This game is hilarious! The dialogue lines and sound effects are so funny, and the gameplay is genuinely interesting. I really like how the puzzles are designed — great work.

Cool idea, I liked it :) You could think about adding more variety to the puzzles, but overall it’s already quite good!

Really nice entry. Good level design, it was sometimes just little too much walking around for me tough (the walking was not that satifying). The voice effects and dialogue were funny :D Oh my <3

Dialog and the voice recorded SFX were excellent! Loved the gameplay too, amazing for managing to do the exploration focused puzzle-y level design in such a short time, really well done!

This is a really inventive idea for gameplay. The art was nice and I enjoyed the sound effects. The AI was pretty proficient so you had to duck and weave. Really well put together entry. I'm not sure but I might have cheesed the final level, am I meant to just run past the boss? :P Still excellent work.

This was a really nice game with a fun story, visuals, and sound effects! I really liked the mechanic of different body parts giving the player different abilities. I was able to basically run past everything and finish the final level in a few seconds. Not sure if that was intentional, but it seemed I skipped a lot of the intended challenge put there. Other than that, really nice job!

@melomaner @prunus-padis @cartmouse @alex-mulkerrin @pres2300 Thanks for the kind words, everyone! To be honest, we had some doubts about using voice acting for SFX - wasn't sure if it would work, but then thought "screw it, it'll be more fun this way". Really glad that you enjoyed this feature!

@prunus-padis - appreciate the feedback on puzzle variety. We actually planned around 10 levels but underestimated the time and ended up with just 3. Classic game jam story :)

@pres2300 @cartmouse - about the AI and balance... yeah, coding unit behavior turned out to be way harder than I expected. At some point I got tired of fixing bugs and settled for a somewhat stable system. Planning to practice more before the next Ludum Dare!

And @pres2300 - yep, you're supposed to just run past the final boss. We wanted to make a proper boss fight where you constantly switch body parts, but just ran out of time :)

Thanks again for taking the time to write such detailed feedback - means a lot!

Really well done! It's a fun puzzle thinking about which body parts you need and it's super understandable

batisdark 2025-10-10 07:35

I liked idea of puzzles based on bodyparts! Got the money... not sure if I can get past big bad though! Only saw his legs and got oh-oh-ed!

Diaglogues were great, but I skipped one by accident when I shot my first demon (I was spamming and instaclosed dialogue because of it). Maybe instead of any portion of the screen as skip - a button? Not sure how it would be best to prevent accedental skips. Other than that it all went smooth enough! Had fun while playing it, thanks :)

I really like this game's mechanics!

forger801 2025-10-10 07:59

Interesting look at mechanics and theme! And the sound effects are funny. Liked that game have a tutorial

salm 2025-10-10 08:09

Very good gameplay and level design.

greenpig 2025-10-10 09:34

Piu piu piu, amazing sound effects. I also like the idea of collecting the body parts. Well done!

pomogaeva 2025-10-10 12:04

Very cool puzzle system with assembling body parts. Plus, the character dialogues are well written! Спасибо за вашу работу! :)

mrjasperdr 2025-10-10 15:55

Fun game! I like the damm sounds when you have the full version of an enemy. Great job!

roberttory 2025-10-10 17:31

its good

disvent 2025-10-10 18:50

Interesting puzzle game - the graphics look fun, and the core idea is cool! It fits the theme well and has its own unique charm. The background music is really chill and fits the vibe perfectly, but the item pickup sounds started to get a bit annoying after a while. Nice work!

kapricorn-media 2025-10-10 19:04

Using your voice for SFX is a great idea! IMO in this case it really adds to the chill and fun atmosphere of the game. I loled out loud when i heard the pew for the first time HAHA

Oh, my!!!🤣🤣🤣

One of the coolest games in this jam! It’s really fun and engaging to play — love the voiceovers! Good core mechanics and visual style too.

triggthediscovery 2025-10-14 03:03

Cute game, fun art and music. Was a pretty breezy play through. Good Job!

frozendude 2025-10-14 10:20

The scale of this game is just amazing for a game jam. And the dialogue is hilarious. One of my favorite games this jam.

bluedandelion 2025-10-15 18:33

Very cool puzzle game, and a pretty unique idea too, nice job!

brainloaf-studio 2025-10-21 21:05

Such a cool concept! The puzzles here were really fun to figure out - having each body part have a different function is so clever and lead to some great level layouts. I especially liked how assembling all body parts of a type would ally you with the corresponding enemies. Really nice work!
