Well that was... very fun! I could imagine the team brainstorming about this ^^
The overall design is really great and interesting. The take on the theme is really unique, and the realisation is on point!
I think it might be my favorite one so far because of the uncanniness of it!
I lost a leg once though, will it be a problem? :p
Hahaha, I'll tell you our secret for coming up with ideas... Walking the dog! xD
Better than taking a shower apparently :D
We're so glad you liked our game so much that it made it to the top of your list, truly an honor! Thank you so much!
Well, if you ever loose a leg again, you know you need to go to BodyBuilders, they'll get you a new one in no time!
Impressive work for just one week, and super weird too! The corpse launcher was a nice touch xD
Thank you! We'll take "weird" as a compliment for this one :D
Very creative game, it's like Overcooked but for humans lol! Top marks for innovation for sure! It is also pretty fun and easy to understand due to the thorough tutorials. Great job!
Hahaha, exactly! It was very much influenced by Overcooked indeed.
Thank you very much for the kind review!
This game is unlike anything I've played in this jam, the way it approaches the theme is truly unique. Great job guys!
Thank you! We tried really hard to have an original idea because we felt like with that theme a lot of games were going to be revolving around the same things so we're glad to know you noticed our efforts :D
I loved the way the machine music tied into the music, that was super cool. Also loved how the music felt like a restaurant pizza making game with a morbid twist, really well done! I had some trouble with the direction the player was looking but for the most part it was a really well designed game, the foundation is really solid for this! With some visual polish I could see this being a game I would buy
Wow, thank you so much, your comment really means a lot to us!
We're so glad you noticed the changes in the music depending on which station you're using, hehe, it's pretty subtle so kudos to you!
The mechanic of using the mouse cursor to aim was added very late in the development so maybe it could use some tweaking, yeah.
Unfortunately our usual artist was not available for this jam so we had to make due with free assets, hehe, not always easy to find something that's perfect but we agree that some polish could benefit the game :)
Great job! Super witty. I had fun building bodies lol
Hehe, thank you, nice to know you enjoyed it! :D
Fun game, and love the humour! Great job!
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it!
Such a unique take on the theme! I love the smoothness of the gameplay. The mechanics are very well polished, also the player progression is done masterfully, all the levels that introduce a new machine is well explained. Beautiful game!
We did try to have a different approach on the theme since we thought a lot of games were going to be revolving around the same things, so we're glad you noticed our efforts!
So thank you so much for the nice comment and feedback, it's much apreciated!
Bizarre game idea and music mix! Great!Definitely in line with the theme. Lots of programming skills in this game too. Kudos! I agree with one of the comments below that the rotation of the character was a bit strange with the mouse pointer in one direction and walking in the other.
We can work with bizarre :D
Thank you for the kind words :)
Actually we implemented the controls where the character faces the cursor quite late in the development. At first he would just face in whatever direction you'd be walking in, but it was too hard to accurately aim for the different "craft stations" so we implemented that aiming mechanic, maybe we should have provided a toggle for people only wanting to use the keyboard? Definitely something to keep in mind though :)
Yeah, it all gets a bit last-minute in game jams I gather, but overall it's an impressive game. I suppose in the future you could get the head to rotate, but not the body.
Music really added to the game lol. Great game
Thank you! Our composer is delighted that you liked his work, thanks!
Great work :), controls felt good once I got the knack of throwing body parts :).
Good ramping up of difficulty. Excellent fit for the theme to.
Music was a top choice to :P.
Thank you for your comment and feedback, glad you liked our game! We tried to make the controls simple but fun to mess around with so it's nice to see you liked them!
I'm sure my fellow composer is thrilled that you liked his work :D
This is a bit dark, but I liked playing it! Give my game a try!
Thanks! It's not supposed to be TOO dark with the somewhat cute-ish graphics :D
lol, it did look cute!
Loved the game, great idea. Only thing is I changed the move keys in the settings and the rotation of the player seemed a little weird.
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!
Your character faces the cursor of your mouse, no matter what direction you're walking to, that's why :)
The game was very fun, the concept worked and the ragdoll movements of the corpses were a joy. The only thing for me was that the tutorial was a little bit overkill, the first levels made you do everything tripled, maybe one time would've sufficed.
Besides that, great work!!
Thank you for your comment and feedback on our game, it's greatly appreciated!
To be honest, the different levels were made VERY late in the process so we didn't get much time to balance everything unfortunately.
But we're still glad you thought it was fun!
This is a very nice game, Its complete and I really like the graphics
Thanks for the nice review, glad you liked it!
I really enjoyed this game. The gameplay loop is very satisfying and well-polished, I love that you can throw the body parts it really improves the experience of assembling bodies as fast as possible. Good work!
Thank you! Glad you liked it! We did have speed in mind when building the game, hence the score at the end :D
Fun gameplay, funny setting and an interesting concept makes this game feel like a good start for some couch gameplay!
Thank you very much!
Adding multiplayer was definitely on the list of ideas but we knew it was not possible during the time frame of the jam unfortunately :D
