Awesome game with nice mechanics.

I found the levels a bit cramped; the character is quite tall for such small walls.

The pacing is a bit slow, but it has great potential overall! :)

Thanks for your opinion. I’ll take all of that into account for the future!

The title is really clever, funny, and a nice twist on the theme!   I got stuck for a little while at the pit with the spikes level until I figured, hey those body parts are coming off and you can pick them up but so far they haven't been used for anything and then I start clicking around and you can hold right click to aim and click to launch ur body parts at the levers. The body parts can also catch fire briefly  but that mechanic wasn't used in a puzzle as far as I could tell. 

This was after I tried to stack bodies with the saw until I noticed that bodies started despawning after you hit a cap.

Thanks for your rating. I’m glad you found it funny!

And yes, I made a mechanic where the body parts can be in fire, but I had no enough time to make a puzzle out of it, so let’s just say it’s an easter egg for more realism. 😅

This is a very ambitious idea, I love the art style and the menu of t he game! However, there are problems that hinders the experience for the player. The UI in the game state doesn't work at all, a tutorial could be great help for the game also. There's a bug at the start where when I walk backward for a while, I just fall off the map. Overall, the vision of the game is really nice and cool, but a bit more polishing would definitely make the game fun!

This game has a simple core gameplay loop of throwing the player's body at the problem enough times till a solution is either stumbled upon or found by player intuition which is enjoyable enough. The current issues I have with the game are

1.The game's rooms are very dim to the point where I had to increase my laptop's brightness in order to see anything at all, which immediately removed some immersion I initially had when playing the game.

2.While the ambient noise is appreciated within the dungeon, I feel as though it could have been better with some form of ominous music to accompany the ambient noise to really add to the atmosphere.

3.The game would greatly benefit from a faster respawn time as during my gameplay, I noticed that I could not immediately move after respawning, which made the game progression a lot more slow.

4.I noticed there was a limit to the amount of bodies that could be in a room at any given moment, yet no indication of how many bodies were allowed before old ones started despawning, adding an indicator for how many bodies are currently in the level along with how many more can be spawned till the oldest body gets removed would greatly help.

5.The game would greatly benefit from having a tutorial as I noticed there were no controls listed on the game page or in the game itself which was a little frustrating as that forced me, the player, to have to press every key on my keyboard and mouse to figure out the controls manually, detracting from the game experience.

If these issues were fixed and more content added to the game, I could definitely see this as a fun puzzle game based around self torment.

Thanks for your feedback. I hadn’t noticed how dark it was on my computer… 😅

I ran out of time near the end and the game is far from finished, but I’m glad you liked the idea!

And sorry for all the problems, I’ll try to fix all of that.

The game loop is pretty slow to me. If you were going to make a death loop, I think the pacing of the game could be faster, like character moving faster. It’s also really dark. Good job submitting the game before the deadline by the way.

Thanks for your feedback. And yes, unfortunately, I had to give it my all at the last minute to make it presentable, so there are still things to improve. At least I was able to return it on time! 😅

Really enjoying this game so far, it has interesting mechanics and a great atmosphere. A full version would make it amazing!

I thought this was a pretty clever game. I really liked the intro text, aesthetics and audio and I think they're a really solid foundation for the rest of the game. I do think having a tutorial and/or more clear controls would benefit the game as I was having trouble throwing the body part around. There seemed to be an aiming mechanic but I couldn't make it work so I unfortunately got stuck pretty early on. I wish I would've been able to play further into the game so I could give you more thorough feedback but I do think it's a pretty good concept. I loved how morbid it is, haha. Great job overall!
