We decided to go with a different idea but originally my idea was a plant man who grew plants from parts of him self. Cool implementation of a similar idea!

This game really deserves more attention, I think it's really original and a cool idea, I had a lot of fun playing

I like how the body parts grow! The only issue was that I can't seem to buy anything other than hands...

great submission, the only.. ONLY criticism is not being able to skip the instructions at the beginning, having died multiple times xD. but that's more on me

Interestingly dark idea! Wasn't sure if this was a bug or not, but sound wouldn't play for me (you've not opted out of the audio category).

I played this for awhile! Lots of fun, keep working on this. Progresses nicely.

Remember to normalize your move vector, though!

Brutal game, but I like it a lot - saving the link and will play it later with mouse (my fingers hurt from touchpad...). Would be great with some spooky music in background. However the basic gameplay is great and I get sucked in for quite long time (even without the mouse :)) ) . Good job for solo made game! Keep it up :)

Not so bad, i like the idea, and the items (maybe the blender's sound was too loud!).

The intro text is a little slow, and the actual gameplay mechanics feel a bit lethargic, and sound design is sparse, but the character of the game is quite novel and holds the attention.
