Hm, do you have the source? I'll rate it after seeing it.

viza 2015-12-14 19:23

Hey, that is a pretty fun game!

kepons 2015-12-14 19:26

Very interesting concept and great execution. The graphics and sounds aren't anything special, but I find them appropriate for this type of game.

zanthia 2015-12-14 19:29

I love this game ! I think I could spend hours growing ties to the perfect size !

fluidvolt 2015-12-14 20:50

You really thought of everything, theme-wise! Interesting idea, a lot harder than I thought it would be -- I think I got one well-sized tie in my first go-round. I love the image of a tie coming out, it's like an ice cream nozzle.

sergicollado 2015-12-14 23:35

To much fun game!

blohod 2015-12-14 23:37

Very fun, I love your use of the three themes!

floppya 2015-12-14 23:40

I had a lot of fun playing this one. Great implementation of the themes.

georgebroussard 2015-12-14 23:48

This is solid across the board. Great idea and implementation! Nailed it.

hexagore 2015-12-15 00:03

5 stars for fun. I loved this.

2015-12-15 00:10

Awesome idea. =D

im-oab 2015-12-15 00:18

nice. easy to understand/ play. :)

kevin_pauly 2015-12-15 00:18

really funny idea!

picking-a-username-is-hard 2015-12-15 01:39

Wonderful game. I left a longer response on the actual newgrounds page.

rsf-krx 2015-12-15 03:54

The game was fun. I wish that it was "endless" and you had a health that got reduced for every tie outside a certain threshold, maybe not outside perfect, but maybe anything that gave 6 or lower points

esayitch 2015-12-15 05:00

Very awesome concept and execution. Great usage of both themes. All in all a very, very solid entry :) Can't think of anyway to improve it honestly. Maybe add more patron-types?

Good luck!

arzi 2015-12-15 09:51

Best use of the themes so far! Also, I like the chart at the end :)

tetha 2015-12-15 10:29

Good job on making some non-intrusive use of two button controls :)

mrmordem 2015-12-15 13:37

simple yet really fun, the concept is original, plus a nice use of both themes well done !

tipyx 2015-12-15 16:47

Ah ah ah. I'm wondering what I'll rate in the theme categorie :p. Good job :)

punkto 2015-12-15 20:44

I don't use Flash... :(

ittaimanero 2015-12-15 21:31

Nice! Loved how you combined the "three" themes, hahaha

dustystylus 2015-12-15 22:40

Excellent! Really excellent! A genious idea, and a cool implementation (though I'd say 'hold' right arrow rather than 'use' right arrow... at first nothing was happening). But seriously this is the sort of game I look forward to in LD, really good fun.

muel 2015-12-16 02:39

You approach on the theme was fanTIEstic!

local306 2015-12-16 16:45

Super neat tie growing mechanic!

banana4life 2015-12-16 18:05

Great work!

silkworm_sweatshop 2015-12-16 19:21

Great theme use and very fun!

danidre14 2015-12-17 01:43

Really simplistic and cool game.

Like how you made a mixture of the theme:
Growing-------------|
|---------TIE!!
Two buttons---------|

lullaby 2015-12-17 10:58

This is a so cool idea, the game is really great well done!!! Loved it :p

(coucou d'indiemag!)

axoona 2015-12-17 11:37

very good entry!

david-cookie 2015-12-17 11:50

Excellent idea! Didn't think of this "tie" theme ^^
Too bad there's no sound though :/
Great job!

davidb 2015-12-17 13:05

My first game with fun!

_hopfrog 2015-12-18 02:07

This was really fun to play! Although a bit challenging... Apparently I suck at telling the correct height of the shirts lol

teamvr 2015-12-18 05:02

I jammed out on this title. Much stars.

big-cow 2015-12-18 12:25

Um...WOW! Brilliant idea, excellently executed. This was fun, simple, addictive, funny and innovative. Jolly well done!

wan 2015-12-18 15:38

157- Hey there's a performance chart! Neato.

A very original and unexpectedly fun game.

dejvo 2015-12-18 19:02

oo noice idea. i had a simmilar one :D also, i really fancy the graph at the end :)

ghostbomb 2015-12-18 20:56

I like it. Simple but fun.

eduardo 2015-12-19 17:08

That's funny. A really good catch on the theme! good job!

wooltech 2015-12-20 02:19

Brilliant! Such a simple idea, but it feel fun and lasts just long enough.

