Devil's Handshake
Daisies are evil hellspawns that must burn; eradicate all of them to pass each level.
In this brain-busting tile-based puzzle game, traditional 4-directional movement is something you shouldn't take for granted. Activate the powers imbued in each of your several arms in order to push and drag yourself around each map.
Eventually you'll find numerous loose arms scattered across the board that you can use to mix-up your movement options. However, whether the extra arms act as an advantage or a hindrance depends on how you attach them and what your current needs are.
Be hyper-observant of your environment and plan every move carefully in order to achieve your ultimate goal of botanical genocide.
Controls:
Up (or W) - Activate upper hand
Down (or S) - Activate lower hand
Left (or A) - Activate left hand
Right (or D) - Activate right hand
Hold Space - Enter jettison mode
Space + Arrows (or WASD) - Jettison an arm from the given direction
Z - Undo a move
X/Y - Redo a move
R - Restart level
Q - Open menu
UPDATE: Huzzah! Your game will now be auto-saved upon clearing a level. Though, since the level order will be restructured in a future update, I can't guarantee your save will transfer when the update drops...

I love it!
Can't wait for version 1.0 :)
Hopefully it won't be too long until it comes out.
Any update?
I'm really hoping we will see a version 1.0
Hey there! Glad you enjoyed my little game. This past year's been pretty busy for me, but I'm hoping to scrape some together free time soon to post an update.
Thanks a lot for your continued interest. Stay tuned!
Thank you for the update!
I'm really glad you're still working on this little gem. :)
Superb idea!
