It's pretty addictive, I'll give you that. Visuals are excellent too! Though I never managed to finish ._. Controls seemed to always work against me in the worst possible way. Amorphous mass of limbs sounds like a wonderful idea, but in actuality I ended up using always two or three limbs at max. One button per limb also felt limiting: I'd rather have fewer limbs and two buttons per appendage, more QWOP-like in a way. Especially rotating limbs would have been immensely more useful if they'd rotate in both directions.
Also, having more than two wheels seems to cause physics to majorly freak out...
I don't know if it was intended that unlocked limbs would be available between different playthroughs, but I would have quit after few tries if that weren't the case.
Overall judgement: I liked it!
