How does your game represent "Power"?
A Part Together uses `power` in the older platformer sense of a new `power` or `ability. Such as Mario picking up the flower power and getting the `power` to shoot fireballs. In A Part Together, you can steal the powers of the enemies you kill to help you achieve better platforming, abilities, and attacks.

I thought the movement felt a weird because the camera control made movement tricky at times. Though probably because 1) I was playing using mouse and keyboard and 2) I played on the browser, so please take that feedback as you will because I do know that you strongly recommended to use a controller.

No I appreciate the feedback. The game uses momentum based movement, which is isn't common I don't think for that type of platforming. The camera is partially done the way it is so you can set it in a perspective and handle platforming without it shifting too much. Its all unusual and I wish I hadn't focused on it as much. I should have just focused on the parts mechanic lol, oh well!

Thanks! I definitely bit off to much, but I'm really happy with the creature design. They still look so stupid and each with their own messed up character.

Haha nice! Do you prefer turret gun arms or armature gun arms?
I feel like the meta changes for the Pepe wings challenge. That was made too hard mbmb 😞
Hmmm... idk. I don't know if I found the turret gun arms. Does it depend on what body you have? It seemed like I could hit stuff easier with the guns on the rabbit body but it is a little hard to tell.
I went back and explored some more after I saw your comment and I was shocked to find that it had saved my progress! That detail is very much appreciated. I had assumed that the "new game" vs "continue" options were just placeholder.
I did eventually give up trying to parkour through the wings segment and would just YOLO at it with the frog head. Not sure if that was the best strategy in actuality though. XD

Haha theres no best strategy only the one that works! But can you do it with the frog strategy, hahaa I kept failing with it.
Also thanks again :)

Thanks for playing! I was way too ambitious. I should have just focused on momentum in a platformer lol. Having to balance out 2k worth of parts combinations was impossible haha.
I really love the models, they are so dopy and really gave the game the vibe I was going for. My favorite is Annoying Bird. He like an washed up N64 character that's mad the graphics have moved on.
Thanks for check it out! Space station silicon valley had a huge impact on me as a kid. I always wanted to modernize the concept lol. The games also inspired a bit by tarkov haha.
I tried to do both the animal parts and momentum platforming. I should have picked just one thing to focus on.
To get the controller to work it's a bit wonky, you have to stop touching the mouse and keyboard and click a buttons on the controller.
