For LD players: I thought I was "stuck" too, but it turns out you can break those two square blocks with b! :) And then, just a hint for ppl since I know from experience that I give up on LD games way faster than normal and look for help in comments: after getting the arms, you can continue left.
Very cute that the full human still paws like a cat. However, I'm stuck - when the dog shoots me with laser eyes, I can't walk or do anything (wasd or b). I don't know if this is a bug or just me ([rbably the latter).
The excellent visuals really set the mood!
For those who got stuck. (**Spoiler alert**)
Regarding getting stuck under the platform with arms, you can smash the wooden box by pressing 'B'. There are other smashable objects in the game, some of them might reveal secrets :wink:
Regarding being shot by the dog - it's the end of the game. However, there is an alternative ending, see if you can find it!
EDIT: sorry for the double comment - I couldn't find a way to delete it :laughing:
- Sound is a bit loud
- It would look better if the in-game text fit the pixel art style
- art 'pixel size' is really inconsistent. In the screenshot below it works fine for the background and blue 'spirit' but the brain really stands out. It's much higher resolution than anything else.
- brain and head walking had nice distinct sound but after that I could basically just hear music
