Congrats on the result! This played well and was well paced and thought out, perfect size and execution for the Jam. Nailed the theme too obviously! Well Deserved!! Hit me up if you ever need some pixel art assets!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! I will keep in mind. Thanks.

This was a great platformer! LOVE how you interpreted the theme!

Mechanics are super cool and original and work great with the level design!! ✨✨😊
I wish I had more time to play it before the deadline, but I managed to get legs, arms and body.. hehe
will come back another time to see how this unfolds!

Great job!! ✨✨😊

What a nice and cozy platformer, from the chill music to the "mellow" but nice gfx and pace. Good take on the theme as well, awesome job!

The concept of putting yourself back together is genuinely brilliant. Starting as just a rolling head is a strong, memorable hook, and the steady introduction of traversal abilities makes the progression feel natural and rewarding. It creates a clear sense of growth, as if the character is physically and mechanically becoming more complete with each step.

This is a really nice platformer. Great job! Got my legs and arms, then dropped my head and died. And it seemed to break the ability to disconnect my head again :( 

Developer

Sorry to hear that. I think I know the bug that causes that. I will get it fixed. Thanks for playing.

That's excellent, great mechanics and good level progression. Love restarting from previous computer, saves so much frustration. Had one minor bug, couldn't release my head at one point. Really well done!

Developer

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Being able to attach and detach different things is really clever it allows for a lot more versatility in the puzzles you can make. I hope this becomes a full game if y'all are still having fun making it.

Developer

Thanks! I don't know if I will make it a full game but I might expand on it once voting is done.

Thank you and thanks for playing!

Very nice! A little bit difficult (RIP space key :P). You should make it a full game!

Developer(+1)

Haha sorry Space Key! Thanks for playing!

The beginning immediately hooked me 😄 I really liked the story setup and especially the little cute orb/creature. At first I thought the whole game would be designed around controlling that little ball, and honestly I loved that idea.

After that it became more standard movement gameplay, and later I got stuck on a ladder because I couldn’t figure out how to move sideways off of it, so I wasn’t able to continue further 😅

Developer

Yeah I was hoping to have a more expanded head only section but ran out of time. Thanks for playing!

Nice atmosphere and mechanics! also a good story 

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Really cool pixel metroidvania! And not only because I love this genre, but because I loved atmoshere and concept of head detaching. Some ideas to consider - MORE parts to find,connect,replace to give you extra powers - temporary or constant!  And a bit more sounds would help to feel the level more. 

P.S. Seems you have a bug - if you die (lets say when you detach you head, miss the text how to teleport your head and accidentally roll to the deep down :D), then you respawn at first checkpoint and detaching stop working.

Thanks I will look into that bug. Thanks for playing and the kind words!
