gooood job on the pixel art this looks amazing. i love the boss design and the concept of how to fight. I wasn't able to do the ranged attack because i'm using a trackpad, which made it pretty hard :( cool game overall though!

Hello there! I really enjoyed the aesthetic of your game! I also enjoyed the boss designs and plentiful amount of  animations.  The music you used also went along great with the art, giving it a gritty feeling that matched with the dirty city you presented!

I encountered a glitch upon dying where I was booted back to the title screen and still in my spirit form and retained a tiny blip of health. After I died from the boss again, I was put right back into the game now stuck as the Magpie version of myself! It was pretty cool, though I'm sure not intended, lol.  This happened twice in the in-browser version. 

I struggled a bit with gameplay because I did not have a mouse, only a touchpad. As such, I could begin charging the charge attack, but could not execute it. This definitely hindered my playthrus. Also, the Painguin was able to stun-lock me twice, once when I got hit repeatedly by his ranged attack and the second when I went behind him and he wouldn't let me leave the top-right corner.

Overall very good premise! I wish I had a mouse on me so I could get farther than just the second boss. Keep up the good work!

Really fun gimmick to play around, and amazingly charming art style. I would love some sound effects, they would add a lot to this game

I loved the concept and execution of the mechanics. Did crashed and sometimes I will get stuck but overall fun idea

Submitted

Nice interpretation of the theme with fun gameplay and nice art style.  I think the charged attack with the scraps was a really nice touch.  

I do think some form of healing mechanic would have been a nice addition. Also, I noticed that upon dying, I ended up returning to the first boss and was unable to do any attack actions. 

Other than that, this was a great game!

Full screen mode doesn't work correctly on my 16:10 display, the health bar is partially cut off...

Fun game! I like the use of a magnet and how the pieces follow you around. Charging the attack felt really good!
