"Stretch and the Boomstick" is game where you use monsters to kill other monsters. With your elastic arms and trusty boomstick, swing and blast your way through this minimal arena grab-n-shooter.
Left click to fire the shotgun, the cone shrinks over time. Hold right click to grab with the arm. Once attached to a throwable object, releasing the right mouse button will fling the object wherever you're looking. Attaching to things too big to move will instead drag you toward them until you release the button.
There are 10 waves, each of which is triggered once all enemies have been defeated and all powerups have been collected.
The stretchy hand is interesting and very fun to play with. It feels weird and unreliable to throw enemies at each other though. Needs more polish, but this surely has plenty of potential.
Cute game, I like the low-poly graphics and shading on the terrain and enemy models.
Suggestions: 1) Range seemed a bit short on the weapon (not sure how the shotgun is unconventional though :) ) 2) Not very clear when you were taking damage. Maybe flash the screen a certain color or some kind of arrow pointing to where the damage is coming from
it's fun to play with that big elastic arms ! I like the colors and the graphics ! The music was a little bit annoying after some time but it's maybe what you wanted !

Arm is wonky, feel like it should be faster.
Was disappointed I couldn't grab incoming missiles and throw them.
Nice burger.
