Human Tangram by nusan

[raw]
made by nusan for LD 42 (COMPO)

In Human Tangram, you are recruited in a big company to work on Human Resources. But as candidate do not fit exactly the job, you have to reshape them a little bit. It's a puzzle game.

Update : I added a Post-Compo version with 100% more blood, music and sound. It's what I didn't have time to do during the jam and it make the game more disturbing.

Made with Unity 3D, Krita/Paint.net, Blender.

I liked this one. Separating the pieces before starting isn't perfect, especially having to click twice if the split isn't straight, but apart from that I enjoyed playing it. Thanks for providing a linux build!

I played it till the end and it was a very nice sometimes challenging game but in my opinion it missed the theme.

Really interesting concept and executed so well. GG for the quality of the UI, it's good work in this ridiculous amount of time.

The graphics would benefit from being a bit less flat IMO (while staying in a minimalistic style, but there could be a different font, and some texture). The default set of brushes in Krita 4 allows to create amazing texture in a minute.

Overall, that's again high quality, I've been following you for the last few game jams and you keep surprising me. Keep up the good work!

Interesting game, makes me think of Papers, Please. Would have been nice if the pieces showed their shape even when not hovering them, that would help to think about the puzzle, since the body parts don't exactly match the shapes.

I love puzzle games and Tangrams so I really enjoyed your game, and I like the way that you articulated the narration and the Tangram game, sometimes it made me laugh a little :)
However, the "rotation inputs tip" could pop out a little bit more when it appears the first time. Maybe you could add a background behind it (black bg + light grey text?) or something. Also, sometimes when I cut the pieces, one of them gone a bit out of the screen, luckily I manage to bring it back, but maybe it could block other players (and I hope it will not).
Too bad I did'nt have time to give you my feedback in real life!
I'm looking foward to your next game! :)

Very nice idea ! The controls work surprisingly well for a jam game. Tangrams are a nice spin on the theme, well thought ;)

Yes! I reshaped myself successfully. As usual your entry is really well done with an interesting concept which fits perfectly with the theme. Mechanics work well, and playing, it seems to me that Human Tangram is more than a simple puzzle game. However I prefered to play without blood. I would like to hear a background music - something quiet creating an ethereal atmosphere, but I guess that you had not enough time. I noticed on the second level a strange possibility (or a bug) which allows to cut differently one part. It could add some difficulty for hardest levels (just an advice if you plan to create a large post-compo version). I will take a look at the source code. I would like to know more. Thank you for this weird experience. Bravo. One of my favorites entries ++

Your game is very nice to play. The general impact is positive.
As a professional game dev I would suggest... just kidding haha
Nonetheless, if you want to work on this project more I suggest making a difficulty incresing algorithm.
Graphics - very nice. Controls are also working very well.
Maybe you could also take a glimpse at my game? I already enlarged it into a wholesome Android game :)

I especially like the ending of this one! It was alot of fun to play this puzzle game, I'm okay with the graphics (Although I really don't like the sprite of the mouse cursor) and the idea fits the theme well. Not extremely good like I have seen in other games but still not bad :smile: I wasn't bored even once which is very good, because most puzzle games in this LD lost my interest because there was no music that could set me in the mood to play it longer.

Not a bad puzzle game. I feel like there's some kind of twisted social commentary going on here, especially with the snarky comments at the end of each level. My main concern is I'm not sure how well this fits the theme. Maybe that's just me, though.
