- Even after reading all the details wasn't sure if what i was doing was correct (as i understood it: it was about matching body parts that have less health in the enemy side so you don't lose that "member" on your player) - Some sound or music would be welcome (to get some feedback on doing good / bad for example) - Consider adding the objectives somewhere in-game to allow players to consult the rules as they're playing - Maybe adding a short tutorial on how to play - Investigate adding more concise wording to better detail the usage of the mechanics (e.g. absorb vs consume isn't very clear at first sight)

Interesting theme and quite different from most games in this jam.

Really unique idea here! The targeted combat reminds me a bit of old school Fallout 1 and 2. I think this could be expanded into a really fun game if you eventually add more enemy types, and maybe even some robots or something that has other types of limbs/tails/wings that can be grafted onto your own body. My game seemed to crash when I died, but I didn't mind reloading the page and playing through a few more times. The base game is complex enough that it was great you were able to finish it in one weekend, and then the art and environment/character animation in addition to that is impressive! Nice work on this :)
