I don't know what happened to me but it happened. I wasn't expecting the game to turn that crazy. It's a straight forward game but it does well what it does. I couldn't beat the third one, it seems quite hard. Overall a nice experience, good job!

This game truly delivered on the fun factor! I appreciated how the thematic elements, particularly the ever-changing arm mechanic, kept me on my toes, requiring quick adaptation—a feature I found quite engaging. Each boss encounter was enjoyable, although I felt the difficulty progression could benefit from some fine-tuning. The art style evoked nostalgia, reminiscent of those charming early 2000s children's cartoons, which added to the overall appeal. The music provided a fitting backdrop, and the controls were responsive, though I did notice the jump felt a tad swift for my taste. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game. Kudos on a job well done!
