That was a really cute pico8 game! I loved the opening, and how each part improves your character. It was really short, but really sweet.
My only suggestion would be: since you can't lose the game, maybe add a timer so that people can how how fast they put Frank back!
@caranha Thank you! I am planning to add some post jam content, a timer mode after you beat the game is one of them.
(And you can lose the game, I just made it difficult to do so as I usually make quite hard games 😅)
What is a Frank? :wine_glass: A miserable little pile of body parts?!
This game has great style! I liked its casual vibe, it wasn't too much pressure to get the hands and feet but it wasn't easy either!
This game starts rough. I understand the goal of getting arms and legs or I should say hands and feet first but I felt big irony in doing that. The feet for some reason had stealth attack which could only be avoided if you're moving fast enough. HOWEVER in order to move fast, you need to get foot which requires defeating a foot :confounded: . Hands are rather easy to defeat, brute force should be enough to get some. I believe it should be swapped: hands have stealth attack while feet have normal attack.
That being said, somehow I managed to get hands and feet set to face Mr Torso. It was tricky fight but I won and managed to make Frank whole again.
@bloodbane Very good point. My reasoning is that the feet should be a bit tricky to kill, (it's ok to lose some hands). However, I think in the post jam update it makes sense to switch them around (maybe also add some small attack to the feet to make up for the easier progression).
@hacktrout Thank you!
Fun game and nice design ! Great entry for this jam. Not sure about the theme. But I like the fact that you can't die and just seek for your body parts :D
@hmrpf Thank you! I wanted to a spin on the theme, so you are harvesting bodyparts.
I love Pico-8 games and this was no exception :) My first playthrough I kept getting pushed around by the body parts so it was a little frustrating to die at the torso but the second time I managed to beat it. Perhaps the hearts can be reflected back at the torso to deal damage. I like the detail of more hands equals more damage and more feet makes you faster.
Short and sweet little game! I liked it. Really enjoyed the take on the theme and how foot enemy's attack. Great work!
Fantastic game! The idea is well centered on the theme, simple mechanics and the shouts and enemy shadows give an air of fun. I can't dodge my feet, I thought it was unfair, even trying to get out of them, but other than that, the logic of the game as a whole is pretty fun.

I was doing fine but when the boss had like 10% hp left and he transformed I somehow got comboed to death in an instant. Very polished game otherwise!
@fluri @echo-gameworks @lfreinoso @verttixpertti Thanks for the feedback! I am working on a post jam update, so some of your comments will be looked into :)
I really liked how your body parts improved your hit/speed! Was really challenging -took me a couple tries to defeat mr torso lol really awesome job on this! And great use of the theme! xD
