About Just Arms

Story


After a terrible fall you wake up confused and without legs. All hope is not lost though, for there is a tale of a witch with immense powers, so powerful that she can even regrow limbs. Punch yourself to the top, find the witch and restore yourself to your former glory!

This game is amazing in every possible way. I would highly reccomend this game to anybody who could afford it. Once you play this game, you will officially have completed life to its fullest. You get to punch yourself around, who wouldn't want that. You can also play with friends (if you have them). 10/10 Punching Physics 10/10 Fun 10/10 Content 10/10 Game

Just Arms takes a deliberately ridiculous premise and builds an entire physics-platforming challenge around it. The protagonist has lost the use of their legs after an unfortunate fall and must undertake an upward journey in hopes of finding a witch who can restore them. With conventional walking removed from the equation, movement depends entirely on the character’s arms. Developed and published by Icehelm, the game turns this limitation into its defining mechanic, creating an experience where something as basic as crossing a gap can become a mixture of calculation, experimentation, comedy, and frustration. Movement revolves around manipulating the arms, generating momentum, and using punches against nearby surfaces to launch the character in different directions. The controls are intentionally unconventional, meaning newcomers should expect their first attempts to be messy. The character can bounce, spin, fall, or travel in an unintended direction after a poorly positioned strike. Gradually, however, the physics begin to make sense. Players learn how much momentum is necessary for particular jumps, which angles provide useful trajectories, and how to recover from an imperfect la…

Игра Just Arms — это настоящий подарок для любителей хардкорных экшенов с элементами метроидвании. С первых же минут погружаешься в мрачный, но притягательный мир, полный опасностей и загадок. Боевая система требует не только реакции, но и тактического мышления. Комбинации ударов, уклонения и парирования — всё это приходится осваивать на ходу, ведь противники не прощают ошибок. Исследование локаций захватывает: каждый новый уголок карты открывает не только новые испытания, но и скрытые секреты, улучшающие снаряжение или дающие новые способности. Атмосфера игры пропитана гнетущим ощущением одиночества и борьбы за выживание, что только усиливает желание пройти этот путь до конца. Несмотря на высокую сложность, ощущение прогресса и победы над очередным боссом приносит невероятное удовлетворение. Just Arms — это вызов, который стоит принять.

You know what's worse than a 'Getting Over It'-style game... ...a BUGGY 'Getting Over It'-style game where you randomly clip through floors and get violently flung across the map at normally inconspicuous spots (neither of which are by design). Still going to finish this game because I'm stubborn AF but I DO NOT recommend this game. TLDR: Buggy game = no fun
