You need to climb to the top of this building to get the scissors to free yourself from the seagull that you have been tied to. Try to avoid letting it eat any chips and gravy, for this will only increase its power.

A silly game made for the GMTK Game Jam 2021 (theme: "Joined together"). Originally I wasn't going to enter, but at like 10pm on the Friday I had a silly idea and decided to just go for it. Time limit was 2 days, but actual time spent is probably closer to ~16 hours. It's not polished in any way, it's very slapped together, my main goal was to have fun making something that made me laugh.

Yes, it's possible to get to the top, I know because I did it (after many tries and plenty of frustration). If you make it, let me know your time taken (it'll tell you in the end screen)!

Controls:

Controller (recommended): left joystick moves left hand, right joystick moves right hand. L2/R2 to grab.

Keyboard (possible but way harder): WASD moves left hand, IJKL moves right hand. V/N to grab.

(Hint for if you're having trouble getting off the ground: try holding up on both hands and alternating grabbing)
