Something is fleshy is a puzzle-platformer game where you have to help your human to survive. Make him eat, fill his lungs with air and prevent his kidneys from failing. Try your best to make him survive as long as you can and try to beat your score.

We had some fun to make this between friends, we hope you will enjoy it. Peace and love :v:

That's an awesome game.

The Visuals, the Sounds, the Gameplay... It all merges in an hypnotic experience.

Thing is, once you figure a certain order of actions, the game goes on forever, there is no challenge left.

Maybe more random or scripted events could avoided this repetitive cycle, but as it is, i think this is a worthwhile game.

Great audio and visuals. The gameplay is a bit clunky.

This game is awesome! The graphics are perfect and the concept is amazing. The gameplay needs some calibration on the run, but it's ok. I think this project is near to be a comercial game. You can put messenger a long the game to teach everybody to take care your health. I loved this game a lot!

Presentation is top notch but the controls feel a bit too floaty and could use some work. The gameplay loop works really well, but could use an definite end goal or some kind of escalating level system. :)

This game is huge and great for a jam. Please continue. Gameplay, art, sound and music. All together. What a gem! 266 sconds. If anything to help the game better. A multiplayer harder mode. Getting overcooked vibes. And that it comes a moment when its hard to catch up back again. Was struggling between air and food all the time at the end, hahah.

A few try to gasp the jumps and figure out a sequence that keep you alive forever. Would be great if with time new events happen, like cancer or random sickness that changes the dynamic.
Good overall.

Wow! Great game! :D I spent a lot of time on it, It would be cool to "advance" in levels of some sort, like the child of my human. Great experience and a really cute art style, good job! :D

Cool idea, loved the graphics and the art style. The mood really made me invested in the game, my only complaint is that i wasn't really sure of what i was doing in some parts, most of the time i just run around tickling some organs and pushing some levers. When the heart rate beat increased i didn't knew if i was not doing something for it or it was a signal that other parts of the body were lacking attention. Overall great game!

I dig the concept! Survived for 1024 seconds (kinda let it happen after the 1000 milestone). The art style is adorable and the idea of feeding the organs etc. I was a bit annoyed by the end of platforms (falling because of the rounded edge), some jumps were somewhat tedious, especially the one on top of the right lung (so the one on the left), and I often got stuck in corners here and there. Great work! Would love to see some increasing difficulty, and a full body with more organs to feed, someday :D

Great work on the presentation of this game. The menus, visuals and audio all work really well together.
The control felt a bit floaty at times, and I had one moment where interaction stopped working, but overall great job!

Took me a while to figure out I could climb the red hanging veins(?). Really pretty. I like the idea very much too, but wished maybe a bit more direction in what I was doing. Great work!

Cool concept and nice graphics! Very clean submission. It was a little repetive after a few minutes when you understand how each mechanic works.

Nice concept and really neat visual style. A bit tough to figure what's going on at first, but with some experimentation and common sense about what organs do it doesn't take too long to put all the pieces together.

The physics and platforming were a little frustrating at times - the rounded edges on platforms and low ceilings made getting around stressful sometimes.

I think this would be sick as a multiplayer game (though not going that route for the jam was probably the right call) - I got big Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime vibes from the concept and style.

Overall, very solid entry. Nice work.

I love the graphics. Everything is so cute. Even cancer is adorable. Also you designed the idea of running a human body really well. The game system is not too complex to be impossible for players to play, but not too simple to be boring. Well done!
