Game was really fun and stupidly clever if not hard at moments but charming. Until the wizard mixed things up a bit I really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the concept and the ideas implemented but the game proved to be a little frustrating after the arm power up. I couldn't full screen the game, so that added to the difficulty (I gave up on the third arm shimmy puzzle). Amazing idea and interesting but frustrating execution.

Gameplay was a tiny bit frustrating to me but I love the concept and its a fun art style, Good work!

Really like the audio design and the art style. The gameplay was a bit frustrating like others have said, but I still enjoyed the game and loved the concept! Really cool concept on the theme!

You didn't just make me play Getting over it again.

The platforming in the first levels was a bit slow but once the arm got involved I was moving around at speeds never seen before. I also have to commend the incredible voice acting and sound design overall.

As others have mentioned, the game eventually gets frustrating. I had to give up after trying to get past the wizard about 15 times. I think resetting the player to the beginning of the stage on hit is a bit too unforgiving and demotivates once you get sent back after some progress again and again. Maybe introduce some sort of checkpoint system or a less harsh punishment.

Wow, this game is great! The ending is pretty funny. Definitely deserves more votes (I think you gotta vote yourself more to get ranked higher in the queue).

The controls of the game are extremely counterintuitive, but perhaps that aligns with the theme of the game. We play as a 'creature' without arms or legs, seemingly growing limbs during the process to resist the powerful wizard. It's a rather interesting theme.

The game's physics and collision detection seem to have a few issues, as sometimes I would get blown to certain places by forces from unknown sources.

If this game were to be further expanded, I’d be excited to see the protagonist gain more 'body parts,' granting more abilities. It would be more exciting to defeat the wizard in ways beyond just picking up a gun and shooting him XD

I couldnt get to use my jump, so i couldnt continue the game. BUT the little zoom made me laugh actually x) Keep going ! dont hesitate to try out my game if u got time tho

I like the janky graphics and the voiceacting is awesome! tbh couldnt get past the boss battle but it would be cool to watch a playthrough vid cause others seaid the ending was funny (: i just think you did not account that as a creator you are always better player then average player of your game and made levels fun for your level of experteese Overall a nice idea and pretty nice execution!

Buzz Buzz ! wonderful gameplay :)

Neat game, I liked a lot of the concepts in it. The jump mechanic was great, having to make sore the rotation was correct to get a good jump was an interesting challenge I have not seen before. I found the arm grab, as powerful a traversal tool as it is, to be a bit janky and hard to use consistently, but if with some smoothing out of the mechanics I could see this being a very fun platforming concept. The art fits well with the game and the music is great background. Overall very well done!

Not a very fun entry to play in practice, but conceptually cool. Always a fan of trying wacky things.

cirno 2024-10-13 02:05

The concept is very creative and genius! I find the arm super powerful after I learn how to use it. The wizard is a bit hard for me. I can't help imagine the creature gets more body parts and becomes more powerful.

I LOVED this game and its concept. At the arm segment it was not clear how to swing? BUT otherwise this is a great game that could use polish.

I shall forever name it (the homunculi) blorbo.

oller125 2024-10-17 18:15
