Haha that was fun. I'm impressed by the coloring and trimming mechanics. The controls were a bit difficult as the clippers didn't seem to cut exactly where I was clicking (maybe they were cutting across to where my mouse was but this made me make lots of mistakes). Good job.

What a fun game!!!
Shave and colorize it.

This is an awesome entry. I found it plays a bit like paper's please, you're encouraged to work fast, but also penalized for making mistakes.

The scale of the game is a bit too low, I found it really easy to completely screw up some guy's beard even with subtle mouse movements, because the shaver takes off like 10% of the beard each time. I also think a pre-set color list might be better than sliders, because that's where I wasted a lot of time.

Audio is awesome and complements the setting well.

Well done!

My shop almost lasted for 3 minutes, stiny rent wouldnt accept that I was about 5 dollars/euros short on the money :p

Different style game mechanic here, kept me interested till the end ;)

This is a funny concept ! Well done :) !

Great graphics, music and audio. Fun little game, only thing that I would have liked to be improved is little more accuray on the trimmer. Or it's me that is just bad. But overall a great game! :)
Ps. Go Suomi!! ;)

Great entry. Certainly nerve-wracking when you see the rent timer ticking down.

Great concept, and great fun! Kinda seems like the opposite of the theme though. Ah well, I enjoyed.

Funny game, wasn't really my type of game but still was fun.

Impressive game! I'm not entirely sure what feedback to give. Maybe a % meter of how close you are to what the customer wants? This is a really neat game! Good work!

blobo 2015-12-15 21:19

why arent those beards the new fashion sense. those were fabulous.

crucknuk 2015-12-15 21:36

The concept is nice :) Good job!

I never imagined it so difficult to own a beard trimming shop. But seriously: great idea for a game! And it's working quite nicely!

wasdmagician 2015-12-15 22:21

Fun game but the accuracy seemed terrible in places, sometimes it would take out areas of beard that weren't touching anything and other times the bit I was trying to trim just wouldn't go away.

stmatn 2015-12-15 22:26

Very fun game :D I like the idea!
Aiming was a bit tricky.
Nice work!

ildfuglen 2015-12-16 14:14

Funny little game, didn't seem to have much point to it but it was fun nonetheless!

shellfishgames 2015-12-16 17:36

Great entry, very well done. Survived for 6 minutes and then stopped because it seemed nothing new was happening and I was always barely good enough to not lose the game until that point. I really like how you managed to make the game pretty self explaining - no reading required whatsoever, just jump in and play. I wish more Ludum Dare games were like this. :)

rjhelms 2015-12-16 23:17

I love this idea! Felt a bit hard to control where I was cutting, but on the whole it's a really fun game with a charming style.

pilly 2015-12-20 17:32

This was great! Innovative mechanic and loved the use of the "growth" theme. This would make a fantastic mobile game, would love to see it there some day!

2015-12-20 18:33

Great stuff! Really tough, probably doesn't help that I'm colour blind!

I made a video on my Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/fQdnMTG8gIY

I got a 404 when going to the Web link.

eingya 2015-12-24 14:21

brilliant concept and good execution, well done!

flickta 2015-12-24 14:29

Extremely hard to trim beards properly, maybe that was the idea, but I think more precise controls would make the game better.
Still, it was funny while it lasted!

oski 2015-12-25 13:57

Fixed the link!

alhvi 2016-01-03 00:20

Really fun game. I think the controls need more precision but it was really fun and a really original idea. Good job :)

jupiter_hadley 2016-01-04 16:15

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

Fun and cute little game with a lot to it. I liked the characters and the sound effects felt right.

aflatminerstudios 2016-01-04 18:55

Funniest game I've played yet. Took me waaay too long to find that you could change to a more precise tool (more my bad playing than your controls). Just resulted in a lot of dudes having messed up mustaches. Excellent job.

xanjos 2016-01-04 18:58

Pretty amusing entry but ridiculously difficult because of the short time limit and hard to master controls (well either that or I'm probably too much of a perfectionist :V)
