@shotgunsamurai Thanks! Music is not mine, got it from freepd.com (awesome CC0 music website!)

I thought it would be grosser. :smile: That said, I loved it! Really clean mechanic, unique and interesting idea, and truly a joy to play.

Original and nice idea for a game! I love how you did something different and outside the box. Nice cover by the way :D

Awesome, hilarious take on the theme! The choice of music adds the icing on the cake.
The mechanic is simple, but well executed(the purple guys are giving me trouble though) and clear to understand. I love the "ghost" graphics of your past attempts.
Congrats!

What a silly but fantastic idea! A great take on the theme! I'd only say maybe make the collision of the sword a bit friendlier as some corners were a bit finicky !

This is one of the most inventive concepts I've seen from the jam so far! Twisting the little sword around felt really satisfying. It gets a little too clunky and imprecise I feel as the difficulty starts ramping up but I still really appreciated the breadth of mechanics gameplay as you descend into the poor fellow's bowels. The past attempt trails were also a really nice touch. Solid entry!

Oh man avoiding those purple tape worms was really hard. The concept and mechanics really worked well for this theme.
Great job!
Great job!

the small-intestine maze is a mite annoying, but the game in general was fun!
vanLeiden29 Apr 2021, 15:30
Ridiculously wonderful!

:D :D nice!! Probably the most original idea I saw till now. Sympathetic visual and also sound. Easy and fresh. Good job!

Such a cool take on the theme! And a really neat mechanic - it feels sort of like snake, but alternate controls. I didn't do too hot (couldn't make it past the intestine), but I did like that I wasn't sent all the way to the beginning each time.

Really cool idea, difficulty curve could be worked on though, the level with purple tapeworms is a too big ramp up in the difficulty in my opinion, also slowing down makes the game easier instead of harder, so i feel like a diffrent way to punish would be better, also more forgiving hitboxes would be nice, other than that the game was pretty sick

Perfect :rofl:

So difficult to miss those purple tape worms hahaha, they keep following the mouse pointer! Good job. Really enjoyable little game, and the painful yelling makes you feel so guilty. I love the music - very well done. Most enjoyable and original take on the theme.

First 5/5 in this jam from me. Frustratingly fun. You've nailed that quick and constant die-learn-restart loop that makes games like VVVVVV work.

Very funny :) good work with theme.
Innovative idea. Congratulations :)
