About Amygdala
When a man has his body stolen he typically has one of two reactions; he either dies, or he sets out on an adventure as a disembodied head, hell-bent on revenge.
Amygdala is an action/adventure platformer where every living world you explore is a freshly generated permadeath challenge. There’s no hands and no handholding as you face off against swordheads, voidpigs, giant swarms of beez and the wizard that stole your body (hint: it’s NEVER his final form). Learn and survive. Avoid traps. Watch wildlife get in fights. SHOOT MINDBULLETS. POOP BRICKS. IT NEVER ENDS, IT JUST GETS HARDER.

Amygdala builds each new world fresh and toasty. Every time you advance or die you will find yourself in a new world that no one else has ever experienced before or will ever experience again.
No checkpoints, saves or handholding. If you get hit with no energy or fall off the world you die, game over, start from square one. There's a lot to investigate in these worlds so feel free to go look up the answers in the manual, we're just not spoon feeding it to you.
If you choose the dark side and seek eternal vengeance we are happy to accommodate. We'll keep turning up the challenge until you fall to your own hubris. Then we will laugh. Plus your name goes on the shiny high scores board for all to see forever!

[i]Amygdala - you will ♥♥♥♥ bricks.[/i] Amygdala is a shortish rougelite platformer that seems to be artistically inspired by the binding of Isaac. You guide a disembodied head around a series of randomised stages collecting gems and killing the wildlife, on the hunt for a wizard who stole your body. [h1] Good [/h1] - Actually most of the game is pretty well done - your third eye serves as a compass, a health meter and a jetpack / weapon meter [h1] Bad [/h1] - jumping doesn't "feel" good, you have this weird inertia and your character has a little trouble interacting with ladders. It's manageable but it is major razor in the fairy floss - shooting feels weak. -doesn't take long for the stages and enemies to repeat All in all I enjoyed some of this game but if it just had tighter controls and slightly redone shooting it would be so much more than it is. Pity. Maybe grab it if its super cheep and you enjoy tough platformers [h1] 2/5 [/h1]4 found this helpful
Quickly made garbage platformer without any entertainment value.2 found this helpful
Amygdala is shovelware that has transcended one of the boundaries thought so deep that not even 2D platformer bundle spam games could sink beneath it. It won't run without Java! This is recommendable for people who like Java, people startled by electricity and cavemen.1 found this helpful

Tags: Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Does not install cleanly. Requires manual install of Flash by end user from a browser window. Art style reminds me vaguely of Isaac which you should play instead. Xboxpad not working out of box. Review: Cheap 2D flash game sprites with next to no animation. Movement does not feel fluid on screen. Controls are also way too floaty no matter what you are attempting. The physics reaction from getting hit is off kilter. Level design is a bunch of staircase style platforms floating in the middle of nowhere with insta pit of death at the bottom everywhere. Sometimes the game drops a key near you for no reason. Going near it does not pick it up so it just fell in the bottomless pit. Default control scheme is nonsense, with WASD movement, spacebar jump, and left bracket for shooting. Universe is nonsensical with lobster foes and some kind of blob of flesh with a third eye as a protag. Remember to uninstall java. Not only is it a security risk but it also asks to load up your browser with bloatware. No xbox360 pad support past the main menu
If the game was cheaper and/or still in Early Access, I would have said Yes, but the game is neither and what you get out of the game is not worth the price.
