63 seconds, which is probably not that impressive, but every single second of that time was intense as hell!

Loving this one, good work!

Can't say I've ever played a game like this before, haha! Well done, great art, and the hands were drawn well. I would love to read some lore/backstory of what's going on. Very intriguing!

Really cool and fun idea. I liked the challenge of it. The only thing I would say to change is to make it more obvious which is the temporary second hand. I would sometimes forget and have it disappear as it was about to block something. Maybe by including a timer near the second hand so you know which is temporary and how long until it is gone. Either way, very good submission! Great job!
