If I try to get the file from your itch page, it gets stuck loading a donation lightbox.
Please don't put LD games behind a paywall, even an optional one.

Good controls and nice level design. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out the controls while playing the LD version. I got run, jump, and sprint, but I wasn't sure what to do with the game.

I rated the Jam version which obviously wasn't done. I like where you were going with it.

Looks pretty intriguing, but I can't understand what I should do.

I like how you texturing that organ)

FOR BEST RESULTS, I RECCOMEND THE BEST VERSION SINCE IT IS THE BEST VERSION. THE JAM VERSION IS GOOD BUT THE BEST VERSION IS THE BEST.

I guess monster designer is not a career option for me. All my monsters were ugly and weird. :P
Nice game, had fun experimenting!

I couldn't really work out what I needed to do and after 5 minutes of trying I decided to check the submission page for some instructions but I couldn't find any.

That was certainly a new and different experience :) I was hoping that my monster would try to walk around after I created it! xD

I played the jam-version as it seems the most fair to use for rating and evaluation.

So though the game seemed quite clear on what to do and I found the first limb easily accessible, then it became obscure. I like the setting and mood, all the props made, but I couldn't find any more body parts. I think I looked everywhere, jumped on and even through some. There was a jar on a top shelf, but when I managed to get up to it I couldn't interact. Maybe all these things are clearer in the post-jam version, but if I'm missing something then I do think some more explaining in the game is needed.

I did like the experience though.

@local minimum IT'S TRUE... THE PRE-JAM VERSION IS BARE BONES. I'D RECCOMEND PLAYING THE BEST VERSION TO GET 400% MORE EXPERIENTIAL ENJOYMENT. THANKS FOR PLAYING!

Why do you keep recommending the post jam version, it's very misleading even in its name.

Couldn't find more than one limb in jam version. :u

Only a limb in jam version :(
Great atmosphere though.
Try to catch up the schedule next time :)

I played the updated version, and it was incredible! Probably my favorite of the ~25 games I've played! The jam version was incredibly bare bones though, so I had to rate based on that.

@blob I RECOMMEND THE BEST VERSION BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST. DEFINITELY MORE BETTER THAN THE JAM VERSION

@aidanmarkham THANK YOU FOR PLAYING! THAT IS ALL I CARE ABOUT

Don't release the .pdb files with the game. Those are just for the developer and make the filesize really big.

Pretty good! The theme was pretty spooky! I played the Jam version so obviously some difficulties but good job.
