I'm a bit confused about how this game works. Some directions or a tutorial would be nice.
Other than that, great presentation and I'm sure if I can figure out the gameplay I'll enjoy it. 3.5 stars.

THe graphics is neat but I lost several times in the game,add more directions!

bitofgold 2014-12-08 19:15

Some directions would be good (Like "Select the correct next direction"). I think you can change this after compo, it is a game breaking thing! You have nice mood, nice music!

voidqk 2014-12-08 23:57

good mood, but confusing game... it seems you only have to memorize the first direction arrow that comes across, then click on that..?

We fixed the instructions and navigations, and added a couple of new characters, the next step would be add more puzzles, and we are working on that, thanks for the feedback :)

I like how you put animations on the characters when you click them... That was a nice touch...
The way the blue box bounced was somewhat annoying...
Nice selection of characters...

Love the graphics and animations. The idea with following the patterns is good and could be developed further. Good stuff!

Love the spitting bear. More complex patterns would be nice. Great graphics.

radmars 2014-12-10 01:33

Somewhat confusing... but pretty.

Nice graphics and audio. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much to the gameplay other than simple pattern recognition, unless I'm missing something. Still, well done.

Visuals and music were pretty good. I couldn't really understand my objective completely. The "boo" sound effect takes some of the charm away.

ferraware 2014-12-10 03:47

Wow, really cool graphics, and the idea is kinda innovative, I just wish there was an increase in difficulty, and maybe some other mechanic. If you polish it, it could become quite a game! Nice job!

zillix 2014-12-10 04:30

The music really helped solidify the mood. Great work!

tcarter 2014-12-10 05:21

Weird that not matching the symbols got me 100 points, while doing them perfectly gave me 0. Liked the music and graphics!

seraphki 2014-12-10 05:57

Really like the graphics =D

lynx 2014-12-10 06:07

Characters are quite cool and the feedback on good or bad choices is definitely unique! Good job!...am a bit confused on the scoring system though

ruerob 2014-12-10 08:47

There is potential in it. You could add harder rows of symbols and you could insert real jokes for the player to laugh if the right symbol is hidden. nice little game.

cmayhem 2014-12-10 10:52

Quite unique! Awesome graphics and sounds. Needs more challenge.

The pattern recognition as a metaphor for comedy is a great idea! you should develop it further. Sadly in this game you only really had 2 patterns so once you figured out how to play the game became too easy. That is probably the biggest issue. But the graphics were great, and you had a consistent mood throughout the game that really made it feel like a comedy routine. Good job!

haha very funny, I don't think a lot of people will get it... Very Subversive :)

cabezotta 2014-12-10 17:53

Nice one! pretty easy :| but awesome job!

pjimmy 2014-12-10 18:57

nice, cute graphics and interesting concept, well done

threstle 2014-12-10 19:22

Not sure I understood how to play the game. Anyway, the graphics and the audio are super cool, and I love the jazzy feeling !

akhilnivarthi 2014-12-10 19:31

Nice graphics and sound, make the missing tile random (it can at the beginning or in the middle or in the last)

pulsartronic 2014-12-10 20:20

Nice nice ... i got it very quick ... intelligent idea ... i would do some more complex combinations or even use numbers like 1,1,2,3,5 = 8 (fibonacci)
cool, rated high in innovation

gene-z 2014-12-10 21:21

hahah, crazy,,,

lycrashampoo 2014-12-10 21:35

Awesome art, concept, and audio! I kept waiting for the patterns to increase in complexity, but then they didn't. Also, despite making everyone laugh every time, my score was zero?

mase 2014-12-10 23:11

The graphics are charming; the character selection is especially appealing.

The gameplay is too basic... needs more complex patterns. Written jokes might be nice as well; lots of opportunities for amusing "failed" punchlines here.

soulgame 2014-12-11 00:39

Origianl concept. Too much limited but with less signs and more possibilities you could make a good puzzle/rythm game or something near.

kitch 2014-12-12 06:32

Really cool little concept, but really easy to master (at least I think). Great start to something that could be really cool. Good job!

zkenshin 2014-12-13 00:46

This was a nice idea. good job!

mrexcessive 2014-12-14 10:03

Hi there. Like the pixel art and menus, animations. Gameplay itself was lacking something. Love the music. Good job!

billrizer 2014-12-14 18:37

Very nice presentation ++ points for Phaser.js :D

Kind of confused as to how to play tho!
