Nice concept with a really good realization. I'm sure I could get good at this, I just don't have the patience.
I got stuck at the stairs trying to play normally, then I just mashed all the fingers and flew to the goal. Pretty fun game.
Really awesome concept, pitty I suck at this and couldn't get the hang of moving. Would love to see this refined.
Thanks! Yes, I think maybe it's too hard as it is. I might refine the physics and make the level longer after the jam. I was aiming for 'infuriating', but may have overshot even that! Did you figure out that you could fly a bit by making a 'rock' gesture (1st and 4th fingers out only)? in general, the way to win is to create big jumps and clear obstacles completely. It *can* be done!
Yeah I did discover the ability to fly but even with then I couldn't do it. I always ended up not moving in the right direction which is sad because there are only left and right XDD
Fun idea, i like it! My game is also about a severed hand :D
Thanks! I think there may be other severed hand games beside ours, too! EDIT. Just played yours. Very very cool!
the game is pretty fun but i could not get past the stairs. it was too hard for me
Thanks for playing! It is very hard - probably too hard, tbh, but my last game was too easy, so I probably overcompensated :) Did you figure out that you could fly a bit by making a 'rock' gesture (1st and 4th fingers out only)? in general, the way to win is to create big jumps and clear obstacles completely. It *can* be done and the game isn't very long at all.
i did read that tip in the description of the game but could not figure out what that meant exactly. that being said i did find a slew of different mechanics that make controlling the hand a technique with very high skill ceiling. like how fingers can causes the hand to move significantly even when they don't interact with the ground directly. it's not that i could not get past the stairs it's just that i kept falling (back to an previous spot) over and over again.
its cool that the controls correspond to your actual fingers, i love you so much
Thank you :D
I did beat it by the way, found a way to pretty much fly and abused the shit out of that
Ah, cool! It's good to hear that someone managed it. Maybe others will. I think you really have to be airborne a lot, which isn't ideal, really, but it's totally within the rules :)
