That was fun. I liked the unique movement. I feel like there was actual strategy I was able to use. I was surprised when I got to a "boss". Well done!

I love the controls. It is a nice new idea and so hard at first, but after some time you get the hang of it :grin:

I really liked the controls - I had an extremely hard time wrapping my brain around them, but I really liked the fact that they were something that I hadn't encountered before and needed to figure out!

LOL I had fun in this one. I hate the spiders, but I appreciate the ability to STOMP them. I don't even know what the snake is doing or if I can do something to it. Anyway, I like the originality and the humorous soundscape. My best score was 80.

Cheers, everyone for playing! I'm glad you liked the controls because we know they're quite strange. We didn't put much explanation in because we were interested in how intuitive they were going to be. Sounds like there's a learning curve but not impossible to figure out.

@suchista Very good point. So you can actually injure and eventually defeat the boss but there should definitely be some kind of indicator that you're doing damage to it. Maybe a sound or visual cue. Appreciate the feedback.

The controls are fun, it reminds me of classics like QWOP and Octodad! The sound effects are really satisfying too.

Great game! It took a little while to understand the controls but once I got it, it felt pretty good. I also didn't understand the bugs at first but then I realized that stepping on the skull ones would lower health and that bugs will attack feet on the ground. After that, it just took a few more games to beat the boss. A nice tight little game experience!

Nice stomping game. The control is hard to get used to but I did get some fun from stomping creatures with my feet. Especially with jumping.
