You're John Potatom and you've got no arms nor legs. Climb your way up the old tower to meet the old wisemen using only your tongue and lots of determination.

This is a really hard game.

Controls: Use the mouse to aim, and click to use your tongue. A and D to roll slowly and W to jump a bit with your head.

Further notes: I made this game in only 24 hours since I entered the jam quite late, I plan on finishing this game after the jam ends with way more fun stuff to do and way way better graphics, so expect the final product after the jam.

Really disturbing... I LOVED THAT.

This is amazing..... Very difficult, but amazing. I played for a solid half hour, even after the game crashed once if that tells you how much I was enjoying it. I especially liked the little details, like the saliva droplets when tongue-jumping.

Wonderfully done! The tongue physics are fantastic!

This is raw 5's. Pure perfect. Absolutely love this.

What in the world possessed to make this nightmare fuel, I loved playing it though.

I have one question: What is wrong with you?!

Seriously now, that tounge mechanic is very impressive.

vinmegamitensei6 Oct 2020, 19:26

Really cool game, dude! Really creative and an impressive mechanic for such a short time period to develop!

Dizzy6 Oct 2020, 19:27

This is very good! I liked

DanyVk6 Oct 2020, 19:32

Whaaaaaaaat a good game

You're sick, man. Keep it up! Managed to return one baby! Maybe if, and I can't believe I would be suggesting this today, maybe it would be better if the player eats the baby? I felt like just getting to the baby was rewarding enough i.e. didn't see the need to return it to old man babyeater. Controls felt solid and fair. Might want to tone down the difficulty, especially for Ludum Dare games. People want to beat it and see that ending! Thanks for sharing!

I don't even know what you were thinking. This game is shocking.

...

SHOCKINGLY AMAZING!!! Well done!

Loved the mechanics and the graphics. NGL, it's pretty hard to move the character, but I guess thats kinda the point (bc thats the difficult part of the game hehe), so really good job :)

Xbdoblex8 Oct 2020, 03:48

the mechanic of the game is cool :) , in resume,I like it! good job!

Wow I'm glad I played this game. I like dark creepy stuff. Good sound design, too. Although the tongue sound effect got repetitive so quick. Players needs mastery to progress. Well done.

Matoux429 Oct 2020, 22:28

What a concept! GG dude, I realy appreciate your game :ok_hand:

pedrocoden11 Oct 2020, 08:02

Nice game!

KRYSH12 Oct 2020, 15:27

This is incredible! I loved it. Some variation in the tongue sound would have been nice but damn this is addictive and super tough!

NinjaCatz14 Oct 2020, 08:24

The game turned out to be very cool! The character concept looks interesting. Unfortunately, I could not complete the game to the end, because it turned out to be very difficult, but therefore it is interesting. The music goes well with the game as a whole.

King_Cacti14 Oct 2020, 10:51

a cool little game, the controls remind me of "getting over it" and it feels good. I couldnt complete the game cause it was hard and i dont have the time but it was good. the only thing i would say is i dont understand how it relates to the theme

cdunham15 Oct 2020, 09:55

More disturbing than I was expecting lol nice job though! Pretty challenging, though if you wanted to avoid that you could've added checkpoints or something. The gameplay is simple but works really well and is fun. Good work!

Chaoseiro15 Oct 2020, 15:06

Just.... wow...

Still struck but what I've just saw hahaha

Nevertheless, great mechanics and fun game, but REALLY hard hahahahah

guimoliveira16 Oct 2020, 16:03

Poor John. :cry: Nice game. Good job!

Huntrox17 Oct 2020, 10:54

very difficult ,but really so much fun goodjob

Jam37319 Oct 2020, 12:13

Couldn't finish but still loved it. Really grotesque version of getting over it, art was great, music was great and the gameplay was really smooth and intuitive for a game where you use your tongue to move!

Pedro Henrique Cesar19 Oct 2020, 18:04

Took me a good time to finish it but it was worth it! Good execution for a jam, nice job man. Overall: good game!

Polymorph21 Oct 2020, 11:19

I really liked overall feel of control.
Really responsive.
Not sure about theme though.

poodle_in_need23 Oct 2020, 19:28

Wow, that's... kinda disgusting...but other than that it's fantastic also given the fact it has been created within 24 hours only. And since i'm also very interested in visual arts i also looked up your website and instagram and DUUUDE ur super good, i love your work! Keep it up man : )

Jakob Reborn26 Oct 2020, 18:01

About the theme - are you stuck in a loop of perpetual torment and struggle? :) Surely I was. Loevd it tho, great physics, really responsive.
