Pretty cute! I wanted to get all the parts for the Green eye but always run out of time, really chill game. Nice one!

Fun graphics! Wasn't sure if I was supposed to get all body parts of a specific set or just dig up anything. I also bugged out when my game ended and I restarted, it seemed like I was still in place perhaps (and managed to dig up squid arms) but screen was blue and dialogue had a timer running.

The audio design was cool, and I love the spooky mood! :D

I like the idea, though the movement didn't feel too great. I like the 3d models that were made too! Super cute main character.

All the different parts are so fun, I liked imagining what kind of creature would be created by each combination of parts. The timing was tuned pretty nicely and made it addictive to keep going out and finding new parts. Grid movement wasn't super responsive which made movement feel worse than it needed to. Music really nailed the fun-but-spooky vibe!

Love the 2.5d feel!

The visuals are pretty nice and it's funny seeing the different body parts, but there's not much "game" in it. It would be nice if we got to see the resulting bodies somewhere

Short and sweet! I like the distinct visuals. The audio also gives a nice spooky feel to the game. The gameplay is a little straightforward, makes me wish there was some other element to it. Overall, nice work!

Cool little game! Love the time-management aspect. I do wonder if keeping the game locked to a grid was strictly necessary for it, as it adds a little clunkiness to the game feel IMO. Visuals are super cute though, and the atmosphere is pretty good as well! Good job!

I liked the mood and theme. I liked seeing the diversity of body parts in the panel.

Unfortunately, the game was not fun to me, as the "optimal strategy" was easy to achieve on the first try without much room for improvement. It was very easy to do exactly what you wanted. There was no challenge.

cute visuals, but a bit too simplistic for me

I don't totally get it. I build bodies, and then the game have some kind of weird ending. I liked the music and visuals.

Nice, now I can call myself a body builder :muscle:

Good entry and good interpretation of the theme!
