I had a blast with this game :)
This is very difficult to control because the controls are quirky and this is physics driven but that makes 95% of fun.
Doing cartwheel to kill robots is definitively not what I thought I would do today.
I also love that the player is losing limbs as they get hurt (The last laser section was tough!)

Super fun entry :)

It's funny, but really difficult to play because the physics gets crazy!
I love the idea and with more time and polishing it could be great.

Great game I love the mood that it achieves, the music in conjunction with the "ridiculous" movements mechanics makes this game hilarious.

Good job it is very original.

Thanks for posting this game :)

The game is great! First off I really like ragdolls. Second the music went really well with the game. Lastly the player is really fun to control.

This was nuts! Very unique experience, but in the end it was a bit too chaotic for me.

At first, and I was messing around, having fun, enjoying experimenting.

It was slow going for a few reasons, though. The way the shotgun interacted with the floor made it tricky to blast off at the angles the game asked for. The best time to get the shotgun at a certain angle was mid-air, but the refire delay was too long to shoot in those moments. The early section of the game asks you to go up stairs, so it's very hard to make progress and brutally easy to lose it all.

None of that was a big deal in the early game where the punishment for plans going wrong was low, but once I got to the lasers, they shredded me. The barrels before them also were a problem.

Then if you do die, you have to re-watch a really long unskippable cutscene.

So while I really enjoyed the zany physics for a bit, I guess it was too hardcore for me, sorry!

Really interesting game with a cool style, and the music really fit well. So it's a nice entry, but I couldn't hack it.
