Really like the concept! One change that could be fun would be to make the head a bit bouncy, I had a lot of fun trying to go for 'trickshots', and I think bounciness could add to that!

Use of the limitation
You can throw your own head to collect bubbles, hit buttons, etc. But you have to pick it up in order to throw It again. However, if the head gets hurt, then the body gets hurt and vice versa.

This is really fun! Cool level design and great use of the limitation. Some of it actually feels really unique -- like dropping the head to jump higher, isn't anything I have ever seen in a platformer before, I think. Good stuff!
Fantastic game! lots of laughs every time the head rolls. Challenging in the best of ways !love the fun bubbles! The music is awesome and a perfect selection for all the action and movement! I'm very amazed at the graphics, design and the whole concept. Really is the best game I 've ever played! And I can't stop playing it.!! Keep creating you are obviously extremely talented! " A star is born !!"
it would have been nice if it had a button to eexit
but at least I didn't find bugs
Awesome use of the limitation. I like the sound and mario reference too!
I think the throwing can be improved, and not have the head stop when hitting obstacles like the roof tiles. Made it hard to clear some of the levels that require precise timing.
Great stuff!
Really one heck of a mechanic. Super unique and interesting. The art is also really nice, as is that catchy music! The tutorial section was also did its job well.
The initial level designs are also really well made, and really fun to play through. Tho I did get stuck early on with this level.. I kept throwing my head at the challenge but couldn't beat it
Very nice and it's nice to see something different from all the other games where bullets decrease your HP bar. I enjoyed the puzzles, the music fits really well. If I could offer 1 peice of feedback it would be to change the mouse cursor to a sprite that fits the style of the game, as the distance you throw depends on the distance the mouse is from the player it would make more sense to incorporate it as a pixel art image. Other than that, great work :)
In my opinion it's the best game of the jam, the gameplay is very innovative and the game is super beautiful, frankly gg (especially since you were alone), the only negative point which is also a positive point is keep the music in mind (I had it in mind all day yesterday lol)
Very good concept ! I love this kind of puzzle games.
Music is good, graphics are neat. And props on the level design. Good entry !
- the presentation is good
- amazing concept
- neat tutorial
- great design levels
- great games.
Awesome work! This game is a lot of fun to play and I love the mechanics behind it. Throwing the head was fun and I liked the weight difference of having and not having the head and having to use that to solve the level. Nice!
Love the character art, and the real feeling of weight to the character.
The trajectory of the throwing is a bit unintuitive.
A Good game. The puzzles are fun and very creative, I really liked the harder ones, but sometimes the game gets a bit glitchy.
Cool game! I really like puzzle style games and this one totally filled that role. Some of the levels are pretty hard but in a good way of course.
