your flesh is willing, whether you like it or not...

collect 3 keys and escape the decrepit building, lest you join the collection of bloody pulp and festering tissue

CONTROLS Use the arrow keys to move Use the up arrow to jump Move into ledges to grab onto them Jump while turning around to perform a high backflip

our interpretation of "unstable" was "formless, ever-changing, unpredictable" and so the game has a monster that doesn't have a concrete, physical body and is instead a menacing aura that turns the lifeless into the morbid and grotesque.

Comments

Theme

A strange interpretation but pretty understandable. I just think "unstable" rather than "ever-changing" means the state of instability should resolve somehow (negatively)

The flesh is just a hostile piece of environment, nothing unstable about it.

Maybe the fact that flesh is unstable? I'm not sure

Enjoyment

It is hard but it does not provide enjoyment in its hardness.

bloody

Gameplay feels good but it was pretty hard

A bit too difficult

I liked the movement.

It was fun, but I didn't really understand the mechanic behind the backflip

The controls are very intuitive and smooth. Liked that.

very hard to figure out how to do the backflip

Aesthetics

I like the character

Love the Celeste hotel level feel.

Cute little game

Excellent sound design and colour palette.

Audio and art are very minimalistic, but very spot on. They all fit together really well.

Art is good, no story

Innovation

Nope.

the monster morphing into the environment is an interesting take

Interesting enemy

Old but gold.

the climbing is nice

Bonus

animation is cute

for the nasty death squelching sound <3

The flesh itself felt a bit irrelevant.

Had a web build

Pixelart :)
