Can't write dates with this in any format, they're considered typos.

I bought the full game, actually.  Browser version glitched out and broke on me last couple of times I tried playing it.

I wanted to like this. I wanted to really badly. I like puzzle games, especially physics puzzle games, and the premise for both the gameplay and story are hilarious, sexy, and novel. But goddamnit this game is unintuitive and frustrating when it comes to the physics and positioning the different parts of Ody, and maybe it's just me but I don't appreciate the timer and move counter being on by default and when I finish a level being told, "Finish in [x] seconds to beat the level; finish in [y] moves to beat the level," when I don't see any of the levels' pars past the tutorial being possible when I'm told to take small movements or move in finesse; I could move the same body part the same way ten times and get wildly different results. This feels especially true when it appears in all camera angles I have everything lined up, move the midsection back, and somehow it slides off to the side.

I apologize, I did not want to make this a longwinded rant, and I acknowledge that this is a solo dev project that's still being worked on, but once I got to level 5 and saw the lasers I immediately quit. Like I said, I wanted to like this game, and in spite of liking everything else, the gameplay killed the mood and any desire for me to progress past the first few levels.

If I could recommend anything, just spitballing off the cuff here: difficulty levels, a cheat menu, the ability to just play the game without a timer and move counter or at least turning the pars off, slightly more forgiving hitboxes for the extremities and connecting bits, the ability to lock the x, y, and/or z position of the midsection (or generally, better control over the characters' and their parts), have the level restart button just reset the level instead of jumping back to the story bit, and if it doesn't have one already a sandbox mode.
