Addictive gameplay in an intriguing setting, what more can you ask for!?
I managed to get to room 46 on my first run so I'll return to beat my score :p
Nice animations on the arms! Hard to hit ctrl on a mac, but it was very fun and clean!
Thank you so much :3
As the animator on this game it means so much that what i created on such a short deadline is being enjoyed <3
