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!

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!
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.

Very fun game :D I like the idea!
Aiming was a bit tricky.
Nice work!
Funny little game, didn't seem to have much point to it but it was fun nonetheless!
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. :)

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.

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!

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

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!

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

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)
