This is creepy! I couldn't find another leg or arm and could not pass the 99% door. by the unblinking eye on my chest didnt help. But who could say no to that

Such a wonderfully weird and clever idea! I really love the visuals and the physics in this game. I never managed to find the head though - got up to 94% normality at best. Also, the music should loop, because by the end you’re playing in complete silence. Great work overall!

Very creepy aesthetic (good). I do have to wonder a bit about the scoring metric, I never found any arms but legs did fine in that slot. In fact I got a pretty good score from having a leg instead of an eyeball! The physics of tumbling around as an assortment of parts was neat.

I loved when the game classified this as acceptable haha. Really cool take on the theme!

I'm handsome too, 100%! You made all the elements fit together, funny creepy, atmospheric artstyle. Was also interesting to learn what things you weigh as more normal than others! ;)

Loved this. The weirdest I could make myself and still be normal was just swapping the left and right extremities. Spent a bit too much time making my limbs and neck as long as I could.

It's awesome. I started feeling the atmosphere right when I heard the very first note in the soundtrack. Would like to have better navigation, all other things are great.

This is a wonderful game to drop screenshots of in your friends discords with zero context.

Huge fan of the lovebomb ending.

Very impressive for compo. Of course it was hard to navigate and the body part detector didn't work as expected. Thank god you were in chat to guide me otherwise i fear i might've never reached the end. Cool entry!

Wow, that definitely had a creepy vibe to it, but it was really well done. I had a hard time getting past the 99% door, but that might just be because I, myself, I am not very normal. Nice work!

I had such a good time rolling around with my “slightly abnormal” guy with a hand for a head. One of my favorite concepts I’ve seen so far, really fun!

Attached eyes to my feet and hand in place of head, normalness still 78% which is relatable hahahaa. Really weird game in a god way. I had fun playing it!
