Hey there, I played through your game in this video at 26:35
Awesome art, cool idea,
Can get a bit redundant when you realize you just have to swing around in circles to win.
Awesome entry!
Wonderful idea, and wonderful art direction. I love the body acting as an hp bar and an environmental obstacle
Hahaha, what an idea! Looks, sounds and feels very polished. Love how the dead body on the ground effectively is your hp bar. Sadly the gameplay becomes stale relative quickly, as it's mostly about quickly moving to a good spot and then swinging around in circles like crazy. Immersion is top-notch though!
My game: https://njamster.itch.io/wonkey (playable in browser, not mobile friendly)
just congratulations!
The concept is great, the visual, sound everything is great
I love the control scheme with the mouse ( doesn't really works with a touchpad).
Well deserved rating!
We made a game too. https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/461449
Wow that was awesome! Very polished...the particles effect when the enemy dies is great! The way you move the arm is brilliant!
The only nitpick would be that there's a dominant strategy that would be to just keep rotating the arm....but other than that, exceptional job!
Very original, looks awesome, gave me some Adventure Time vibes that i loved! Cool game!!
Haha, this is so cool! Love the little fella! Great game!
Great concept! When I realised you could crawl by clicking and dragging I was like *mind blown* haha! A lot of fun to play as well, getting the fire sword feels very satisfying. It might have been cool to have some other reasons to move around once you have found your body, since I mostly found myself staying in one place, but this is a really cool game, nice work!
Awesome concept, I really had fun playing it. One bad bug I found: I left the game in the background for an hour to do something else, and when I came back, my computer was running really slow, and there were hundreds of the monsters on screen. Apart from this, I found nothing wrong with the game. Awesome atmospheric vibe, too!
Interesting, simple concept but is very polished, graphically impressive and has lots of game juice. The gameplay seems simple to me, but what's there is very well done. It looks like it's a professionally created game, and it may be. The scene is quite nice and moody as well. Good job on this, it's the best I've seen so far.
This is so good!! only flaw is that the movement gets "clunky?" near your dead body. I understand that you aint suppose to be able to protect all around your own body from a single point so there is some kind of collision added in . But it hurts the movement which make it super hard to move around and you can still somewhat swing and hit all angle (with super awkward control,everywhere else was so smooth and nice) ._.
Love the introduction of teaching player the control.
That's so unique and polished! Great job! Check our game: https://cerosware.itch.io/one-stick-shooter
This game looks absolutely incredible and played very well. I can't say that I found the gameplay very interesting, as I found myself just swinging around in circles. But with some more variety you'll have something special.
Wow... this idea is really awesome.
LIKE.
really like this game but i wish you didnt remove the 360 degree movement you have in the opening. It made me confused at first and then it made me disapointed
Turns out i was too close to the body, but it still makes me a little disorientated
The concept is interesting and looks pretty nice. It has a lot of potential as an arcade game. The good think about its design is that it makes your arm hurts, and it is part of the experience if you put the player in the place of the solely living part of the dead body. The bad thing is that sometimes the arm didn't respond as I was expecting and that was a bit frustrating.
Good adherence to the theme both mechanically and aesthetically. It could be improved by making the arm not just using a sword but forcing it to move the body to another part.
Looks like an original idea with great potential. Maybe allowing the arm moving around could make it more interesting, or having other levels with the breakable ground and that kind of things.
Bug: I found that placing the arm in the right place makes the game easy. Here you can see what I mean: https://streamable.com/08snb
So moody and hauntingly beautiful. Exactly my aesthetic. Cant get over how good the limb looked and was animated, haha. nice work!
Here's mine if you get a chance: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462325
The movement mechanic is so original! Great atmosphere and graphics and fitting music/sound too. The fighting itself though I found a bit too clumsy and inaccurate. Still, one of the best entries I've seen so far, nice work.
Wow! Funny and unique use of the theme and also great atmosphere and visuals! Don't know what else to say, except great job!
