Very sick game. The gameplay is pretty fun and unique, and the visuals look tasty. I also kept getting lost but other than that it was really fun.

The visuals and theme selection are super cool~

Really solid entry. I love flesh monsters. The artists absolutely nailed it. Gameplay was a little slow to start but nonetheless fun. Those lazer roaches scared me lol

Absolutely loved the themeing here! The photo-collage aesthetic is awesome!! I loved having to balance using meat to upgrade yourself vs feeding it to the creator! Really well done!

The beginning took a while, and there being only one attack makes it a little mashy, but it picked up more once you get more limbs. The style was super good, I really liked the realistic art mixed with the low framerate animations.

Absolute cognitohazard. So did you just record your arms flailing to make the sprites?

Entire game has this unsettling vibe that I haven't felt since Golden Light.

The moves were very fun. The homunculus is horrifying. I fed it many raw steaks

(Great job)

@poboy haha, yep, we just sat on the floor and recorded our arms and then cut them out for all of the animations XD happy you liked the game!

Animations were top-notch! Loved the atmosphere and the combat. Some of the SFX felt a little bit ill-timed but overall very fun game :)

Very nice creepy homunculus! I like the terrifying atmosphere.

Great job! I really love how creepy the atmosphere is. It actually reminds me of Basilisk by KIRA. I didn’t manage to finish it, but I wanted to restart today. Jumping on enemies with only 1 HP feels very intense, and I wanted to see the next evolution form. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t seem to work on my browser anymore today. Hope you get all the votes you deserve!

Very interesting game! It's weird in a good way :D I think the gameplay is a bit too slow, you have to travel a lot to get to new enemies, then backtrack that same distance to the start to dump your collected flesh. And because it's continuously decaying, it feels like a chore that gets worse as the game progresses, because you're just slowly crawling around further and further for most of the game.

But the graphics and overall vibe is quite cool :D good job!
