This is a great mechanic, and it's really fun to play. I especially liked the head rolling animation

Some collision seem to be off and the controls are a bit clunky. But the great level design and nice progression in the puzzle difficulties make this game really great. Had a lot of fun and enjoyed the macabre idea. ;)

The only big issue is with the player collisions, they seem broken when jumping on stairs.

The idea is good, but what really makes this game are the head popping effects - absolutely perfect, encapsulates what the game is about - great job!

The movement could use a little more polish, especially when jumping onto platforms, but that's just my take.

I never thought I would ever say this sentence but It is oddly satisfying to pop your head off! Great game.

I really loved this mechanic and your exploration of it. The head popping mechanic also ~felt~ good with the screenshake and blood effects.

The animations are fluid, it feels good to remove the head an control it

I really like this idea! The micro interactions were really solid with all the little animations and bumps

Submitted

Really fun game! The movement felt slightly stilted at times but the mechanic felt great! Popping off felt amazing!

Cool story too and nice tutorialization of levels. Great job!

Great idea! I think it still needs some polish, especially in the movement of the head, but I definitely would like to play a longer version of this.
