I really enjoyed that - super hard, but in a way that makes every move forward feel like a victory. There are subtle things that could make this more enjoyable for a general audience, like the ability to grab onto the ground or a slightly stronger pull force, but I'd hesitate to make changes like that because it's the difficulty that makes it satisfying. Great job!

Thanks for the feedback! I will try out adding the ability to grab onto the ground. That is defiantly worth exploring but I just didn't have time during the jam.

Holding right-click while not holding something made it super hard to understand what it meant.

I just played through the game again and I can't see that anywhere in the tutorial. Could you tell me where exactly that you saw that so I can fix it after the jam?

Fun game! Kind of reminded me of Snake Pass. I liked the chomp sound effect when I grabbed onto the snail, lol.

Really neat game! Given the segmented look of the main character, I assumed there was going to be some physics-based mechanics and yet they still managed to surprise and delight. I  really liked how you subverted even the basic idea of "enemies" in a platformer.  When I initially saw those snails I was like "Oh man, how am I gonna avoid these things with this control scheme," and then the revelation that they're actually how I get around was awesome. Great work!
