This is a lot of fun! I particularly enjoy the odd satisfaction that comes from being the head that completes the body at the end of a stage. The sound effects are satisfying as well. Great job with this!

Honestly this is great! I love the weirdness of playing as a head, and the gameplay is really satisfying! Really well done!

Great, after the voting is over, I'll probably play this game again

I don't know why, but grinding in this game is really fun, and when you have grinded you can just fly through the level which is really fun.

enjoyed playing this one! nice concept and awesome graphics, the controls are smooth and responsive, the gameplay is challenging, I need to stack up on points to upgrade my jumps and dashes.  Good replay value! overall great game! congratulations! keep it up!

I’m still not sure if it’s funny or creepy hahaha. But what I know is that this was really original!

This is brutal and hilarious. The absurd theme and ridiculous graphics are awesome, and the use of the limitation is epic.

Music and sound effects were good. Controls and hit boxes were good enough for a platformer.

It's hard to think of any suggestions for improvement, unless you wanted to write stories for these characters. But the stories would have to be extra ridiculous to one-up the theme. :)

Edit: I thought of something. Please add full screen support in itch.io. Playing on a laptop, I had to choose between whether I could see the top of the screen or the bottom of the screen. Thank. :)

Awesome use of the limitation!

Hah, I love it. The plot is so ridiculous but works so well! The limitation is used very effectively. It's so useful that by the time I won the last level I was basically just buying any and all +HP upgrades and plowing through it. Music was catchy, and the sound effects worked well. Great job!
