How it feels

You manually flail a character's limbs through awkward everyday tasks, creating a goofy, trial-and-error physics sandbox that feels both endearingly clumsy and unexpectedly tricky.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, deliberately clumsy physics game similar to Octodad. The head and limb controls are hilariously frustrating, but completing tasks wins you over. There are only 3 or 4 levels, and some players find the mouse sensitivity too high and unadjustable.
