I was looking for a game idea for this jam and suddenly it all started to come together. I hope you will like it. I borrowed some mechanics from an old NES game called "Doki! Doki! Yūenchi: Crazy Land Daisakusen".  The fewer lives a player has, the stronger his projectiles become, s…

Each stuffed toy has different strengths and weaknesses, but each toy must also choose a body part to discard in order to escape in time.  Losing different body parts will severely effect di…

Windows version obviously moves way smoother than the HTML5 one. Below is a link to the version we released two days after Ludum Dare ended.  It doesn't have any new content, sans an easier level, but just runs smoother in general and has fewer bugs.https://grandtheftmarmot.itch.io/the-tearable-three-release-version And don't forget to rate us on our Ludum Dare entry: https://ldjam.com/events/ludu…

You have to reset the page to quit. …

I continue to search for honest constructive feedback on where to improve, what to add a…
