We did, lol! Tbh Frankenstein was the first thing in my head when I heard the theme, I'm surprised I haven't seen more games using that idea lol. Regardless, thank you for playing!

Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the itch page, that's something I've really been trying to work on as I publish games to this site. The story only exists at all because I forced myself to use all three wildcards, which I'm really glad I did!
This is really next level. So much atmosphere, down to even the little touches like the echo-y footsteps, super fun art, great writing, and the mechanics are so impressive. I was really expecting to have one or two possibilities for body parts, but there were so many and they all had their own exciting traits! Swapping was simple and slick, combat was easy to understand but allowed a lot of strategic approaches, and it was all just so fun. Really, really great job.
Thank you! That really means a lot. Yeah I think the controls could have been mapped a bit better, I set it to those keys in the beginning of the week then never touched them again, I originally wanted to allow for button remapping but never got to it.
Also generally with anything running in your browser the Escape key (Which I think of as the 'traditional' pause button) is reserved so it's best not to use it. Like if the game was full-screen and you pressed escape it would exit full-screen and potentially pull the focus away until you clicked the game window again (Although I didn't even have full-screen turned on so maybe it's a moot point lol).
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks you for playing! Yeah one of the things I had originally set out to do before this jam was set up fully remappable controls (which I didn't get to, obviously). What you suggested though would have been a pretty easy middle ground though that just never occurred to me. Thank you for the feedback!