Also well done on the bad pun using all three themes!

andreasl 2015-12-21 11:40

Fun idea! Been playing this a bit on Newgrounds ever since I posted my game there. I seem to be terrible at it but the gameplay still bring me back.
Original idea, works with with the theme I think. Good job!

ddr2 2015-12-21 14:13

that theme oO 5/7 perfect score ;)

randomhuman 2015-12-21 16:42

I wish I coulf give you more than 5 stars for theme ;) Great game.

scorched 2015-12-22 20:45

Nice sense of humour! Solid game! Perfect! :-)

josearias 2015-12-24 14:52

I loved it!

karlipoppins 2015-12-27 19:59

This was amazing, perfect across the board.

wizzardmaker 2015-12-27 20:01

Great Game! I had a high score of 157 Points, I dont know if its good, or bad, but I have it. I wish the ties ad a momentum, they just stop after cutting them of, in real life physics the cut object inherits the speed of the cutting object, just to let you know. You probably already knew, but hey I missed that part.

synthetic-entropy 2015-12-27 20:10

Short, sweet, to the point. At least, most of my ties were too short. Great idea, would love to see it fleshed out a bit.

otiose-ent 2015-12-27 20:21

very cool and funny idea and turned out to be a great minigame!

zpeedtube 2015-12-27 20:22

Love it, can't really come up whit anything to improve! ^^

brainstorm 2015-12-27 20:32

Really cute game, combining the aim mechanic with the growing one was a great choice!

4/5

digitaldude555 2015-12-27 20:52

Very fun to play and good use of the theme.

acotis 2015-12-27 21:23

Haha, great concept! I had to take a theme star away because of "press space to continue" instead of "press one of the two buttons to continue" though ;)

vortex 2015-12-27 21:40

Your game is really fun and I like the graphics. A slight improvement in my opinion would be if you had some sort time pressure, but apart from that, great game!

nizar89 2015-12-27 21:50

Very fun to play :)

xwarzonex 2015-12-27 21:57

I LOVE THIS GAME! I like how you interpreted the theme. The gameplay was really addicting, and the sounds and graphics fit perfectly! My favorite feature was the google charts after each round, that was great. Good Job.

milo 2015-12-27 22:06

This game was really fun! The combo mechanic makes it really addictive, I think. Also, I'm glad I now know what to expect when tie shopping!

tijn 2015-12-27 22:29

A very nice entry! I was genuinely laughing :D

thebrickanator 2015-12-27 22:40

hahaha really funny and addicting... would have been cool to have seen some variety in people and maybe tie attributes :P this game deserves a full release to mobile or something

ointment 2015-12-27 23:41

This is actually quite well done and solid. Now that this exists, I finally have a game for which to give 5 stars in Theme.

The performance chart at the end is much appreciated, would hope more of these kinds of high scoring games displayed some stats.

foofanoo42 2015-12-28 01:19

Wonderful. I love a man with a long torso.

herniewise 2015-12-28 01:39

My favourite take on the theme so far, nice game!

eskivor 2015-12-28 01:54

5 stars, I love it !

xanjos 2015-12-28 02:12

Absolutely fun entry to play plus great use of both themes.

thebrickanator 2015-12-28 07:11

hahaha I just realized my earlier comment is irrelevant as I found this game via your mobile release post and didn't even realize it! I will download and play now! thanks :D

benjamin-soule 2015-12-28 10:40

Very fun game ! You choose very appropriate sounds for the ties.

dx0ne 2015-12-28 10:42

I think it's the weirdest take on themes(all three ;)). Fun and challenging.

anael 2015-12-28 10:57

Funny :)

justinooncx 2015-12-28 13:44

Very polished game, challenging but fun gameplay, and interesting take on the theme! Well done!

felixreeve 2015-12-28 14:35

Great entry and theme use! Funny too, which is great! Really like the graph at the end of each try which shows more than just a high score

aurel300 2015-12-28 14:46

What an odd idea for a game. But it's fun, I like it :)

flickta 2015-12-28 15:39

Very nice! Perfectly fits the theme ;)

starspell 2015-12-28 16:10

Excellent game. I love the concepts and the use of the themes. Very impressed with the graph statistics at the end.

miketsunami 2015-12-28 20:34

Funny game and really like the use of all "three" themes. =)

yuigoto 2015-12-30 01:45

Man, this is fun and challenging! Great use of the "three" themes too! You also got the perfect mood for the game!

Nice work on the pixelart, the whole concept, the controls and thanks for the fun! :D

boltkey 2015-12-30 02:39

I really liked it. The idea was great, it was smooth, it was addictive and it just worked. Good job!

The only complaint is that there is no restart button.

studiosaurus 2015-12-30 15:17

Pretty fun! The perfect tie length is a bit shorter than the full length of the shirt on some of them, but yeah, really good otherwise!

tapehead 2016-01-02 15:59

this is a funny game!!! well done!

sir-magic 2016-01-02 19:38

Good game, fun to play and an interesting concept, well done!

jupiter_hadley 2016-01-04 16:12

Fun, well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/eBJmDbHq4GI

twoscoopgames 2016-01-04 18:05

This is a really unique concept. cute game.

sinclairstrange 2016-01-04 18:20

That was really good! I really loved the simple yet interesting and challenging gameplay to this. Once I got down the length/guy's shirt I starting pulling off some combos! (Although I couldn't help myself in making THE LONGEST TIE EVER MADE. Must of pressed the tie making key at least 200 times.)

Also the performance chart at the end was a lovely addition, it really does make you want to come back and better your score and combo chain.

Overall top quality stuff!

zanzlanz 2016-01-04 19:32

I really like it! It's a funny game, with a really simple fun mechanic ;) Excellent job with the polish to the game.
