Cool game, I loved the graphics and the game was well balanced! I also loved how the upgrades were actually reflected in the character model.

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback!

This was fun!  Really into the graphics, especially I think the normal maps you made on the pixel art textures?  It all looks super cool.  Nice work!

Developer

Thank you for your comment, we did use a normal map on the dungeon texture !

very well made good job on this one

theme is clear without having to look at your interpretation, gimmicks are intuitive and easy to adapt

absolutely love the visual aspect, got nothing to say on that part so ggs to your artists

there are only two "bad" aspects which arent even that bad:

some body parts are wrongly classified (for example a lot of heads i picked up could not be put on the head for whatever reason)

web build is extremely unoptimised and laggy to the point of crashing the page, it makes sense the web build is laggier than the downloadable build but you should absolutely take a look at that after the gamejam since that can really deter people from playing

overall, absolutely amazing job on this

Developer

Thank you for the comments, the options to put limbs in any slot was a bit of a last minute dissociation so we must of over looked the head problem and also I tried my best to optimize but it was my first time with so many rigid bodies which causes a majority of the lag. Happy you enjoyed it though.

Wow I love this, curious to see this expanded beyond just stats for each body parts.

Developer

Thank you very much! We might expand on the idea.

Really fun and unique, the body part swapping mechanic is awesome! I think the lag issue during the initial attacking might be due to the particle effect shader compilation. I've had that issue before and fixed it by emitting a particle once right at the start of the game behind the intro screen so that it's loaded in without affecting the gameplay. (Also when I was hitting keys on the keyboard I accidentally found the god mode button :P ). Very well done though!

Developer

That could make sense, we will definitely look into that. Thank you for your comment!

Swapping your body parts with those of mutant creatures is such a cool idea and it’s implemented really well! The huge variety of models was super impressive and I love their textures too, the whole theme of the game is really cohesive. Great music too, the whole thing works together very well. Amazing work team!!

Thank you very much! We're happy to see you enjoyed the work we've done!

It also lagged when attacking for me too once in full screen. Changing the screen to windowed and back to full screen seems to fixed that. Its really interesting how you take enemie's parts on you as upgraded armor/weapon. Good work!

Developer

Thank you for playing! And we appreciate your comments!

For some reason, game lags when attacking.

Developer

Hi ! The web version has some issues when loading / attacking. Please use the .exe version if the web version lags too much.

It is an interesting concept to reassemble yourself from the body parts of enemies

Developer

Thank you! We're glad you liked our game!
