Awesome game! Enjoyed it a lot!

I downloaded the windows version and it gives an error whenever I try to run the executable. Something about the data folder needing to be next to the .exe... and it is, but it still gives the error.

Wow I like the narrative spin you put on this. For a post-jam version you should speed it up a bit (WarioWare style) and polish the mini-games. Really great idea.

I like the visuals and the concept a lot.

Sweet game, would work really well on mobile. It's got a bit of Dumb ways to die feels to it but it definitely needs some sounds.

Nice game. Very wario ware-ish. Visually everything looks super nice and I love how you used the concept of birthday wishes as lives.

I like so much about this. The visuals are cute, I love the take on the theme, I love the "haha, that's what I was actually doing" moments, and I loved the kid's reaction poses. Nice job. One of my favorites so far.

VERY nice graphics. Couldn't get pass the tree section even though. Maybe I should jump to the other side faster?

@orange08 I tried to reproduce this error, but me and my friend just downloaded zip file, extracted launched and everything worked. BUT when I tried to launch a game without extracting zip file I got an error you are writing about. Are you sure you extracted everything? We will still investigate a problem.

Wery funny game with amazing graphics!

riftpoint 2015-08-25 18:23

Very cool art style!

voidstar33 2015-08-25 19:00

Very nice idea. Like the narration of a monster through kids perspective. Very cool.

randyyaj 2015-08-26 21:57

Haha. I like the art alot. Gameplay is solid. This resembles the art I'm into. I'm curious to know what program you used to achieve this.

Very cute twist on the theme. A couple of the timing things were pretty particular (leaning back and lighting the buildings on fire) but I loved the quick game, Wario-Ware feel. Nice work!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, AMAZING GAME, GUYS!!!!! CONGRATS FROM BRAZIL.

blancohugo 2015-08-26 23:14

Awesome game! Like "expectation vs reality". hahaha
Really enjoyed! :)

Great looking game. I learnt I am terrible at granting wishes, but it was still fun!

anaglyphcoding 2015-08-27 12:39

Reminds me a lot of dumb ways to die, and the graphics were very faithful to that kind or art style. The lack of audio wasn't very appealing but the game itself made up for that, well done!

dragongino 2015-08-27 12:45

it is a really funny game

SophieExMachina 2015-08-27 16:21

I have no idea how to do the tree minigame and the tank one seems to be way too difficult to time, but other than that the game has some really cute graphics and the other minigames are pretty cool. It would be amazing with some more polishing and some sounds.

ilikescifi 2015-08-27 16:22

Oh yes. Thats good :=)

rothens 2015-08-27 16:34

I really loved this one. :) Cute graphics, nice plotting, it is awesome.

seconddimension 2015-08-28 17:13

Really liked the style and graphics. Interesting take on the theme.

tonny_elhond 2015-08-28 23:12

Poor monster guy! hahahah
Cool graphics, nice concept
Although, some times gets really impossible!

alxr 2015-08-30 13:59

Love that style! Congrats!

jayprog 2015-09-01 19:41

This is a really polished, well-made game! I really liked the visuals and how you went back and forth between the imaginary and then you get the reality of what the monster is doing after you mess up. Pretty funny! Great job!

disperse 2015-09-02 01:16

Super cute, the graphics were great. My best score was 9.

zatyka 2015-09-02 02:31

Lots of polish. Cute visuals and very fun. Great entry.

dickpoelen 2015-09-02 14:06

Like you said, there's some things that are missing, but you have the start of a fun game. Really like that when you fail you see the dad at the party instead of the monster version.

handkor 2015-09-03 19:48

I love the break from imagination. Ouch thumb-tack.

omarshehta 2015-09-04 09:06

It's definitely a fun little game. Adding more mini-games would definitely be great! I think the only thing that bothered me is not knowing when the game would start. If there was a countdown (or a click to play) that would make a big difference.

maesk 2015-09-05 19:18

Funny game! Nice work, reminds me of Wario Ware minigames.

6downstudios 2015-09-06 04:45

Very funny take on the theme! The art style is unique, and really fits the fanciful, kid's-story mood. The monster-to-dad/fantasy-to-reality parallels are especially creative! Glad to hear a post-jam's in the works, I love imaginative entries like this one!

drzanuff 2015-09-10 23:45

I just loved the art and gameplay. Keep it up
