Just Arms Reviews
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 the power to regrow limbs. Punch yourself to the top, find the witch and get your legs back!

This game is FRUSTRATING! But...I like this better than the originals to be honest just because of the variety of movement. Easy going game especially if you are familiar with the "getting over it" and the latest one that came out as of recently which was the "cardboard box". Cool stuff!

Gave it a 2nd chance, still the worst game I've ever played. Mouse cursor to control a left/right movement is insane. Anytime the cursor goes over the character he freaks tf out and you go flying. No flow in the movement, no way to save yourself.

physics nuances are clear after a few hours.
for more fun finish DLC first (go left at the start).

Overall fun game with great potential. However, it's still rough on the edges, which can be hard to tell because of the intentionally frustrating nature of this game design. It's a thumbs up for the concept, art style, price and general execution. But needs heavy movement polishing, the inconsistency in movement ruins the gameplay.
Some rapid movements and collisions could use polishing and don't seem to make sense with the momentum of the character. Controller movements need heavy polishing. As you move the joystick, the adjustments aren't smooth like on a mouse, which makes it almost impossible to play since you're flicking around endlessly which ends up flopping the character around.

4.0 Hours and I already beat the original map and the DLC. This game is very fun and frustrating, especially the last area of the DLC and the graveyard area on the original map. The graveyard area has a bug where you punch through the platform. The DLC map blew my mind but it only took 2 and a half hours. I luckily did the last part of the DLC with a strategy. So I didn't get send back. This game is very fun, but a bit easy if you have already beat several hard games.

Takes some time to learn the mechanics, then it's quite easy and fun to play.
Mushrooms are the biggest enemy.

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).

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

This is like Getting Over It but every time you try to position your cursor for a movement, your character goes spinning off uncontrollably due to the shoddy physics engine and poor decision to design them as a rectangle and leave their arms constantly extended beyond their body width. This means that any time their arms touch the ground (which is required to progress) it creates a violent opposing force that moves the character unpredictably and unavoidably in either direction. For a precision platformer this is completely intolerable and makes the experience luck-based, as if the character does not land length-wise they will certainly not be able to maneuver any tight jumps without falling immediately.

Just arms is a goi like that may seems clunky at first. You'll think the control are bugged, or that its just uncontrollable, But after you master them, you'll see how wrong you were.
The map is unfortunately really punishing at the beginning, which makes it harder to want to keep going. And if you find a way to pass an obstacle, you'll keep doing it that way instead of trying to master the control. But after reaching 60% +- the fall will be way more forgiving so you won't have to worry about losing too much progress once there.
The dev is also someone worth supporting, he remade the multiplayer to be lag free, added controller support once asked, and also made a bunch of bug fix that i reported
