Limb Slingers by petersmyth

[raw]
made by petersmyth for LD33 (JAM)
You're the Monster! Play as a scattered group of limbs who've lost their body. Try out cool new bodies in the park by sticking the bodiless ends of your limbs to anything that moves (even things that don't!)

Use WASD or arrow keys to fling your limbs!
Press up and down flex your limbs and left and right to steer them.
Press Q and E to switch which limb you're controlling.
Pressing spacebar will detach your limb from whatever it sticks onto.
Press ESC to quit.

Game made for Ludum Dare 33 by Peter Smyth and Thomas Newlands.

I love the graphics and the idea, it's hard to actually control the arm but hey, we humans aren't used to controlling a monster

Graphics are really well done and the game is a very interesting concept! I found is extremely difficult to move the limbs though (which I know is the point of the game, but like really difficult). Overall a pretty creative game

Great idea, but the limbs are, like, REALLY hard to control.

The mix of 2d and 3d was really good.

After I became a bench with hand and a leg stucck into it and another weird slime began waving at me, i decided that it was enough internet for today...

It's like Octodad got blown up and mixed with a pool of Adventure Time.

I failed miserably, but it was fun! (and it has really nice graphics!)
