I really liked the head throwing and it felt very fluid! I was a bit lost in the level but keep it up ^_^

Thanks! Being honest, we ran out of time and just threw a crappy level together 🤣. Oh well, still really enjoyed the gam jam!

Sorry about that! The goal is to collect all ten gumballs throughout the level.

Fun mechanic to play around! I think this movement would be great addition if used as special ability in other games.

Really great graphics & colors. Tossing concept is cool, but a bit unpredictable. I also got stuck in wall like Pickled Penguin. I bet this would've been amazing at 72 hours.

Fun! Propelling your self in all directions with your head is quite satisfying. The controls and mechanics are easy to manage. I think some sounds would be nice, also being able to collect the orbs with your head too.

That's awesome! Great job fellas! I got stuck in a wall a couple of times, but I love the moving mechanice. Some sound would've been nice, but a fantastic job for the time!

Yeah, one of our team is a musician and sound effect designer, but he's also our main programmer and he couldn't quite spare the time, unfortunately. Glad you enjoyed the game!

This game is a neat idea. I love that you can throw your head out and it propells you. Overall I found a little too hard to control but I love trying to explore and was excite to use the physics to get around.

Thanks! Yeah, I've never done a tether mechanic before, I think if I tweak some more it has real potential for fun gameplay mechanic.
